THE VACANT CHAIR.
The accompanying illustration is of-
fered as an excellent example of a
difficult design. The average vacant
chair has two faults: it is apt to be
shapeless, partly because of unskillful
workmanship and partly because of the
second fault — an attempt at too great
elaboration. In this case the design
was of sufficient size so that elabora-
tion in the decoration did not obscure
the outlines of the design; there was
space for plain areas to contrast with
the drapings, and the piece was on the
whole tremendously effective.
Instead of the usual wire frame, an
ordinary green willow porch chair was
used and mossed over, then covered
solidly with Enchantress carnations,
great care being taken to have the
work smooth and even. With this
groundwork in place, the design was
ready for trimming. For this, cattleyas,
roses, valley, sweet peas and lilies
were used, with chenille cord and tas-
sels on the arm and ribbon on the back.
One of the merits of this piece was
that it presented an equally good ap-
pearance from all points of view.
This chair was made by the Alpha
Floral Co., Kansas City.
THE SCIENCE OF FBICE.
Placing a Value on One's Skill.
While we may always have to sell
flowers in bulk by the dozen or hun-
dred, it does not follow that the price
of a decoration or design shall be de-
termined solely by the amount of stock
which it consumes. If we ever expect
to see floral decorative art take its
place in the front rank with other de-
partments of art, it will be when the
majority of florists learn to place a
value upon their work as work, and not
as so many dozen flowers, so many
pounds of moss and a frame. Then,
when that happy day comes, he will no
longer expect to value a funeral piece
by dozens, pounds and hundreds only,
any more than an artist would price
his picture by the number of paint
tubes, brushes and square feet of can-
vas which were required to reproduce
his ideal for other eyes.
Eight here, however, we might as
well understand that we must be able
to put the art into our work before we
can expect to get our money out of it.
But somebody will suggest that he does
not know how high a grade of work
his productions are. In the first place,
if his work is in the prevailing style
and like everybody else's, he has not
attained a rank higher than the man
who can build a brick wall, no matter
how perfectly he builds. But when
he can add or take from, some notice
may be taken of how he adds his orna-
ments to the brick wall or opens a
passage through it.
A Tradesman, but Also an Artist.
If I can construct a wreath after the
common fashion and remain satisfied
with it, I may -have learned my trade
well, but I have not yet begun to learn
my profession. But when I can re-
move some of my flowers from the
wreath, or bricks from the wall, and
open a passage through to something
beyond or opposite, or when I can add
a flower or a leaf which shall cause
my wreath to differ from what one Qtay
see any day, anywhere, then I may
be encouraged to believe that I have
name some day, and, other things being
equal, I shall reap the benefits finan-
cially. '
A Picture in Flowers.
At this point somebody will say,
"But we take orders in advance. Peo-
ple often do not see in advance what
they are getting. They must have some
idea of what to expect, some specifica-
tions as to size and number." To be
sure, they must. So must one when or-
dering his portrait. Give him a gen-
eral idea of what your plan is for
him, but it is poor policy to promise
so many dozens of one, so many dozens
of another, so many inches of length
and width to the piece. A good general
description and some idea of the style
and effect are all that can reasonably
be demanded.
Make the piece so that a spray or a
group may have as ifluch value to the
whole piece as a bit of drapery or a
position of the hand may have to the
portrait as a whole. In short, make a
picture with your flowers as paint, with
your stems as brush strokes, your con-

taken a step in the upward path. When
I pursue some plan of color distribu-
tion which is any distance removed
from hit or miss, I am at least a hope-
ful, and may be classed as a profes-
sional artist. I may make all kinds of
unprofessional blunders, but if my
courage holds out I shall deserve my
structive flowers or foliage as back-
ground, your lighter material as high
lights, and your individuality as the
•• little signature across the corner. Then
let it sell for what it is worth in char-
acter, in beauty of coloring, in skill of
blending, in strength and beauty of ex-
pression. This isn't as difficult as it

may seem. In every community there
are people who appreciate the artistic
touch and are glad to pay its price.
Better Value with Fewer Flowers.
Say, then, that you will decorate a
room or one feature of it for so much,
and do not bind yourself to a definite
number of flowers or other materials
of a certain grade. That will allow
you an opportunity to use fewer, finer
and larger specimens if it suits the pur-
pose, or a larger number of smaller
ones. If decoration is artistically done
with reference to the place, not many
will inquire about the number of flow-
ers employed. In fact, impress upon
them that they get better value in an
artistic effect than in superabundance
of material.
All this takes for granted that your
material is worth so much, your time
so much and the wear and tear so
much, added to the value of the pic-
ture. In other words, do not make the
selling price of the flowers and the
making-up materials, added to the time,
the only determining factors in esti-
mating the price of work. All these
things must be considered, but they are
by no means the only ones.
"But the other man won't do that."
Well, probably he has the same opinion
of you. At any rate, let him go his
way. Big quantities, too much for the
money, do not pay. It can not last in
the long run. Gertrude Blair.
THE WOBLD DESIGN.
The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph of a unique
design made by the Fleischman Floral
Co., Chicago, February 27. The design
was ordered by the friends of John J.
Bohn, publisher of the Hotel World,
who was instantly killed by an auto-
mobilie. The idea, of course, was to
connect the name of the paper with the
form "of the design, a reproduction of
the world in flowers. George Wien-
hoeber states that the piece was over
seven feet high, the oceans on the
sphere being made in white carnations,
with violets for the continents. Every
now and then a maker-up is compelled
by the necessities of his business tD
study the design of some society or
other emblem, but in this case it seems
a safe assertion that the florist had to
get out his geography, for the design,
though it shows only the western hem-
isphere in the picture, was complete on
both sides; the whole world was there.
FEATUBING THE ACCESSOBIES.
Every modern flower store carries in
stock a great nuany things besides flow-
ers, and upon the skill with which they
are displayed depends to a large extent
the volume of business done with the
innumerable accessories which so en-
hance the attractive qualities of the
work turned out,- and which add so
materially to the profit that is made in
the operation of the store. In fitting
up a flower store it is worth while to
give considerable study to the facili-
ties for the display of the accessories.
You know the old proverb, "Out of
sight, out of mind." Pause long enough
to give a thought to the fact that the
old saw applies to yourself and your
clerks as well as to your customers;
^lesmen are as prone as others to for-
get. Whatever you have to sell, it
should be kept in sight — in sight of
everyone and all the time.
The illustration on the opposite page
was prepared from a photograph made
recently in the new store of C. P. Muel-
ler, Wichita, Ean., who has achieved
two worthy ends in his effort to make
things handy as well as up-to-date. In
the first place, he has an attractive es-
tablishment, one that would be a credit
to a much larger town than Wichita,
but a no less im,portant fact is that he
has so arranged his store that the
basket^, vases, jardinieres, pot covers
and ribbons are where clerk and cus-
tomer both have them in view — and
seeing is believing in this as well as
in other things. By all means keep
your accessories attractively in sight —
play them up and your use of them
will increase, and with this increase
will come added profit.
THE BEGINNEB.
The World in Flowers.
I was much interested in the paper
published in The Review, by S. S. Ski-
delsky, entitled "Are We Progressive?"
especially in the question he raises
about the would-be florist. There is no
doubt that there is a common delusion
that there are tremendous profits to be
made in the growing of flowers that in-
duces many small capitalists, who have
absolutely no knowledge of the subject,
to go into the business; most of them
after a few years sell out at probably
one-third to one-half the original cost; a
few struggle along and by hard work
manage to make both ends meet. This
constant flow of capital into the busi-
ness, for which there is no adequate re-
turn, must tend to reduce the profits of
the legitimate grower.
It does not follow, because a man
has succeeded in raising a few plants in
his own little greenhouse or hotbeds, or
because he has, or thinks he has, a love
for flowers, that he is competent to
grow stock for market. If this man
wishes to become a florist, there are
opportunities offered in private estab-
lishments, which work would probably
suit him better. Is there any other pro-
fession in which the ways and means
are so easily accessible to the public as
the florists'? Could not a more definite
line be drawn between private and com-
mercial horticulture? I do not think
we require horticultural schools so much
as schools where commercial growing
can be taught. Why do not some of our
best growers take pupils? We seem to
have plenty of colleges, presided over
by learned professors, which is all very
well for the private gardener. I believe
horticultural schools for young men,
who are not and never have'worked at
the business, only tend to increase the
number of incompetents. They get
chock full of theory, and when they
start at the practical work they expect
to begin too high up, without having a
thorough knowledge of small details,
which, in this business, is one of the
chief factors which go to make suc-
cess in growing; also it tends to make
them forget the hard work, even

drudgery, connected with it, which, no
matter how learned a man may be, has
to be performed by everyone in most
commercial establishments. I have
failed to find or know of any one who
can recommend one comprehensive and
really practical work from the market
growing standpoint on the science of
the soil. I am as anxious as any one to
learn and improve my knowledge in this
line, but where are you to turn to. find
really reliable instruction? How many
of our growers have ever had a com-
plete analysis made of their soil, and, if
they have, know how to make practical
use of it in the growing of various
crops? I should like to see some letters
on these subjects in the columns of
The Review by more able men than I,
who am only a working florist.
F. Williams.
A great many people will differ with
the idea that those who go into the
florists' business should first gain a com-
prehensive knowledge of its details. The
fact is that until recent years few of
those who made a start in the trade had
any special knowledge of it. They sim-
ply made a start and worked out their
own salvation. Nor will there be agree-
ment that those who make a start and
then drop out reduce the profits of the
established florists. The man who isn't
making any too good progress is in no
position to undersell — not for long. The
consumption of plants and flowers is in-
creasing far too rapidly to have the
.mere presence of a few beginners affect
its profits to any appreciable extent.
GIGANTEUM LILIES.
What is the matter with my giganteum
lily bulbs? I sent my order in early to
one of the most reliable houses in the
country, but did not receive the bulbs
until November 3, when they were at once
potted and placed on a bed of cinders
under a bench, where there is no drip,
in a house run at a temperature of 40
to 45 degrees and covered with excelsior.
I have been careful about watering, so
as not to get them too wet. They are
only slightly rooted and have not shown
any signs of top growth. Under the same
bench and with exactly the same treat-
ment I have some Formosa and Harrisii
potted at the same time and they are
three inches high and finely rooted.
Kindly advise me what to do to get the
longiflorums in for Easter. I can give
any temperature from 35 to 90 degrees.
I have grown lilies for five years and
have not failed to have fine lilies and
on time too. E. W. H.
growths have appeared above the ground.
Then move them into a house run at 60
to 65 degrees at night and you will have
your plants in nice shape. They will
be too late for Easter unless you can
count the buds early in March. If
late, better carry cool for Memorial
day than bring in just after Easter,
when demand is slow.
The bulbs of Lilium longiflorum gigan-
teum are always later in arriving than
other varieties of the Easter lily. L.
Harrisii and Formosa L. longiflorum are
both naturally much earlier and are re-
ceived in the United States two to three
months earlier than the giganteums, and
the fact that they had been dormant
quite a long time before you received
them would make them form roots and
start to grow much more quickly than
the later form. Your treatment for the
giganteums has been quite right. Leave
them where they are until the pots are
well filled with active roots and the
TO MAKE HYDRANGEAS BLUE.
One of our customers writes us in-
quiring what chemical to use and in
what quantity to make Hydrangea pan-
iculata grandiflora and Hydrangea ar-
Borescens sterilis bloom blue. Can you
give us any information?
W. B. N. C.
I do not know the method whereby
H. arborescens and H. paniculata
grandiflora can be made to produce
blue, instead of white flowers. The
more tender H. Otaksa, a Japanese va-
riety, frequently produces blue instead
of pink flowers. Some varieties of this
are always blue. Some, again, will be
pink under glass and blue if grown
outside, and vice versa. Certain chem-
icals in the soil are believed to cause
the flowers to become blue. A little
broken alum mixed with the soil when
potting will assist in making the flow-
ers blue. Other growers have found
that the incorporation of iron filings
in the compost produces similar results.
I have no faith, however, in either
alum, iron filings, or any chemicals
turning the white varieties blue.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
For Outdoors.
The present is a suitable time to
make a sowing of sweet peas in pots
for planting outdoors. These should not
be placed in any artificial heat at all.
A coldframe, which can be protected
with mats and board shutters, is an
ideal place for them. Stand the pots
close together on a bed of clean cinders.
Sow two seeds in each 3-inch pot and
thin out to one, or five or six in a 4-inch
pot and thin out to three. Never mind
if the temperature in the frame falls to
32 degrees, or even below it; no harm
will come to the peas. As the seedlings
germinate, keep them well aired, and be-
fore planting-out time arrives remove
the sashes entirely during the day and
on mild nights. Planting out can be
done any time from the middle of April
until the beginning of May. Plant
those from 3-inch pots a foot apart and
the 4-ineh ones eighteen inches apart
in the rows. It is better to have the
brush or other supports in position be-
fore setting out the little plants. Closer
planting than recommended is not ad-
visable, as at the distances named the
plants will make strong haulm and soon
cover the supports. They will also
carry much finer flower stalks than
when planted more closely. Of course,
the ground in which they are planted
should be rich and well prepared. It is
a mistake to start the plants in heat.
They will come along faster, but never
prove so satisfactory as those raised in
cooler quarters.
A small selection of good outdoor va-
rieties is as follows: White, Dorothy
Eckford, White Spencer; lavender, Asta
Ohn Spencer, Frank Dolby; orange
pink, Helen Lewis, Miss Willmott;
pink. Countess of Spencer; blush, Mrs.
Eoutzahn Spencer; scarlet and crimson,
King Edward VII, John Ingman; blue
and purple, Navy Blue, Lord Nelson.
As a general rule the light pink, orange
pink, white and lavender shades are in
the best demand. Anyone planting
mixed seed is away behind the times.
There are few customers who want mix-
tures and they are unsalable in the
flower markets. Plants started at once
in pots will give flowers ten to four-
teen days ahead of the earliest outdoor
sown ones and better flowers at that.
Under Glass.
The later sowings of sweet peas are
now growing rapidly and will soon have
flowers opening. With the increasing
sunhcat and longer days, it is now pos-
sible to ventilate much more freely.
Avoid, however, anything in the nature
of cold drafts. In March we frequently
get a day which starts out hot; soon a
black cloud will start a snow squall,
with alternate sunshine and cloud the
re^ of the day. It is necessary under
these conditions to watch the venti-
lators closely, or mildew will get a start,
and is not easily eradicated. Preven-
tion is much better and easier than
cure. With the plants growing so fast,
the work of stringing and fastening
them up will need constant attention
and must never be neglected, as once a
stem gets bent the flowers are unsalable.
Houses which are now in full crop
should have more feeding now, either in
the form of liquid manure or top-dress-
ing of cow or sheep manure lightly
pointed in with a fork. A dressing of
fine bone, scratched in, is also good.
Maintain a night temperature of 48 to
50 degrees and the plants will enjoy it.
It is a great error to run them at 55 de-
grees. You may get longer stems, but
the flowers are softer and do not stand
up like the cooler grown ones.
SHAMBOCKS.
Can you tell me how and when to
plant shamrock seeds and what care
to give them in the greenhouse, or out
in the ground? J. E. W.
The only time when shamrocks are
in demand is March 17. It is, of course,
much too late to secure plants from
seed now for that date. The seed should
be sown during October or November,
in shallow flats in a house kept at
about 45 degrees at night. When suf-
ficiently large to handle, prick out in
other flats and later pot singly, or place
several plants in small pans. Always
grow them in full sun and not in any
temperature exceeding 50 degrees, 5
degrees lower being better. C. W.
FOBCING SHBUB BLOOM.
How long does it take to bring dor-
mant branches of apple, plum and
cherry into blossom? We are figuring
on a decoration for a millinery opening.
M. & J.
From two to three weeks in a tem-
perature of 65 degrees at night will be
required. Place the branches in a good
bulk of water and spray freely until
the flowers start to expand. Forsythia
will open within two weeks. The ap-
ples, pears and cherries require a few
days longer. • C. W.
SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. .
Propagating.
Increasing sunlight, longer days and
the fact that the cuttings are getting
longer, all serve to warn the chrysan-
themum grower that he must be getting
his stock under way for the year 1911.
If the cuttings are leggy they can be
topped, leaving about six to ten inches
of stem, and later these stems will
throw out an abundance of quite good
shoots, though the ideal cutting is one
that is taken from the base of the
plant and is called a sucker.
It is assumed that these stock plants
are growing in a cool house. A tem-
perature of 40 degrees, with lots of
light, suits the chrysanthemum fairly
well.
If one desires to grow his plants ex-
ceptionally well, stock of all the slow
kinds should be in the sand as soon as
possible. This would include such
varieties as Beatrice May, A. J. Bal-
four, October Frost and others of. the
early varieties, October Frost is not a
slow growing variety, but it should be
gotten under way in good season, be-
cause one must secure an early bud on
it in order to get a heavy, full flower.
It is quite impossible to plant October
Frost from a June cutting and then
expect a good flower. Some good grow-
ers take cuttings from their plants in
November or December, as soon as they
are through flowering, and these, when
potted up and benched in the new year
and afterward planted out in a light.
airy bench, soon throw an abundance
of nice, healthy cuttings for late spring
propagating.
One Cause of Failure.
The grower who sticks his stock
plants under the bench and keeps them
there until this season of the year,
always invites failure and nearly al-
ways meets with it. Where the stock
plants have been growing cool and.
hardy and the cuttings are hard, there
will be practically no loss in the sand
bed, with reasonable treatment. Where
the cuttings are soft, they will simply
melt away in most cases when propa-
gating begins.
A sand temperature of 50 degrees ia
ample, and we find in this season of
the year that if cuttings in a north
house receive a good soaking when.
they are put in the sand, this is gen-
erally enough water to carry the cut-
tings until they are rooted and ready
to come out. When one is propagating
in a house that is more or less exposed
to the sunlight and has more ventila-
tion, it is, of course, a different proposi-
tion, and cuttings in such a position
would stand spraying almost every day.
The process of separating the cut-
tings is well known to almost every
grower and consists merely in removing
the bottom leaves of the cuttings and
shortening back the tips of the upper
ones. This permits setting the cut-
tings closer in the bench and gives the
air a chance to circulate through them,
thus lessening the possibility of loss
by damping. • Chas. H. Totty.

FEBTILIZINO THE FIELD SOIL.
I am seeking a little of your valuable
advice about the planting of carna-
tions in the field. I sowed the land
last fall with rye, so as to plow it under
this spring to serve for manure. Farm
manure is not obtainable in this sec-
tion and I have been thinking of put-
ting bone meal on after it is plowed
and then harrowing it in. How much
bone meal per acre would you advise
me to use? Any other advice would
be gladly welcomed. A. C. W.
Be careful that you do not overdo the
fertilizing of your carnation field. There
is danger of starting stem-rot by having
it not in the proper state of decomposi-
tion. The green crop which you are in-
tending to turn under this spring would
be all that I would advise for this
spring. If you have a lot of wood
ashes it would be a good idea to put on
a good sprinkling of it before you har-
row, instead of the bone. If you need
more fertilizer on the field, and you
cannot get stable manure, I would ad-
vise you to get ground sheep manure
instead of bone. Plow the field late
next fall, after you have dug all the
carnations. Then put on the sheep ma-
nure at the rate of about two tons to
the acre and harrow it in slightly. Be
sure this fall plowing is deep. In the
spring plow only moderately deep, so
the manure, will not be worked down
too deep.
I might add that it is not considered
wise to make your field soil too rich.
You do not want a rank growth in the
field, and if your soil is moderately rich
in plant food, so that the plants will
make a moderate growth, it is better
than if it were extremely rich. The soil
in your benches should be a great deal
richer than that in the field, as that is
where you want the strong growth.

NAME or CAENATION.
We are sending you under separate
cover a carnation bloom which was
taken from an odd plant that is among
a bench of our Rose-pink Enchantress.
We consider it something special, for
it is a strong grower and free bloomer.
I have taken from it seven blooms and
forty-eight cuttings and there are five
flowering shoots left on the plant.
Please give me the name of the variety.
A. M. B.
The plant that is mixed with your
Rose-pink Enchantress is Afterglow.
This is a good record for that variety,
and if you succeed in getting as good
results on an average per plant next
season you will find it highly profitable.
It will give you a high quality of bloom,
but most growers have found it hardly
prolific enough in flowering.

THE SOIL OR THE FERTILIZER?
I am sending you a sample of soil
from our benches, in which we are try-
ing to grow roses, carnations, violets,
lettuce, etc. Will you kindly let us
know whether it is a suitable soil for
this purpose, as well as for a full line
of pot plants?
I also enclose a sample of a fertilizer
which we have used on this soil. The
advertised analysis of the fertilizer is
as follows: Animal ammonia, 6.5 per
cent; nitrogen equivalent, 5.85; animal
phosphate, 1.8; phosphoric acid, 8.26;
pure potash, 3,0. When used as a top-
dressing, it creates a mold on the soil,
and young stock planted in soil in
which this has been used damps off.
We have to buy all our soil each year,
and this is what was delivered last
year. Our stock is not in the best of
condition; the plants do not seem to
take hold and grow as they should,
especially the roses. We have used
liberal quantities of both cow manure
and bone meal. If you can give me
any information on this, it will be
much appreciated. W. E.
The sample of soil has not reached
me, so I can say nothing about it.
The fertilizer used, if the analysis is
correct, should have no ill effect on
plants. It would be advisable, how-
ever, to refrain from using it on very
young stock. By mixing it with twice
its bulk of good sod, when using it as
a mulch, it will be rendered safer. Cow
manure is the safest and most suitable
manure when it can be had pure, and
by using it in the proportion of one
part to four or five of soil good results
can be obtained. Ribes.
VALLEY IN COLD STORAGE.
What temperature is correct for val-
ley when held in cold storage? How
should valley be treated upon being
taken out of cold storage? What is the
coldest the temperature can become be-
fore it will hurt valley in cold storage?
Would not injury be more likely to oc-
cur if the temperature should run up?
H. H. K.
A temperature varying from 25 to 28
degrees, but as near the latter figure as
possible, is best. I have had good suc-
cess in holding them at 26 degrees, but
28 degrees seemed to give even better
results. When taken out of cold stor-
age, valley must not be at once placed
in a warm, light house, or it will sus-
tain great injury and will perhaps be
rendered entirely useless for forcing.
Thaw out in a cool cellar, shed or other
building; if dark, so much the better.
The temperature, if allowed to remain
below 24 degrees for any considerable
time, is liable to damage the pips. On
one occasion a batch was held at 20 de-
grees for an experiment, but one ex-
perience of that kind suflSced. The
greatest injury, of course, comes from
the temperature running up. Lily of
the valley in the open ground becomes
active even when the temperature is
below freezing, and if your cold storage
temperature should rise and remain at
32 degrees or even a degree lower for a
few days, the pips would sustain injury.
A fluctuating cold storage plant must
be avoided. If you cannot keep an even
temperature, it will be far better to
purchase from some reliable firm which
specializes in this class of valley pips.

Azalea Mollis.
The pale yellow and pink shades of
Azalea mollis are in good demand at
Easter; in fact, none of these azaleas
are of the sour, unsalable shades. A
period of six to seven weeks, in a
temperature averaging 50 degrees at
night, is ample to flower Azalea mollis.
Its treatment differs little from that of
the lilacs. As the flowers start to ex-
pand, give them protection from the
direct rays of the sun and be careful
never to allow them to become dry.
One drying out will completely spoil
the flowers.
Acacias.
Acacia paradoxa, or A. armata, as it
is commonly called, merely requires a
cool house to flower it for Easter; 45
degrees at night from this time on will
suffice. None of the acacias will tol-
erate forcing. It is also a mistake to
get such varieties as A. armata in
flower before Easter, unless there are
special calls for it, as the little, cir-
cular, pale yellow flowers soon turn
brown and, when once they have turned
this shade, it is quite a task to pick
them over and make them salable.
Acacias are among the most beautiful
of Easter plants. Particularly charm-
ing is the graceful A. pubescens, while
heterophylla, Drummondii, Kiceana and
others are all lovely.
Amaryllis.
As the amaryllis spikes advance,
some liquid manure may advantage-
ously be given to the plants, using it
in moderate doses only, at intervals of
four or five days. Amaryllis, when
either growing or developing their
flower spikes, enjoy a little bottom heat
and always seem to thrive better where
they can be plunged in leaves, cocoanut
fiber or some other material. In the
case of seedlings that are flowering for
the first time, it is not good policy to
allow more than one spike to develop.
The bulbs frequently throw two spikes,
the flowering of which would be a
severe strain upon them. Leave a
single spike and the flowers will be of
much finer quality. Where the spikes
are to be cut, it is better to do this
before the first flower becomes fully
expanded. Amaryllis are not easily
packed without damage to the flowers,
when fully opened. Seedlings sown
early in the year should be potted off
singly into 2V:.-inch pots when they
show their second leaves. Use a light
compost, containing two-thirds leaf-
mold, at the first potting.
Show Pelargoniums.
Show pelargoniums should, where re-
quired, now receive their final potting.
Use a compost containing two-thirds
fibrous loam,' one-third dry cow manure,
also a dash each of sand and fine bone.
Drain the pots efficiently and pot firmly,
leaving a good margin for water. Con-
tinue to grow the plants cool and airy
and they will pay for it when they
flower; 45 degrees is as high a night
temperature as they need. Of course,
they can be grown warmer, but are
never so good. Green aphis is the arch
enemy of the show pelargonium and
must never be allowed even to show
itself. We often see batches of these
beautiful plants simply alive with
aphis. The growers then give them a
heavy smoking, which is likely to re-
move the pests and flowers at the same
time. Fumigate often in light doses.
Keep the plants spread out and as
light as possible, and on warm days
give them a syringing. If they are
treated thus, you will get nice, stocky
plants, which will be creditable to you
and satisfactory to your customers.
Stevias.
Of course you remembered to save a
few old plants of stevia. If not, get
some cuttings at once and place them
in the cutting bench. There is, of
course, still ample time in which to
propagate them, but you can throw
away the old plants when your cuttings
are in, and get all the additional cut-
tings you will need from them. The
stevia is an old-fashioned flower, per-
haps, and one which can be grown
easily and inexpensively. It remains,
nevertheless, one of the most useful of
winter flowers, and no florist who has
any local trade or design work can
afford to be without it.
Gardenias.
Gardenia cuttings put in after Christ-
mas should be well rooted and potted
off before now. Use a moderately
heavy loam for them and give small
shifts at a time. A prime cause of
the yellows, so often seen, is overpot-
ting and overwatering. In benches the
trouble is even more general than in
the case of pot plants. Any growing
in pots should be fed with chemical
fertilizers, such as Clay's or Bon Ar-
bor, in preference to liquid manure. It
is the same with benches. If the soil is
shallow and porous, there is little dan-
ger of their getting sour at the root.
Judicious top-dressings from this time
on will keep a veritable network of
active roots on the surface. The spray
nozzle must be used twice a week to
keep down mealy bug. Avoid drench-
ing syringings directly out of the open
hose. This soddens the soil and does
more harm than good. Plants intended
for late winter and early spring flower-
ing will now be carrying a heavy crop
of buds. There is now little danger
of these falling. Chilly and too damp
root conditions will, however, cause
them to fall in showers.
^^^m
PEOPAGATma QEEANIUMS.
My place is heated with a hot water
system and the pipes are all under the
benches. ^.Under 'ordinary conditions
how long does it take a geranium cut-
ting, put in a 2-inch pot, to root ^d
be in a good condition to sell? How
many stock plants should a person have
to provide cuttings for a bench that
will hold 10,000 2-inch pots, and keep it
full? I have a good market, so can
move them as soon as they have nice
roots. Are stock plants best grown out-
side or under glass in benches, or in
pots? If in ^ots, what size? Also state
what treatment I should give them
through the summer. G. L. E.
Under ordinary conditions geranium
cuttings in 2-inch pots will make roots
within four weeks and be fit to sell in
six to seven weeks. They should have
a little bottom heat; 60 degrees is suffi-
cient, with a night temperature of 50 to
55 degrees, and they should receive full
sun all the time.
Some specialists make extravagant
claims about the quantity of cuttings
they can secure from a single stock
plant. Much, of course, depends on the
kind of stock plant, its size and
whether bench or pot grown. If you
can spare bench room it is better to
plant them out in four inches of soil.
Then, again, some geraniums produce
many more cuttings than others. I
should say you would need 500 to l,00O
stock plants; the smaller number would
suffice if they were strong and in a
sunny house.
Plants grown under glass all the time
are decidedly the best, but if you need
the bench space in summer for other
purposes you can grow in 7-inch or
8-inch pots outdoors, plunging them to
the brims in a bed of ashes. I would,
however, much prefer indoor culture all
the time. Cuttings produced under
glass are harder and less liable to damp
off than those taken from outdoor
plants.
If you are intending to start in the
business another fall, I would recom-
mend planting a bench with young
plants about the time your bedding-out
would be finishing. Use fibrous loam,
fine bone and some well-spent old ma-
nure. Too much animal manure pro-
duces a soft, sappy growth. When
propagating time arrives in early fall,
you would have a splendid lot of cut-
tings ready. The plants would need no
sun, but should have plenty of air. It:
is also better not to water as freely as
vou would chrysanthemums or carna-
tions. C. W.

JACKSON DAWSON.
Jackson T. Dawson, who January 7
was awarded the George R. White
medal of honor for eminent services in
horticulture, has for a long term of
years been one of the best known hor-
ticulturists in New England. He is
also well known all over the United
States, as well as in Europe. He was
born at York, England, in 1841. He
came while a child to the United States
and at the tender age of 8 years
worked in the nurseries of an uncle
at Andover, Mass. A few years later
he went to Hovey's then noted estab-
lishment at Cambridge, from which
many new things were introduced. The
Civil war found our friend fighting for
the Union. He was twice wounded
and has a leg which still reminds him
of that terrible conflict. Even during
the war he took an interest in the trees
of the south, and sent many packages
of seed home to Massachusetts.
Mr. Dawson became well known to
a large part of the public when it was
stated that he had found a good sized
colony of the real Scotch heather grow-
ing wild. In 1871 he was offered a
position under Francis Parkman, of the
horticultural department of the Bussey
Institution. In 1873 Prof. C. S. Sar-
gent took the place of Mr. Parkman,
and a little later assumed the director-
ship of the Harvard Botanic Gardens.
Mr. Dawson supplied him with many
plants and thus familiarized himself
with plants from all parts of the world.
He became specially interested in the
wild roses of Japan and started to
hybridize them, obtaining as a result
of his crosses such varieties as Dawson,
the first of the rambler type raised;
William C. Egan, Lady Duncan; Farqu-
har, a popular variety; Arnoldiana
Sargent and others.
As a result of twenty-five years or
more of labor the Arnold Arboretum
has become one of the Meccas for all
tree lovers in the New World, and
every European arboriculturist makes
it his shrine. Here are gathered to-
gether, from all parts of the globe, all
trees and shrubs which will withstand
the winters of New England. All trees
and plants in the Arboretum have, with
few exceptions, been planted by Mr.
Dawson.
As a propagator he stands without a
peer. He first showed nurserymen how
to graft conifers. He was first to raise
rhododendron seedlings in quantity un-
der improved methods. Of these latter
he now has some 20,000 in sixty varie-
ties from China, introductions of E. H.
Wilson's. He has grafted many hard-
wooded trees, such as oaks, chestnuts,
hickories, maples, etc. In an interview
he said: "Eternal vigilance has been
the secret of the success which has
come to me. All the oaks, elms, ashes,
catalpas, birches, beeches, conifers,
junipers and the rest of the thousand
and one varieties and species of trees
and shrubs which we have here have
been under my eye all the time through
these years. In one year I collected
50,000 native shrubs to plant in the
Arboretum. I also collected all the
laurels and yews."
Prof. C. S, Sargent said: "Jackson
Dawson seems to be able to look at a
plant and tell you what its affinities
are — that is, what it may be grafted
upon. He is a real wizard in this line.
He seems to know the art of grafting
by intuition, what stock to use, in what
condition to use it, and how to use it.
Jackson Dawson.
This knowledge and skill he has ac-
quired by patient practice and by lov-
ing the things with which he works.
Plants seem to respond to affection
and he has that affection in large meas-
ure. In addition to the great numbers
of trees and shrubs he has raised here,
no one can tell how many hundreds of
thousands he has sent to every part of
the United States and to all the coun-
tries of Europe."
Mr. Dawson is a member of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
and has won many medals at its shows
for his novelties. He is one of the
original charter members of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, serving on
the executive committee in 1888, as
vice-president in 1892 and president in
1893. His youngest son, Henry, oper-
ates the Eastern Nurseries; an elder
son, J. Frederick, is a member of the'
firm of Olmsted Bros., the noted land-
scape architects; one son, Charles J.,
who for some years was in the nursery
business and also secretary of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, is deceased.
Two daughters, Mrs. Harold Blossom
and Miss Laura Dawson, are living.
Many visitors to the coming national
show will remember Jackson Dawson
well, and no doubt many of them will
embrace the opportunity to see the
Arnold Arboretum, which is beautiful
even when vegetation is dormant. Mr.
Dawson is 70 years of age, but few
days elapse when he is not to be seen
at his accustomed stand,^ caring for his
thousands of seedling trees and shrubs,
many of which will some years hence
make wonderful additions to our gar-
dens. W. N. Craig.
Randolph, Vt. — H. M. Totman is re-
modeling his store, adding to its
attractiveness and improving his facili-
ties for handling the trade.
FINE THINGS NOTED BY KNIGHT.
One of the choicest collections of
twelve hybrid cypripediums ever exhib-
ited was .staged by Mr. McKenzie, head
gardener for E. B. Dane, at the spring
Boston show last week. It consisted of
some of the finest crosses and several
of them exhibited for the first time in
the United States. The names follow:
Cypripedium aureum Virginale x Ac-
tceus; Cypripedium x aureum Candida,
a most beautiful tj'pe of light colored
C. aureum; Cypripedium Leonidas mag-
nificum, one of the darkest of Lathami-
anum types; Cypripedium "Venus (in-
signe Sandera? x niveum), carried two
superb flowers, perfect creamy white;
Cypripedium aureum Kox had five splen-
did, well-developed flowers, the best type
I ever saw; Cypripedium aureum Hyea-
num, a large, bold flower, choice and
scarce; Cypripedium Gay Gordon, ex-
hibited for the first time in the United
States, a cross between Thompsonianum
magnificum and Lady Wimburne, the
most magnificent hybrid I have ever
admired; Cypripedium signatum car-
ried seven magnificent flowers; Cypripe-
dium Thompsonianum and Cypripedium
Lady Wimburne completed this excel-
lent group.
What is acknowledged to be the larg-
est specimen of Cymbidium Tracyanum
in the world was exhibited by Mr. Har-
vey, head gardener to Mr. Leeson, carry-
ing fifteen spikes of perfect flowers,
averaging twelve flowers to a spike.
Dendrobium nobile Virginalis was in
perfect form and its pure white flowers
were admired. Thousands of people in-
spected these groups with great interest,
denoting that orchids are to become uni-
versal favorites. The latter was ex-
hibited bv W. C. Eust, gardener to Dr.
C. G. Weld. Thomas Knight.

rUMiaATION OF VIOIJITS.
What effect would too much fumi-
gating with tobacco dust have on Marie
Louise violets? H. W. & S, W. A.
Too much fumigating will hurt almost
any plants, violets being no exception to
the rule. The effect on Marie Louise vio-
lets would be to cause a browning of
the edges of the foliage and a bleaching
of the color of the flowers. Many of
the large commercial growers now use
hydrocj'anic acid gas for fumigation,
but this must be used with extreme
caution. A safe method is to use
one of the tobacco papers, which will
injure neither foliage nor flowers and
leave no unpleasant odor behind them.

THE BEST VIOLETS.
1 have been growing violets for a
number of years, and thought of plant-
ing new stock the coming season. Is
Princess of Wales better than Cali-
fornia? I see the former is recom-
mended as a good violet. T have the
California, but think that I should have
new stock, as I have had the same
plants for nine years. Is Lady Hume
Campbell subject to leaf-spot, like
Marie Louise? J. F. J.
Princess of Wales is a much superior
violet to California. The latter has
been discarded for some years by most
of the big specialists. You can obtain
voung plants of this finest of all single
violets from many advertisers in The
Review a little later. If you once try
it you will want no more California.
All the single violets should be left out
until they have had a few degrees of
frost.
Lady Hume Campbell is sometimes
attacked by leaf -spot, but not so badly
as Marie Louise. Many who failed
with Marie Louise have good success
with Campbell. The latter is of a paler
color, however, than Marie Louise. My
own opinion is that, for those who can
grow it, there is no double violet which
yet equals the old Marie Louise.
C. W.
PROPAGATION OF PETUNIAS.
Will you tell me what is the trouble
with my double petunias? When I make
cuttings the old plant generally dies.
The cuttings root well, but as soon as
I cut again over one-half die. What
temperature do they like? Do they want
shade or plenty of light? I give them
all the sun I can and plenty of water.
J. J. K.
Petunias root well in a bottom heat
of 60 degrees, with a top heat of 50 to
52 degrees. Any cutting bench suitable
for carnations or chrysanthemums will
answer equally well for petunias. A
warm propagating bench, such as is
necessary for coleus or alternantheras, I
is unsuitable for petunias. Shade until
rooted and for a few days after potting,
until they become established; then give
full sun and a temperature of 50 de-
grees at night. Many of the cuttings
on old petunias are blind. They can be
rooted, but, like yellow marguerites,
which often act similarly, they will
never produce any growths, and if the
tops are cut off that ends them. Before
doing any propagating, it is a good
plan to head back the plants somewhat
and thus induce a crop of soft, succulent
cuttings, which are more likely to give
satisfaction. C. W.
THE lERIOATOE FLOWEE POT.
William Whitney Lewis, an architect
in Boston, Mass., has invented and pat-
ented a self -watering flower pot which is
extremely simple in its construction and
yet is so peculiar in some of its details
as to challenge attention, if not approval.
The invention is called the Joy-0 Irri-
gator Flower Pot. As the illustration
shows, it consists of a pot within a pot,
and the interesting peculiarity of the in-
ner pot is that the bottom of it is not
perforated, as in common flower pots,
but is made of a porous quality of clay,
while the rest of the pot is thoroughly
waterproof.
"This inner, or plant-holding pot,"
Mr. Lewis says, "is made of the ordi-
nary clay or any material suitably por-
ous, but this pot is imperforate, and
more or less of the walls of the pot are
waterproofed on the exterior surfaces.
The pot is enclosed in a reservoir of any
material impermeable by water, and the
water is supplied to the plant by soaking
through the porous portion of the plant
pot, the porous surface being, on the
average, restricted to the bottom of the
pot. Water also rises, by capillary at-
traction, in the body of the upright
walls of the pot, and is given off to the
soil. One filling of the reservoir will
water the plant for from eight to fifteen
days, the length of time depending on
the temperature, humidity of the atmos-
phere, etc. The surface of the soil in
the pot is never caked over, but is al-
ways porous enough to admit air to the
soil. The soil is r jt washed away from
around the stem or roots of the plant,
as in the usual methods of watering, and
the plant receives a constant and suffi-
cient supply of water without flooding
of the roots. In the case of plants re-
quiring much fertilizer, the lower por-
tion of the pot may, previous to filling
with soil, be packed to a reasonable
depth with sheep manure or other fer-
tilizer, which is slowly dissolved by the
percolating water and carried to the
plants. ' '
Conservative advocates of the different
sorts of self-watering devices generally
argue that these inventions, even if not
always useful to a practical, expert flo-
rist, may be helpful, nevertheless, to
many of that same florist's customers,
since the customers' methods of culture
are less skillful than those of the flo-
rist, and more in need of mechanical aid.
A contrivance, it is maintained, that does
not add anything to the success of an
adept may greatly increase the success of
an amateur. The action of a self -water-
ing flower pot, even if not absolutely per-
fect, may easily approach nearer to per-
fection than the action — or inaction — of
many unprofessional growers. And the
conclusion of the argument is, that self-
watering flower pots and the like may be
ejefellent articles, therefore, for florists
to keep in stock and sell to their patrons.
In support of this opinion, mention
might be made of the Illinois Heater &
Mfg. Co., of Chicago, whose self-watering
flower boxes have been extensively sold
by florists. There is a good demand, too,
for the metal reservoir vases, which also
embody the self-watering principle and
are intended for use on lawns, and in
parks, cemeteries, etc.
The inventor of the Irrigator Flower
Pot, in describing his own experience
with it, says again: "When the idea
is first broached to those interested in
flower growing, I am told that the plan
is impractical for many reasons, but
meanwhile the plants obstinately con-
tinue to grow and flourish as we never
before have had them do in the house.
In fact, our previous want of success is
what led my attention to the subject of
the self -watering pot,"
As to the future possibilities that are
involved in his invention, Mr. Lewis has
this to say: "My patent covers the
adaptation of the idea to window boxes,
tubs for large plants, etc., and is by no
means confined to the ordinary flower
pot. I hope to induce florists to adopt a
modification of the idea by which it
would be possible to automatically re-
plenish the water supply for an indefinite
number of pots, so that the water would
be supplied the year around with abso-
lutely no work or attention on the part
of the florist or his assistants. This
would be a money-saving device that
should be of great value in large con-
servatories. ' '
GOOD VABIETTES OF ASTEES.
What are the best varieties of asters
for outdoor growing, and when should
the seed be sown? What is the proba-
ble number of plants to each ounce of
seed? K. W.
The varieties of asters are quite
numerous. A few good sorts are:
Dawn of Day, double white, the earliest
of all to flower; Queen of the Market,
procurable in a number of shades, early,
of eirong branching habit, free flower-
ing; American Branching, robust, large
flowers, for late crops; Semple's and
Vick's are excellent, vigorous strains
for main or late crops; improved Vic-
toria, Crego of Comet typo and peony

flowered are other good varieties; Early
WoD'ler, procurable in pink and white,
flowers outdoors early in July and is a
valaable early sort. For early flower-
ing sow seeds under glass in March.
Later sowings can be made at fort-
nightly intervals, and during May the
seed can be sown outdoors. The latest
sowing should go in the first week in
June. If restricted to three varieties,
grow Queen of the Market, American
Branching and Victoria.
The number of plants an ounce of
seed will produce depends on the qual-
ity of seed and its treatment after sow-
ing. If of good quality and intelli-
gently sown, an ounce should give
4,000 to 5,000 plants. In purchasing
seed always secure the best; cheap
aster seed will only give disappoint-
ment. Select a sunny piece of ground
for your plants. Manure at liberally.
Aster.s naturally thrive best in a heavy
loam, but will grow in almost any soil
whicL in well enriched if they are kopc
thoroughly cultivnteJ while growing.

MANDA'S POLYPODIUM.
Polypodium Mandaianum came into
the limelight at the national flower show,
where it defeated two first-class nephrol-
epis sports for the award as best new
fern and later captured the gold medal
offered for the best plant not then an
article of commerce. The accompanying
illustration shows a house of it at W. A.
Manda's, South Orange, N. J.
Polypodium Mandaianum originated
at South Orange as a seedUng from Poly-
podium aureum glaucum. It is a free
grower under the ordinary treatment
given ferns, with a temperature of 60
degrees to 75 degrees. It can be grown
in pots, or as a basket fern, or on boards,
like a staghorn fern. The fronds grow
up to three feet in length and become
beautifully fringed, a peculiar glaucous
blue in color.
At the nation£Q flower show it waa
said, perhaps as a joke, that possibly the
judges made their award to this new
polypodium as a means of gracefully
sidestepping the unwelcome task of choos-
ing between two fine nephrolepises, but
there can be no question that public and
private conservatories all will want
Polypodium Mandaianum as soon as thej
find out about it.
NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
Arrangements are well under way for
the national fiower show, to be held in
Boston March 25 to April 1. The space
both for competitive and trade exhibits
is being rapidly taken, and from pres-
ent indications it will be the largest
affair ever seen in connection with the
florists' trade. The final schedules
have been printed and sent to all the
members of the different societies un-
der the auspices of which the exposi-
tion is held. Manager Chester I. Camp-
bell has had designed attractive art
advertising cards for the exposition
and these will shortly be sent to all the
larger cities in the country. An adver-
tising sticker for stationery has also
been arranged for and these also will
be sent to all the exhibitors and mem-
bers of the society. Manager Campbell
has had long experience in the exposi-
tion business and realizes fidly the im-
portance of such advertising. Among
the many expositions of which he has
charge are the Boston automobile show,
the national motor boat and engine

Every mail is now bringing in appli-
cations for space from those who in-

florists, while not entering in the com-
petitive classes, intend offering novel-
ties in artistic decorative effects, and
it may safely be predicted this exposi-

traying the acme of floriculture.
AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
Convention Program.
At a meeting held in New York city
last week a program was mapped out
for the general meeting at Boston this
month. The general business meeting
will be held Monday, March 27, at 2:30
p. m. It is planned to have August F.
Poehlmann and Wallace K. Fierson pre-
sent two fine papers. Tuesday morn-
ing election of officers and a general
discussion on new roses will take place.
Tuesday at 2:30 p. m. a meeting, desig-
nated by President Elliott as the ama-
teurs' meeting, will be held, with papers
by Richard Vincent, Jr., of White
Marsh, Md., on what he saw in Belgium;
by Rev. Dr. Spencer S. SuUiger, of Van-
couver, Wash., on his visit to the na-
tional rose show in London, England;
by William G. McKendrick, the man
whose aim is to make Toronto beauti-
ful, an amateur rose grower of exten-
sive experience.
Department of Registration.
A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.,
files the following described new roses
for registration:
Double White Killarney, a sport of
White Killarney, originating with the
J. A. Budlong & Son Co., Auburn, R. I.,
in January, 1910. It is stronger in
growth than the parent, with the same
general characteristics of foliage and
growth. The flower is pure white in
color, with an average of from forty to
forty-five petals. It is a wonderful im-
provement over the parent, having size
and substance in summer, when White
Killarney is comparatively single. The
variety will be disseminated by A. N.
Pierson, Inc., in 1912.
Killarney Queen, a deep pink sport of
Killarney, originating with the J. A.
Budlong & Son Co., Auburn, R. I., in
1909, that has the high color of Dark
Pink Killarney with an increased vigor
in growth. It compares among Kil-
larneys as American Beauty does with
other varieties, the stem and foliage
being much heavier and the petals near-
ly twice the size of the petals of Kil-
larney. The variety will be dissem-
inated by A. N. Pierson, Inc., in 1912.

FUMIGATION OF VIOLETS.
What effect would too mncli fumi-
gating witli tobacco dust have on Marie
Louise violets? JI. W. & S. W. A.
Too much fumigating will hurt almost
any plants, violets being no exception to
the rule. The effect on Marie Louise vio-
lets would be to cause a browning of
the edges of the foliage and a bleaching
of the color of the iiowers. Many of
the large commercial growers now use
hydrocyanic acid gas for fumigation,
but this must be used with extreme
caution. A safe method is to use
one of the tobacco papers, which will
injure neither foliage nor flowers and
leave no unpleasant odor beliind them.

THE BEST VIOLETS.
1 have been growing violets for a
number of years, and thought of plant-
ing new stock the coming season. Is
Princess of "Wales better than Cali-
fornia? I see the former is recom-
mended as a good violet. J have the
California, but think that I should have
new stock, as I have had the same
plants for nine years. Is Lady Ilume
Campbell subject to leaf-spot, like
Marie Louise ? .T. F. J.
Princess of Wales is a much superior
violet to California. The latter has
been discarded for some years by most
of the big specialists. You can obtain
vou}ig plants of this finest of all single
violets from many advertisers in The
Review a little later. If you once try
it you will want no more California.
All the single violets should be left out
until they have had a few degrees of
frost.
Lady Hume Campbell is sometimes
attacked by leaf-spot, but not so l)adlv
as Marie Louise. Many who failed
with Marie Louise have good success
with Campbell. The latter is of a paler
color, however, than Marie Louise. My
own opinion is that, for those who can
grow it, there is no double violet which
jet equals the old Marie Louise.

PROPAGATION OF PETUNIAS.
Will you tell me what is the trouble
with my double petunias? When I make
cuttings the old plant generally dies.
The cuttings root well, but as soon as
I cut again over one-half die. What
temperature do they like? Do they want
shade or plenty of light? I give them
all the sun I can and plentv of water.
^ J. J. K.
Petunias root well in a bottom heat
of 60 degrees, with a top heat of 50 to
52 degrees. Any cutting bench suitable
for carnations or chrysanthemums will
answer equally well for petunias. A
warm propagating bench, such as is
necessary for colons or Mlternantheras,
is unsuitable for petunias. Shade until
rooted and for a few days after potting,
until they become established; then give
full sun and a temperature of 50 de-
grees at night. Many of the cuttings
on old petunias are blind. They can be
rooted, but, like yellow marguerites,
which often act similarly, they will
never produce any growths, and if the
tops are cut off that ends them. Before
doing any propagating, it is a good
plan to head back the plants somewhat
and thus induce a crop of soft, succulent
cuttings, which are more likely to give
satisfaction. C. W.
THE lERIGATOR FLOWER POT.
William Whitney Lewis, an architect
in Boston, Mass., has invented and pat-
ented a self-watering flower pot which is
extremely simple in its construction and
yet is so peculiar in some of its details
as to challenge attention, if not approval.
The invention is called the Joy-0 Irri-
gator Flower Pot. As the illustration
shows, it consists of a pot within a pot,
and the interesting peculiarity of the in-
ner pot is that the bottom of it is not
perforated, as in common flower pots,
but is made of a porous quality of clay,
while the rest of the pot is thoroughly
waterproof.
"This inner, or plant-holding pot,"
Mr. Lewis says, "is made of the ordi-
nary clay or any material suitably por-
ous, but this pot is imperforate, and
more or less of the walls of the pot are
The Irrigator Flower Pot.
waterproofed on the exterior surfaces.
The pot is enclosed in a reservoir of any
material impermeable by water, and the
water is supplied to the plant by soaking
through the porous portion of the plant
pot, the porous surface being, on the
average, restricted to the bottom of the
pot. Water also rises, by capillary at-
traction, in the body of the upright
walls of the pot, and is given off to the
soil. One filling of the reservoir will
water the plant for from eight to fifteen
days, the length of time depending on
the temperature, humidity of the atmos-
phere, etc. The surface of the soil in
the pot is never caked over, but is al-
ways porous enough to admit air to the
soil. The soil is not washed away from
around the stem or foots of the plant,
as in the usual methods of watering, and
the plant receives a constant and suffi-
=x
cient supply of water without flooding
of the roots. In the case of plants re-
quiring much fertilizer, the lower por-
tion of the pot may, previous to filling
with soil, be packed to a reasonable
depth with sheep manure or other fer-
tilizer, which is slowly dissolved by the
percolating water and carried to the
plants."
Conservative advocates of the different
sorts of self-watering devices generally
argue that these inventions, even if not
always useful to a practical, expert flo-
rist, may be helpful, nevertheless, to
many of that same florist's customers^'
since the customers' methods of culture
are less skillful than those of the flo-
rist, and more in need of mechanical aid.
A contrivance, it is maintained, that does
not add anything to the success of an
adept may greatly increase the success of
an amateur. The action of a self -water-
ing flower pot, even if not absolutely per-
fect, may easily approach nearer to per-
fection than the action — or inaction — of
many unprofessional growers. And the
conclusion of the argument is, that self-
watering flower pots and the like may be
excellent articles, therefore, for florists
to keep in stock and sell to their patrons.
In support of this opinion, mention
might be made of the Illinois Heater &
Mfg. Co., of Chicago, whose self-watering
flower boxes have been extensively sold
by florists. There is a good demand, too,
for the metal reservoir vases, which also
embody the self-watering principle and
are intended for use on lawns, and in
parks, cemeteries, etc.
The inventor of the Irrigator Flower
Pot, in describing his own experience
with it, says again: "When the idea
is first broached to those interested in
flower growing, I am told that the plan
is impractical for many reasons, but
meanwhile the plants obstinately con-
tinue to grow and flourish as we never
before have had them do in the house.
In fact, our previous want of success is
what led my attention to the subject of
the self -watering pot. ' '
As to the future possibilities that are
involved in his invention, Mr. Lewis has
this to say: "My patent covers the
adaptation of the idea to window boxes,
tubs for large plants, etc., and is by no
means confined to the ordinary flower
pot. I hope to induce florists to adopt a
modification of the idea by which it
would be possible to automatically re-
plenish the water supply for an indefinite
number of pots, so that the water would
be supplied the year around with abso-
lutely no work or attention on the part
of the florist or his assistants. This
would be a money-saving device that
should be of great value in large con-
servatories. ' '
GOOD VARIETIES OF ASTERS.
What are the best varieties of asters
for outdoor growing, and when should
the seed be sown? What is the proba-
ble number of plants to each ounce of
seed? K. W.
The varieties of asters are quite
numerous. A few good sorts are:
Dawn of Day, double white, the earliest
of all to flower; Queen of the Market,
procurable in a number of shades, early,
of strong branching habit, free flower-
ing; American Branching, robust, large
flowers, for late crops; Semple's and
Tick's are excellent, vigorous strains
for main or late crops; improved Vic-
toria, Crego of Comet typo and peony
Makcii •_', mil.
The Weekly Florists^ Review.

llowered are other good varieties; Early-
Won' ler, procurable in pink and white,
flowers outdoors early in July and is a
vnlaable early sort. For early flower-
ing sow seeds under glass in March.
Later sowings can be made at fort-
nightly intervals, and during May the
soed can be sown outdoors. The latest
showing should go in the first week in
Juno. If restricted to three varieties,
grow Queen of the Market, American
Branching and Victoria.
The number of plants an ounce of
seed v.'ill produce depends on the qual-
ity of seed and its treatment after sow-
ing. If of good quality and intelli-
gently sown, an ounce should give
4,000 to 5,000 plants. In purchasing
seed always secure the best; cheap
aster seed will only give disappoint-
ment. Select a sunny piece of ground
for your plants. Manure it liberally.
Asters naturally thrive best in a heavy
loam, but will grow in almost any soil
wIiicL is well enriched if they are kopt
thoroughlv cultivTtei while growing.

MANDA'S POLYPODIUM.
Polypodium Mandaianum came into
the limelight at the national flower show,
where it defeated two first-class nephrol-
epis sports for the award as best new
fern and later captured the gold medal
offered for the best plant not then an
article of commerce. The accompanying
illustration shows a house of it at W. A.
Manda's, South Orange, N. J.
Polypodium Mandaianum originated
at South Orange as a seedling from Poly-
podium aureum glaucum. It is a free
grower under the ordinary treatment
given ferns, with a temperature of 60
degrees to 75 degrees. It can be grown
in pots, or as a basket fern, or on boards,
like a staghorn fern. The fronds grow
up to three feet in length and become
beautifully fringed, a peculiar glaucous
blue in color.
At the national flower show it WM
said, perhaps as a joke, that possibly the
judges made their award to this new
polypodium as a means of gracefully
sidestepping the unwelcome task of choos-
ing between two fine nephrolepises, but
there can be no question that public and
private conservatories all will want
Polypodium Mandaianum as soon as they
find out about it.
NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
Arrangements are well under way for
the national flower show, to he held in
Boston March 25 to April 1. The space
both for competitive and trade exhibits
is being rapidly taken, and from pres-
ent indications it will be the largest
affair ever seen in connection with the
florists' trade. The final schedules
have been printed and sent to all the
members of the different societies un-
der the auspices of which the exposi-
tion is held. Manager Chester I. Camp-
bell has had designed attractive art
advertising cards for the exposition
and these will shortly be sent to all the
larger cities in the country. An adver-
tising sticker for stationery has also
been arranged for and these also will
be sent to all the exhibitors and mem-
bers of the society. Manager Campbell
has had long experience in the exposi-
tion business and realizes fully the im-
portance of such advertising. Among
the many expositions of which he has
charge are the Boston automobile show,
the national motor boat and engine
House of Polypodium Mandaianum.
show, the stylo show, office appliance,
textile machinery, electric, exhibition
of aerial craft, and he will also guide

OUTDOOR CULTUBE OF DAHLIAS.
Kindly give me the treatment of the
dahlia, commencing with the large
dormant roots that have been wintered
in a frost-proof cellar. ' Having no glass
to start them under, I should like to
know the course to pursue to achieve
the, best results as regards the produc-
tion of flowers. H. H.
Dahlias want a sunny spot in which
to grow and flower. The soil should
be well manured and deeply plowed or
spaded. If the soil is heavy, use some
loose, gritty material, such as sand, fine
coal ashes or road scrapings, to make it
freer. For best results, do not plant
your roots until the middle of May or
the first part of June. Cut up the roots
with a sharp knife, leaving a single eye
to each division. Cover the roots five
to six inches. Lay them flat with the
crown point upward. A distance of
thirty to thirty-six inches between the
plants gives space for their proper de-
velopment, but if you intend growing
a quantity under field culture, eighteen
to twenty-four inches in the rows will
suffice. If you plan to support your
plants, drive the stakes in position be-
fore setting out your roots. Allow four
to five feet between the rows. If you
do not propose to stake the plants — but
we would advise you to do so if you arc
only growing a few dozens or hundreds
— pinch the top out of the young shoot
when it appears and has made two or
three pairs of leaves. This will make
the plants dwarfer and stockier. Cul-
tivate the plants freely from the time
they commence to grow. C. W.
MILE-A-MINUTE VINE.
A recent issue of The Review con-
tained the following inquiry, signed by
G. H. P.: "I should like to know the
botanical name of a vine that is used
around Wilkinsburg, Fa., for porches.
It has a leaf like the oak, about one
and one-fourth inches wide. They call
it Mile-a-iviinute, but I have never seen
it advertised by that name."
The following reply to this query
has just been received from William
M. Turner, who, like G. H. P., is also a
resident of Wilkinsburg, Pa.: "The
only name, other than Mile-a-Minute,
that I have heard used for it is Pilo-
gyne suavis. It is a rapid grower and
a beautiful vine, with small, white,
star-shaped, fragrant flowers. I have
never seen it grown anywhere but in
this section, but have had inquiries
concerning it from many different
states. The Eeview's columns are cer-
tainly the right place in which to ask
questions, if you want to find out any-
thing." ^
Mr. Turner's brief description of the
vine agrees well, as far as it goes,
with the description of Pilogyne sua-
vis which is given in the botanical dic-
tionaries, and thus the correctness of
Mr. Turner's identification of the vine
seems to be confirmed. The rapid
growth of Pilogyne suavis would also
make it appear not unlikely that the
name Mile-a-Minute might be popu-
larly or locally applied to it.
Pilogyne suavis, by the way, also
has at least two other botanical names.
Bailey's "Cyclopedia of American
Horticulture" says of it: "Melothria
punctata is a beautiful climbing her-
baceous perennial, better known as Pi-
logyne suavis and sometimes called
Zehneria suavis. Even when protect-
ed, it is too tender to stand the north-
ern winters. It blooms in clusters;
flowers, small, white and star-shape,
with a strong musk fragrance; leaves,
green, small and glossy. Being a very
rapid grower, it is desirable for cov-
ering verandas or for house culture. It
will do well in any part of a living
room where it has light. It will grow
as much as sixteen feet high in one
summer by having a liberal supply of
water every day and liquid manure
once a week. After growing outdoors
it can be cut down to six inches, pot-
ted and taken into the house for the
winter. In the spring it can be cut
back, again planted out and it will do
well. The roots can almost be called
tuberous, and can be kept dormant
during the winter, the same as dahlias,
buried in sand in a cool, dry place,
free from frost. Eapidly increased by
cuttings."
The opinion of Mr. Turner with refer-
ence to the name of the vine in ques-
tion is further supported by a letter,
just come to hand, from N. E. Beck, of
Massillon, O. Mr. Beck says: "I no-
tice, in The Eeview of January 26, that
G. H. P. wants to know the name of a
vine which is called in his locality Mile-
a-Minute vine, and which has a leaf
like that of the oak. I think this must
be Pilogyne suavis. We have been
growing this for some time and it is
the most rapid growing vine we know
of. The foliage resembles that of the
oak, and it blooms through the sum-
mer and fall until cut down by the
frost. The flowers are small, pure white,
literally cover the vines and are partic-
ularly fragrant. We propagate it by
taking cuttings in the fall before frost
and keep it in the house through the
winter. Four-inch plants planted in
May, about three feet apart, will cover
a large space in a short time. This vine
is preferred by many to hardy vines on
account of not covering the wood-
work in the winter and holding the
moisture."
TOEONTO.
The Market.
Trade has been normal and stock
coming in quite plentifully. The sun
has made its presence felt, and on sev-
eral days last week stock was rushed on
the market. Daffodils are a glut. Roses
are coming in good. Violets are plenti-
ful and of exceptionally good quality.
Beauties are scarce. Sweet peas are
also on the short side, but some of the
stores have a few fine ones. Lilacs of
excellent quality are coming in, both
cut and on the plant. Prices are ruling
good. The T. Eaton Co. and the S. H.
Knox Co. are holding cheap sales of
daffodils, carnations and violets. Violets
sell at 15 cents a bunch, daffodils 15
cents a dozen, and carnations 30 cents.
The quality is poor, however.
Various Notes.
J. H. Dunlop recently was taken ill
with appendicitis while on a business
trip to Barrie, Ont, He was brought to
Toronto and operated on, with gratify-
ing success. He is at present in the
General Hospital and is recovering as
rapidly as can be expected.
Recent visitors in town were S. H.
Waller, of Zanesville, O.; Robert Green-
law, of the S. S. Pennoek-Meehan Co., I
Philadelphia, and the representative of
the Roseville Pottery Co., of Zanesville.
Geo. Werley, formerly of J. H. Dun-
lop's, has accepted the management of
a retail store in Calgary.
Miller Bros, and P. H, Lawrence both
report a good wholesale business.
E. A. F.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Cl.arer skies and somewhat more
spring-like weather have been our lot
in the closing week of February, a
month which has proved unusually cool
and has caused a heavy drain on the
coal pile. Supplies are more abundant
all around and there is a general de-
cline in prices, Roses average a drop
of 2 cents to 3 cents. The short-stemmed
flowers, which were making 6 cents,
are now down to 3 cents. The decline
is less pronounced on the better grade
flowers. Beauties are arriving of excel-
lent quality and Richmonds show a great
improvement, Mrs, Aaron Ward con-
tinues in favor, while Killarney and
White Killarney continue the prime fa-
vorites. Carnations are seen in much
greater abundance and the quality con-
tinues of the best. Violets are of su-
perb quality, especially the singles. The
quantity of th^se arriving is now im-
mense. The best average 50 cents per
hundred, many going lower. Sweet
peas are steadily improving and long-
stemmed flowers are plentiful. Prices
are as variable as the quality — 500 for
$1 in some cases, and 75 cents to $1 per
hundred for select flowers. Popular
sorts are Christmas Pink, Mrs, Wallace,
Mrs, Sim, Greenbrook and Florence
Denzer.
The warmer weather has brought in
an avalanche of Dutch bulbous flowers
and these have taken a sharp drop in
price. The quality remains uniformly
good, Lilium longiflorum is overplenti-
ful and lower in price. L. speciosum
is not selling well. Mignonette is plen-
tiful, but of poorer quality. Callas are
excellent. Valley has been rather drug-
gy. The quality is a great deal better
than it was a month ago. Gardenias
are in heavier supply and the crop of
Cattleya TriansB is still ample for all
demands, Coelogyne cristata is now
seen in many of the stores, also a vari-
ety of dendrobiums. Green goods con-
tinue in good demand. Pot plant trade
is picking up nicely. Rambler roses in
variety are getting to be quite a fea-
ture in many stores, also acacias and
ericas.
Midwinter Flower Show.
Owing to the near- approach of the
national show, the midwinter exhibition
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, February 24 to 26, was much
smaller than usual, most of the regular
exhibitors holding back their plants for
the later show. Still there were some
interesting and meritorious exhibits.
Particularly noteworthy was the beauti-
ful collection of hard-wooded plants
from George Page, gardener to Mrs,
Frederick Ayer, which included splendid
flowered plants of Erica melanthera, E.
Mediterranea, E, Caflfra densa. Acacia
verticillata, A. Drummondii, A. longi-
folia and A. heterophylla. For a grand
specimen of Erica melanthera a cultural
certificate was awarded. Winthrop
Ames, Daniel Wlhyte head gardener, had
the best specimens of Primula Kewensis
Mabch 2, 1911.

and P. obconica, taking first and third
for the former and first and second for
the latter, other prizes going to Mrs. F.
Ayer and Mrs. J. L. Gardner, "William
Thatcher gardener. In the cyclamen
classes William Whitman, M. Sullivan
gardener, Mrs. J. L. Gardner and Mrs.
F. Ayer were the winners, Mr. Sulli-
van almost swept the deck in the vari-
ous bulb classes, including a silver
medal and first prize for the best group
of miscellaneous bulbs arranged for ef-
fect. Some excellent bulbs from ama-
teurs were staged by Miss Margaret
Band and Henry L. Band.
A. W. Preston, John L. Smith gar-
dener, had a fine bank of cinerarias,
schizanthus, acacias, primulas, genistas
and bulbous plants; Mrs. J. L. Gardner,
specimen cinerarias; William Whitman,
a table of primulas; Mrs. E. M. Gill, a
fine general display, and William Sim, a
splendid table of single violets and
sweet peas. The latter were of superb
quality and included Wallace, Green-
brook, Christmas Pink, Florence Denzer
and Mrs. W. W. Smalley. E. B. Dane,
Donald McKenzie gardener, had some
fine cypripediums. Certificates of merit
were awarded to C. Maudiae magnificum
and C. Venus (insigne SandersB x
niveum). Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Bust
gardener, had the best specimen orchid,
showing Dendrobium nobile virginale;
second, J. T. Butterworth, with Cattleya
Trianas. W. P. Harvey, gardener to J.
B. Leeson, received a silver medal for
superior culture of Cymbidium Tracy-
anum, a superb plant in a tub, carrying
fifteen spikes. The carnation and rose
men made no response to the prizes
and medals offered, with the exception
of Eber Holmes, who had a fine vase
of Bichmond roses. W. A. Manda had
a large display of Cattleya Trianse, in-
cluding many good types.
Club Eanquet.
There was an attendance of about 300
at the annual club banquet in Horti-
cultural-hall, February 28. The tables
were beautifully decorated with roses,
carnations, sweet peas and other flowers,
also flowering plants in pots. C. C.
Whittemore catered in his usual effi-
cient manner, the menu being the best
he has ever served. At the postprandial
exercises W. J. Stewart officiated as
toastmaster and the speakers included
Alderman Walter Ballantyne, acting
mayor of Boston, who spoke felici-
tously for the city of Boston. Peter
Fisher responded for the florists; W. N.
Craig for the private gardeners, and C.
W. Parker for the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society. P. M. Miller also spoke.
Miss Eisenhardt played zither. Neill
Miller sang bass solos. Mrs. McKeon
and John Miller sang duets. Miss
Connelly proved an excellent elocu-
tionist and the Misses Nellie and
Jeannie Irvine made a great hit with
their dances. Miss J. S. Eifford offi-
ciated ably at the piano. After the
speechmaking the floor was cleared and
dancing enjoyed until after midnight,
music being furnished by Hutchins'
orchestra, nearly all present joining in
the grand march and circle.
William McGillivray, as floor director,
was in his right place. John Beid was
assistant floor director, while James L.
Miller, W. J. Patterson, Edward Bose
and Kenneth Finlayson acted as aids.
The reception committee consisted of
P. J. Turley, chairman; Duncan Finlay-
son, Frank l^urray, W. A. Hastings, P.
J. Van Baarda, W. D. Nickerson, Eber
Holmes and 'George W. Butterworth.
These Are the Little Liners That Do'theBosiness
Various Notes.
At H. E. Comley's, on Park street,
last week I noted some good waxy
ericas, rambler roses in variety, white
Lselia anceps, Strelitzia Beginae and a
fine vase of John Barr's new white
variegated carnation, Mrs. B. P. Cheney.
Prof. E. A. White, of Amherst, with
a number of floricultural students, spent
two days in Boston and vicinity last
week, visiting the leading growers, re-
tailers and the wholesale flower markets.
W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, states
that double violets with him are bloom-
ing less freely than usual. He picks
30,000 a week, against 50,000 a year
ago. He will follow the violets with
tomatoes.
William Sim has one of his large
sweet pea houses in full crop and will
have two others in before the national
show.
Many of the largest single violet spe-
cialists who grow for our market are
in and around Woburn. Among these
J. H. Newman is one of the best. He
has 30,000 plants and his average daily
pick is 20,000, which are all contracted
for at the retail stores.
The Exeter Bose Conservatories, of
Exeter, N. H., are excellent growers of
Chatenay roses and they have a nice
coppery yellow sport .from it. Their
Bichmond and Killarney are also fine.
David Duncan, of Arlington, has an
extra good variety of bulb stock, both
cut and in pans, which finds a ready
sale at the Boston Cooperative Market.
Paine Bros., of Eandolph, among bulb
specialties have fine Victoria and Sir
Wiatkin narcissi and Couronne d'Or tu-
lips, which sell much better than the
single Thomas Moore. Murillo is a good
seller, also King of the Yellows. In
sweet peas they have F. J. Dolansky,
Christmas Pink, Mrs. Wallace and Flor-
ence Denzer.
Thomas Eoland, of Nahant, has a
magnificent lot of acacias, ericas and
other hard-wooded plants coming on for
the national show, which will prove
something of a revelation to many of
the visitors.
Visitors last week included Maurice
Fuld, representing H. F. Michell Co.,
Phi/adelphia; George W. Strange, rep-
resenting W. A. Manda, and Thomas
Head, of Stumpp & Walter's.
Sidney Hoffman is showing some
beautiful acacias, ericas, genistas, ram-
bler roses and other pot plants at his
big Massachusetts avenue store. He
has his Mount Auburn greenhouses filled
to repletion with stock coming on for

district continues to prosper.
W. N. Craig.
Wtilliam F. Aylward, C Park street,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy. His
liabilities amount to $4,077, assets $600.
BUFFALO.
The Market.
A terrific blizzard, the worst of the
season, struck Buffalo on Valentine's
day and lasted throughout the day.
Traffic was held up and delivery was
hard. From reports and from appear-
ances at the commission house, business
was exceptionally good and everything
was cleaned up early. Violets were the
leader and brought from 75 cents to $1.
Everything sold well; in fact, the to-
tals showed a large increase over for-
mer years. Stock for funeral work
took a jump in price, and an abund-
ance of this sort of work cleaned up
all the available white flowers for the
last week. Eoses are still a little
scarce, as well as the light-colored
carnations. The sale of bulb stock has
surpassed all records this season, per-
haps due to the fact that roses and
carnations have been scarce. Lilies
and valley have been scarce for the
last three weeks.
There was a little brush for Wash-
ington's birthday, but it has just been
steady since. Saturday sales make
things brisk, but as a rule these are
only one form of advertising and can-
not be counted much for the pocket-
book. The temperature makes rapid
and decided changes, and when it does
warm up it is quite pleasant. Satur-
day was an ideal day and violets were
cleaned up early. Bulb stock came
next, as it was offered cheap.
Various Notes.
A fire near the Anderson green-
houses, just noticed in time by the fire-
man and Joe Streit, averted a big loss
to Mr. Anderson and the building ad-
joining. An alarm was sent in and
promptly answered, and for the quick
work which Mr. Streit and the other
man did, the owner gave them each a
$10 gold piece.
The Lenox Flower Shop had a fine
decoration at Ithaca last week and the
force was gone three days, preparing
the work. Large plants and an abund-
ance of cut stock were used.
The snowfall of last week was so
heavy at Akron, N. Y., that its weight
broke down the roofs of the houses at
the establishment of Mrs. Newman.
Considerable damage was done, as it
was impossible to secure protection be-
fore the cold had penetrated to the
stock. The loss was not estimated.
John Preisach, of Corfu, N. Y., is
planning new greenhouses, to replace
the ones he now occupies. Figures
were submitted by the J. C. Moninger
Co., of Chicago. The work will be be-
gun as soon as the weather moderates.
Mr. Preisach is rather a new-comer in
Corfu and was employed by the Will-
iam Scott Co. before starting on his
own account. He has been quite suc-
cessful, as is shown by his plans for
rebuilding.
The Buffalo bowlers will visit Eoches-
ter March 8. It is the intention to
have as many as possible go down and
go early in the day, so as to have a
look around before the games begin.
It will be gratifying to the committee
to have a good showing there, so kindly
plan ahead and come along.
The Buffalo Florists' Club will hold
its annual carnation meeting March 7.
The raisers of new varieties have been
invited to send along the good things.
Bowling.
The Eochester bowlers arrived with-
out a hitch and were escorted to the
Hofbrau, where a fine spread was ar-
ranged for their pleasure. After the
dinner all visitors and members were
taken to the bowling alleys and a lively
and pleasant time followed. The games
were more even than the scores indi-
cate, and the bowlers and spectators
enjoyed every minute of it. The five-
man match resulted as follows:
Buffalo. Ist 2d 3d Ave.
Meubeck 165 191 150 168

As the scores will show, Buffalo won
all three games by a pretty good mar-
gin. The boys then played a two-man
match against two Eochester men, Phil-
lips and Jenny versus McClure and Wal-
lace. This match the Buffalo boys also
won. Then everyone enjoyed some more
fried chicken and green peas. It was a
pleasant meeting and one to be remem-
bered. Eleven came from Eochester
and about thirty turned out for Buffalo.
E. A. S.
DAYTON, OHIO.
The Market.
The long looked for sunshine has at
last graced us with its pleasant smiles,
which are doing wonders everywhere.
Crops are daily becoming more abund-
ant, while trade keeps up at a lively
gait, so that the demand is sufficient to
consume the output. Stock of no kind
has to go begging. While the supply
of bulbous stock is quite heavy, none
of it gets a glimpse of the ash Isarrel.
Trade has kept up remarkably well in
the last ten weeks, so that in many
cases there has not been enough stock
to go the rounds. As a general thing
there is always a great deal of bulbous
stock that does not find a customer, but
such has not been the case this year.
It is surprising to note what a large
quantity of funeral work has been con-
tinually coming in from all directions.
Not in a long time has there been so
great a demand so long continued. With
the few days of sunshine great changes
are noticed in the rose houses. The
seemingly shy rosebuds are coming
along in such condition that it is grati-
fying to the grower to make his rounds
to cut in the morning. The same is true
of the carnations. There are com-
paratively few callas grown; just
enough to supply the demand. Longi-
florum lilies seem to have come to the
front and made callas take a back seat;
the supply of these is always quite
heavy, and the demand equal to the
output.
Taking the weather conditions into
consideration, business throughout the
entire month of February could not
have been better. Everybody appears
to be more than satisfied with results.
Valentine 's day brought quite a demand
for all kinds of stock, especially violets,
valley, red carnations and roses, wMle
the demand for flowers on Washington's
birthday did its share to help along.
Various Notes.
Bernard Haschke and M. Anderson
have been victims of the grip.
Mrs. Warren G. Matthews has been
in the hospital for the last ten days,
where she will have to undergo an
operation.
Harry Garland and wife, of Des
Plaines, 111., included Dayton in their
honeymoon trip and were guests at the
home of George Bartholomew February
24. Wlhile there several of the em-
ployees of the Miami Floral Co. gave
them a musical serenade on tin pans,
etc. Mr. Garland showed himself equal
to the occasion and bought the cigars
for the crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Jones, of Oriskany
Falls, N. Y., who have been the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartholomew for
the last fortnight, left February 27 for
Buffalo, where they will spend a few
days, thence to Eochester, and from
there home.
D. Eusconi, of Cincinnati, and Mr.
Schwake, representing the Chas. F.
Meyer Co., New York, were in town
last week.
Arno Hendrichs left last week for
New Orleans to attend the Mardi Gras.
While in that city he will be the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook.
M. D. Schmidt & Son had some large
funeral orders last week.

OBITUAEY.
Jolin H. Taylor.
John Henry Taylor, one of the best
known florists in the New York district,
who returned from Europe in the best
of health February 22, died suddenly
of bronchitis and tonsilitis at the Hotel
Martinique Saturday night, February 25.
Mr. Taylor was born in 1858, in New
York city. When he was 3 years old
his father moved to Bayside, L. I., and
the family spent seven years there on
an immense estate. Mr. Taylor went to
Europe with his family in 1867 and
spent ten years studying in Switzerland,
Italy and Berlin, entering Harvard on
his return. He was graduated in 1881
with the degree of bachelor of agricul-
tural science, spent some time in Eu-
rope studying floriculture and became
associated with his father when he re-
turned, the two engaging in the nursery
and florists' business. The elder Mr.
Taylor died soon afterward, and John
H. Taylor bought out the interests of
the other heirs in the Oakland Tree
Nursery at Bayside, of which his father
had been the owner. Later he became
one of the largest and most successful
growers of roses and other flowers for
the New York market. In 1883 Mr.
Taylor married Miss Julia Armstrong.
She died ten years ago, and five years
later he married Miss Mary Stow, of
New York. Mr. Taylor maintained the
Oakland Nursery until about six years
ago, when he sold it, the appreciation of
the real estate values in the vicinity
having given him a competence.

As the organizer and first president
of the Oakland Golf Club, Mr. Taylor
gave a part of his estate at Bayside,
which .-was /known as the Oaks, to the
club to ' be uSed as part of tbe course.
He was alSoi one of the organizers of
All Saints' Episcopal Church in Flush-
ing. Besides, he was a member of the
ll[niversity, Lawyers', New York Flo-
rists ', Niantic and New York Athletic
clubs, Cornucopia Lodge, F. and A. M.,
and the New York Horticultural
Society.
Mr. Taylor was a nephew of William
Taylor, proprietor of the St. Denis
Hotel, and a cousin of Charles Leigh
Taylor, proprietor of the Hotel Marti-
nique. He is survived by a widow and
two children of his first wife, Mrs.
Adele A. Manning and Beginald Taylor.
S. J. Galloway.
A report has just been received of the
death of S. J. Galloway, well known
in the trade as a grower of hardy
herbaceous plants and perennials, at
Eaton, O. The funeral services were
held on Sunday afternoon, February 26.
Robert Bodden. ^
Eobert Eodden, a florist in Newton
<'enter, Mass., and a stallholder in the
Boston Cooperative Flower Market, died
suddenly from convulsions February 18.
Mr. EoVlden visited the flower market
in Boston ouly two days before his
<leath. He was, for a number of years
before going into commercial floricul-
ture, gardener on the Schlesinger estate
in Brookline, Mass.
F. K. Phoenix.
Fran\lin Kelsey Phccnix, one of the
pioneer nurserymen of the United
States, died recently at his home in
Delavan, Wis., at the age of 86 years.
He was born in Ferry, Genesee county,
N. Y., in March, 1825. Twelve years
later, in March, 1837, he removed with
his parents to Wisconsinj and in the
spring of 1842 he began his long career
as a nurseryman at Delavan. In 1852
he founded a branch nursery at Bloom-
ington, 111. This new business received
almost his entire attention for twenty-
five years, was developed into a large
establishment and was afterward con-
<lucted for a time by his son, F. S.
Phoenix. In 1877 the elder Mr. Phoenix
withdrew from the Bloomington busi-
ness and, after four years of rest, re-
sumed the management of the Delavan
nursery, with which he continued his
active connection until a few years
before his death.
In 1850 he married Miss M. E. Top-
ping, of Darien, Wis. Of their family
of four sons and two daughters, only
the second son, F. S., already men-
tioned, has taken special interest in
horticultural pursuits.
Hopkinsville, Ky.— T. L. Metcalfe
was painfully, though not seriously in-
jured in a wreck on the Tennessee Cen-
tral railroad, about one mile from
Clarksville, Tenn., February 19. Though
the coaches were destroyed by fire
within seven minutes after the wreck
took place, and though he was cut,
bruised and stunned, he succeeded in
rescuing three others from the flames
before saving himself. Mr. Metcalfe
has greenhouses at Madisonville, Ky.;
Jackson, Tenn.; Clarksville, Tenn., and
Springfield, Tenn., as well as in this
city. He is also proprietor of the Hop-
kinsville Steam Laundry.
Portland, Ore.— S. W. Walter is erect-

secretary of the Tarrytown Horticul-
tural Society, announces that the fall
show of the organization will be held
October 31 to November 2.
Bochester, N. Y. — George J. Morgan,
of 211 Lexington avenue, who formerly
made a specialty of growing salvia,
aster and petunia plants, has sold the
business to David McGregor.
Edlnburg, Ind. — Mrs. Thomas Wood-
ard has been extremely busy this winter
and she is planning to double the
capacity of her place, so as to be able
to meet the increasing demands of her

several years ago was connected with
the trade in Calla, O., has now made
arrangements to engage in the bulb and
plant business at 1339 Logan avenue, in
this city.
Marshalltown, la. — I. 0. Kemble has
purchased four acres of ground known
as the Louis Diesing property, near
the end of North Third street, and ex-
pects to use it eventually for the ex-
tension of his business.
Joplin, Mo.— A friend of H. A. Hall,
of this city, sends the following report:
' ' January 26 was a sad day for Mr.
Hall and his family. The boys were
bringing the cow home after school —
an everyday duty — and, knowing the
cow to be gentle, they tied the rope
around the youngest one's waist. The
cow became frightened and dashed
down the street at full speed, dragging
the youngster to death."
Davenport, la. — ^James W. Davis, who
has been successfully conducting the
establishment formerly known as the
Danacher greenhouses, on upper Brady
street, finds that he is likely to be
crowded out of that locality by the di-
vision of the property into city lots.
He is therefore planning to erect a
range of greenhouses elsewhere, prob-
ably at Bettendorf, near this city,
though at last report he had not fully
decided.
Port Huron, Mich. — Thomas Jowett
has nearly completed his new green-
house.
Smithtown Branch, N. Y. — E. G, Lud-
der announces the arrival of a "new
and only daughter."

De Camp, of 4504 Russell avenue."
Newport, Ky. — Anton Hummel has
purchased the establishment formerly
owned by the late H. D. Edwards, on
Alexandria pike, near Fort Thomas.
The place includes two greenhouses,
close to St. Stephen's cemetery.
Danielson, Conn. — A recent fire on
the property of W. J. Schoonman, the
North street florist, caused a loss
amounting to between $300 and $400,
chiefly in the barn and its contents.
The greenhouses were unharmed.
Albany, N. Y.— W. J. Roberts has re-
sumed the personal management of his
establishment at 259 First street, which
has been leased to others since May,
1907. Prior to that date, Mr. Roberts
had conducted the business for many
years.
Gasport, N. Y.— White Bros, say the
report that they had sold their green-
houses here is incorrect. The range is
still in their possession and will be oper-
ated in connection with a new range
that they expect to build this summer
at Medina, N. Y.
Pittsfield, Mass. — Rudolph Mauers-
berger, who for the last four years has
been gardener and florist at Stoneover,
in Lenox, has leased the greenhouses
and grounds connected with Miss Hall 's
school, on the Holmes road, and will
engage in business for himself.
Bangor, Me.— Mr, and Mrs. A. J.
Loder, who for many years were resi-
dents of Pittsfield, Me., have removed

Mr. Loder will continue to operate his
range of greenhouses at Pittsfield.

New York hospital to his home Feb-
ruary 21. He arrived without sustain-
ing any added injury and is able to
attend to oflice work with the aid of a
pair of crutches. An auto ride home
was an antidote to his hospital ex-
perience.

The Review brings results.
We are in Lent, but Lent in recent
years has had little effect on the flower
business.
Sunshine has come again — and cut
flowers are no longer at all scarce. The
condition is generaLaJl over the country.
Manufactubees of greenhouse build-
ing material report requests for estimates
coming in at a quite unprecedented rate,
probably as a result of the low price of
glass.
Western growers are receiving a great
many inquiries for carnation cuttings
from the east, indicating scarcity there,
for buyers ordinarily look for stock near
home.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
The National Flower Show committee,
under date of February 22, sent out a
call for the payment of eighty per cent
of the guarantee fund, twenty per cent
having previously been called.
The complete schedule for the Na-
tional Flower Show, Boston, March 25
to April 1, has been issued in pamphlet
form. Copies may be had by addressing
Chester I. Campbell, superintendent, 5
Park Square, Boston, Mass.
The telegraph companies now send a
"day letter" of fifty words at half
again as much as the charge for the
popular night letter. Transmission is
at the company's convenience, full rate
messages having precedence.
The florists in the towns where work
has begun on the fall shows are getting
the benefit of a great deal of publicity
in their local newspapers. Columbus, O.,
and Rochester, N, Y., are doing specially
well on the publicity feature.
Reduced rates to the National Flower
Show have now been granted from as
far west as Buffalo. The Central Pas-
senger Association has a meeting March
8 at which it is hoped the special fares
will be made effective from the- Missis-
sippi river and eastward.
BUSNINQ TOBACCO STEMS.
I wish to give others the benefit of
my method of burning tobacco stems in
my greenhouse. I had a tinner make
me some galvanized pig troughs thirty
inches long. I chop the stems into short
pieces, so that they will lie close in the
troughs. Then I set them in the aisles,
filled with stems, and fire them at one
end, using a little coal oil. They will
burn from six to twelve hours, killing
all insects that the fumes will kill, with
the least injury to the flowers.
The iron should be cut nine inches
wide, bent in the middle and turned

LICENSE TO SELL PLANTS.
' The seed dealers throughout the coun-
try have been having quite a little
trouble during the last few years with
bills which propose to regulate the sale
of seeds, but heretofore no legislature
has been suflBciently foolhardy to un-
dertake regulating the sale of geraniums,
roses and other greenhouse plants,,
bulbs, etc. However, a bill just intro-
duced by Senator Chapman in the Iowa
legislature, if passed, would make it
necessary not only for the florist to
take out a $5 license, but he would be
compelled to take out a duplicate
license costing $1 additional for each
employee, including the delivery boys.
He would also have to guarantee each
plant, root and bulb sold to be true to
name, to be free from insects and dis-
ease; to specify whether seedling,,
grafted or budded, and not misrepre-
sent by picture or other means the
stock offered; in other words, every
plant sold must be exactly like the
picture in the catalogue. A state in-
spector would have the right to charge
him $10 per" day for examining his
stock, and apparently would have the
right to confiscate and destroy without
recourse.
Chas. N. Page, of Des Moines, is lead-
ing the fight on the bill, which alt
Iowa florists, nurserymen and seeds-
men hope can be killed in committee.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
A few days of bright sunshine have
had a pronounced effect on the market.
The break in prices occurred in the
later days of last week and the present
week opened with abundant supplies-
and prices much lower than those which
have prevailed since the middle of
January.
While the increase in roses is con-
siderable, prices in this department still
are holding fairly well. The greater
part of the receipts are of the better
grade. There now is an abundance of
the special lengths of Killarney and
other varieties; no orders go unfilled.
Of the shorter lengths the supply still
is less than the demand, though the de-
mand is far from being strong. It has
been six weeks since rose supplies have
been adequate. During that time or-
ders have been cut and prices charged
have seemed high by comparison with
the prices that prevailed during the
last months of 1910. As a result, a
great many buyers have become afraid
to order roses. As in previous in-
stances of the kind, it will take them
a week or two to find out that rose sup-
plies are once more adequate and start
the buyers to ordering freely once
more. Beauties are not in heavy sup-
ply, though several growers say their
crops are nearly ready. The quality of
the special grade of Killarney, White
Killarney, Maryland and Richmond
leaves nothing to be desired; finer roses
seldom have been offered.
The change in the price of carna-
tions is called a slump, it is so radical.
At the first of last week it was impos-
sible to fill orders, but at the first of
the present week it was impossible ta
move all the carnations except by job
lot sales at buyer's prices. Not only
have receipts increased decidedly, but
demand for the small lots has fallen off
and the big buyers have not yet awak-

ened to the fact that they can get stock
at prices that will permit of working
the special sales. Most of the carna-
tions look good, but there is some com-
plaint that they do not travel well.
Every kind of bulbous stock is plenti-
ful and prices have receded. Callas
are much more abundant and the same
may be said of Easter lilies. Sweet
peas have not yet responded to the in-
fluence of more favorable weather, but
increased supplies are expected within
a few days. There are plenty of cat-
tleyas and miscellaneous orchids. Val-
ley is abundant. "Violets are in the
dumps; the singles have been coming
in heavily and. though of fine quality,
have been sold cheaply; the doubles
are not in specially large supply, but
quality of much of the stock is poor
and even the best find only slow sale.
The wholesalers who handle violets ex-
tensively have heavy accumulations on
their hands.
The green goods market is quiet. The
price of ferns was generally advanced
March 1. Asparagus and smilax are
fairly plentiful. Boxwood is moving
better than it has.
February Business.
On the whole, February was an ex-
cellent month for all the houses in this
market. For a good share of the month
roses were not sufficiently plentiful to
meet the demand, but the prices real-
ized went a long way toward compen-
sating for the lightness of production.
At the same time demand was turned
to carnations and other flowers, with
the result that these, and especially

at Boston in' feujficient numbers to war-

for the party to go over the Lake Shore
railroad, leaving Chicago on the time
of the Lake Shore Limited on the eve-
ning of March 23, arriving at Boston
at 8:30 p. m., Friday. The big show
opens Saturday morning. E. F. Winter-
son, 45 Wabash avenue, will book res-
ervations of berths. If enough cars
are filled the Lake Shore people will
run the florists as a second section of
the Limited; otherwise the florists' cars
will be carried on the. Limited itself.

Consequently it is to everyone's ad-
vantage to communicate with Mr. "Win-
terson as soon as he is sure of going.
The Chicago club invites florists west
to join the Chicago party. The route
is through Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and Albany.
St. Louis and Cincinnati parties are ex-
pected to join the train en route and
delegations are expected to be taken on
at each stop.
Various Notes.
John Zech and Matt Mann have put
in a busy winter and are taking a
week's rest at New Orleans, seeing the
Mardi Gras.
Warren S. Garland, at Des Haines,
says this has been the most prosperous
year he ever has had, and circumstances
bear out his statement, for it recently
was reported he was buying material
for two new greenhouses, and it now
develops that he has invested another
part of the surplus in one of the extra
special grade of automobiles.
With the aid of employees and cus-
tomers, C. L. Washburn celebrated his
fifty-third birthday anniversary Febru-
ary 27. A cake with the appropriate
number of candles was cut at the store
during the morning.
Charles Hunt, who is the florists' in-
surance man, recently paid Sam Pearce
$125 sick benefit because of his siege
with rheumatism.
The A. L. Eandall Co. savs the Febru-
ary supply business has run far ahead
of last year. In spite of the fact that
Easter is late, Easter orders are early.
The George W^ttbold Co. had a big
decoration at the Blackstone hotel Feb-
ruary 28 for the McCormick ball.
George Pieser is helping out in Win-
terson 's Seed Store, where they are get-
ting ready for the spring rush. L. H.
Winterson says there is already much
call for carnatjon dye, which they are
this year shipping in cans, disaster hav-
ing overtaken some of last year's ship-
ments in glass.
W. F. Schofield has his new delivery
car on the street.
Weiland & Kisch are not thoroughly
satisfied with the appearance of their
place at Evanston; it looks to them as
though some of the houses should be
double the present length. They are
figuring, but have settled on no plans.
Eobert Northam, of George Rein-
berg's staff, was called home February
27 by word that his little daughter, 5
years old, had caught her hand in a
door jam and been painfully injured.
Sol Garland, at Des Plaines, will
bench 1,000 Washington carnations next
season.
The retailers will mostly stay in their
present locations during the next year.
The principal exception is O. J. I^ed-
man, whose main store on Michigan
avenue has been leased to parties in
another line. Mr. Friedman has not
yet located himself.
The E. C. Amling Co. had a shipping
order for 20,000 sweet peas February

sale of this flower.

The Market,
Funeral work lately has used up an
immense lot of stock. While the cuts
have been heavy, stock has been used
up closely from day to day, and there
really has been no surplus of anything
in the flovirer line. The bright weather
we have had for a day or two has been
welcome, indeed, as we have had a great
deal of cloudy weather in the month of
February, and it has had a tendency to
curtail the quantity of stock in the
market. Bulbous stock has been in good
supply and demand has been heavy for
pans of hyacinths, tulips and all stock

The Columbus Florists* Association
held a meeting in the convention parlor
of the Chittenden hotel, with abont
sixty members present, to talk over the
flower show for this fall. There was "a
fine lot of new roses sent from A. N.
Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., including the
following varieties: Kose-pink Killar-
ney, Prince de Bulgarie, Badiance, Lady^
Cromwell. Mr. Jackson, of the Ameri-
can Rose & Plant Co., was on hand
with some samples of Roosevelt fern,
which were in splendid condition. The
following committees were appointed to
look after show matters: Finance com-
mittee, G. H. Woodrow, Frank Miller
and W, H. Kropp; advertising commit-
tee, J. Underwood, Wm. Metzmaier and
Geo. Thompson; arrangement commit-
tee, F. C. Verrick, Wm. Underwood and
A. Gampe; decorations committee, P.
Brownwell, R. A. Currie and R. Buehler;
amusement committee, I. D. Seibert, C.
A. Roth and O. Grice. There was a
great deal of enthusiasm shown at this
meeting, and the guarantee fund reaches
about $1,200 at the present time. It
was decided to hold a meeting in Brent
h^U the last Friday night of each
month, and as the meeting will be in
the dance hall, the ladies will be invited
in the near future. Frank Good, of
Springfield, 0., was at the meeting and
gave us quite a nice talk. Wm. A.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Rising Eastern Market.
The close of the pre-lenten season has
been quiet; there was not the rush that
sometimes marks a short season, due
partly to the fact that there has been
plenty of opportunity for entertaining,
with no necessity for crowding many
parties into the last few days, and
partly owing to the coming of spring.
The sun, for so long almost unknown,
has been with us once more; the
' weather is milder and is bringing for-
ward the crops rapidly. Roses, carna-
tions, violets and sweet peas are in
heavier supply. There is not enough
business to maintain the prices in the
face of the increased receipts. Lower
figures are recorded on all grades of
carnations, on the shorter grades of
roses and on sweet peas. Violets have
also receded.
There has been an excellent demand
for Beauties, the crops of which are
short. Fancy grades of other roses
also have sold well. Valley has been
rather irregular in supply, the market
failing to absorb., the unexpectedly
heavy shipments receipted on several
days. A decided preference is shown
for Cattleya Trianae, which holds its'
price, over Cattleya Schroederiana,
which has to be shaded in price to sell.
Gardenias are in good demand. Callas
and Easter lilies have sold well, par-
ticularly the former, but the buyers are
loudly demanding lower rates for Lent.
Daffodils continue to lead the bulbous
stock, with tulips a good second. Prices
are receding, due partly to conditions
and partly, it is whispered, to the first
shipments of the southern product.
Greens have been selling exception-
ally well, particularly Asparagus plu-
mosus sprays in bunches. Mexican ivy,
leucothoe and dagger ferns have been
in good demand.

Spring weather, increasing shipments
and the beginning of Lent have all
proved adverse influences. Prices are
receding and before the end of the
week there probably will be enougb
and to spare of everything. If there
is a shortage of anything it is in the
highest grade of American Beauties.
Carnations are abundant and 3 cents
was top for all but the specialties Feb-
ruary 27. Orchids hold at 50 cents, but
there is no shortage. Lilies and valley
hold at last week's quotations and gar-
denias lose none of their popularity,
the selected stock holding steadily at
$5 per dozen. There is no lack of sweet
peas, with a wide range in quality and
length of stem. For violets 50 cents
per hundred is the top price, and likely
to be during the forty days of Lent.
Bulbous stock is never scarce and prices
have been unsatisfactory to the grow-
ers. Soon the southern daffodils will be
here, and already the robins and the
budding trees are harbingers of an early
spring. A visit to any of the seeds-
men's headquarters emphasizes this
most practically, for already every one
of them is busy with fast accumulat-
ing orders.

Dear Sirs: — Eeplying to your letter of the 21st, in which you request me to
advise you as to the results of my trials with your Fungine, I have not had an oppor-
tunity of testing its merits on mildew, but I can, however, unqualifiedly recommend
it as being a very effective remedy for carnation rust. I brought in some new car-
nations some time ago that were in a bad state with rust; on their arrival their
leaves were completely covered, and after two applications, at proportions of one part
Fungine to forty parts water, I found it had the desired effect. For this reason I
gladly endorse it. / Yours very truly, THOMAS PEOOTOE.

Dear Sirs: — In reply to^^urs of the 21st inst., I would say that my experience
with Fungine for mildewc^-Ms been very satisfactory. I think it is much better and
easier than the old way of dusting the plants and painting steam pipes.
The first time I used it I was rather disappointed, as it turned the woodwork in
the houses^ wherever the spray hit it, a dir ty yellow, but this all disappeared la a
few days.
I have not tried it for rust, but cannot see why Fungine is not going to be to the
florists and gardeners what the lime and sulphur wash is to the pomologists.
For black, green and white fly, mealy bug and thrips, I have not used any-
thing this season but Aphine. The greenhouses have not been fumigated and
plants are in a fine healthy condition. Yours respectfully,

Aphine Manufacturing Company, Madison, N. J.
Gentlemen: — Concerning the Fungine: we may say that we have not had much
occasion to use it; however, we had one delightful experience with it. We had quite
a few thousand chrysanthemum cuttings inserted in old sand which had been left in
one of our cold houses. As our propagator is accustomed to do, he saturated the sand
and kept the cuttings very wet, which caused rot and fungus. The writer, noticing
this apparent loss, went for the Fungine purchased from you. We used it one part
to twenty-five parts water and sprayed the entire lot of dampened and partly rotted
cuttings, thinking that these cuttings (of which there were several thousand) might
as well die one way as another, but to our great surprise these cuttings after the
single application, a thorough one at that, turned the cuttings to a light green color
and seemed to extract the fungus, which sort of foamed up and separated from the
decay (similar to peroxide on a healing wound).
Now these cuttings at this writing have nearly all made good healthy roots,
although a few cuttings rotted in the sand but made roots above the decayed part,
which seems remarkable to us. It is not necessary to say that for this experience
alone we are highly pleased with the results obtained with Fungine used as above,
which is far more than we had ever expected.
We beg to take the liberty to state that Aphine does all it is recommended to do
in a very satisfactory manner. Yours very truly,

Fritz Bahr says in his article on Lilies in the Florists' Exchange of Feb. 18, 1911:
"We have given our lilies a weak dose of Aphine once a week since they have
occupied space on top of the bench, and thus far we haven't noticed even a trace of
the pests; 'that ought to prove that green flies are not very fond of the stuff, for if
there's anything they do like it is to get into the tops of the lilies, and it takes an
awful lot of coaxing to get them out."

The Market.
Conditions all around last week were
a great improvement over those of the
preceding week. With plenty of sun
throughout the week, the supply was
greatly increased and the demand kept
pace, thus keeping the entire market m
a wholesome condition.
Various Notes.
The bowling tournament which was
to have taken place between the Flo-
rists' Bowling League and the Odonahas
March 1 was postponed indefinitely.
Great interest by local florists is de-
veloping since the news spread that
March 19 a delegation of Chicago flo-
rists will come to challenge the Mil-
waukee florists in a bowling match.
Gust. Kusch, captain of the local
bowlers, no doubt will leave no stone
unturned to make their stay a most
enjoyable one.
Eichard Leitz is contemplating an
addition to his store at Fourteenth and
Walnut streets, in the form of a con-
servatory. E. O.
THE BOSKOOP EXHIBITION.
The preparations for the exhibition
of forced shrubs and perennials, to be
held in Boskoop, Holland, in April of
this year, are well advanced s^nd ap-
pear to be even more thorough and
comprehensive than at first expected
The press committee, of which C. H.
Claassen is president and C. P. Moer-
lands, secretary, has sent the following
report of recent progress:
"The buildings for the exhibition
are almost finished. They will be
heated free of charge by the Dutch
Central Heating Co., of Amsterdam,
and will be illuminated in the evening
by electric light, installed by the firm
of Strous, of Dordrecht. In the exhibi-
tion grounds there will be a postoffice
and telegraph office, and every hour
a passenger boat will run between
Boskoop and Gouda, the nearest rail-
way station.
"The honorary committee consists of
forty members. The number of exhib-
its promised amounts to 500, the num-
ber of novelties to more than a hun-
dred, and that of little known plants
to sixty. All these facts show that the
exhibition will in every way surpass
expectations."

ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help^
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.

for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city
represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other ftcBists. If you are not
represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of tibese desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion.

Tlie Market.
Business during the last week has
shown a decided general improvement,
which, with warmer, clearer weather,
has made the period more seasonable
than for some time previously. The
supply of all kinds of cut flowers has
been much improved, so that there was
a slight falling oflE in prices. Two of
the largest funerals that have been held
in this city in many months, so far as
decorations of an expensive character
are concerned, with the usual number of
Washington's birthday functions, made
the week one of considerable activity.
On all sides the growers are busily en-
gaged in preparations for Easter, and it
is expected that the supply will exceed
that of previous years.

B. Luther, of this city; William B.
King, of Apponaug, and Aldimor Chous-
nard, of Central Falls, were elected to
active membership. A communication
was received from the State Grange,
asking the society to appoint a commit-
tee to confer with the other agricul-
tural and horticultural associations of
the state relative to the establishment
of a permanent home for the holding of
the meetings of these organizations,
which was laid on the table for the spe-
cial order at the next meeting.
The treasurer's report showed that
the society is in a flourishing condition.
An effort is to be made to recruit the
membership of the association so as
to in^^ude the names of all the florists
and gardeners throughout the state.
On the president's table were ex-
hibited three large bunches of roses
from the J. A. Budlong & Son Co., at
Auburn, including one vase each of
Richmond, My Maryland and Killarney,
which elicited favorable comment.
Various Notes.
At the meeting of the Newport Hor-
ticultural Society, February 14, Walter
Edmund Eglington, of London, Eng-
land, read an interesting paper on
orchid growing. Mr. Eglington was for
a number of years in the employ of
William Bull & Sons, one of the great-
est firms of orchid growers in the world,
who in three years raised about 30,000
seedlings.

The Weekly Florists' Review.
March 2, 1911.
Seed Trade News.
AMKBICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.
Prea., E.L.Pagre.GreeDe.N.Y.; First Vlce-pres..
L. H. VauRhan, Chicago; Pec'y and Treas., C. E.
Kendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty-ninth annual
meeting, Milwaukee, Wis., June 20 to 22, 1911.
Now for the rush, and the night work
— March is here!
The Lompoc Seed Growers' Associa-
tion, Lompoc, Cal., will erect a fireproof
warehouse 75 x 300.
The residence of the late E. V. Hal-
lock, Floral Park, N, Y., was practically-
destroyed by fire February 19. Since the
death of the seedsman it had been used
as a boarding house.
Febeuary always brings bad weather
to some, if not all, sections of the coun-
try, BO the failure of mail orders to
assume hoped for volume can not be
laid wholly to the storms.
The Amzi Godden Seed Co., Birming-
ham, Ala., which was established in 1857,
is this season doing the largest business
in its history, in a new building with
40,000 square feet of floor space.
The residence of Mrs. Alice 0. Tur-
geon, secretary of the Missouri Seed Co.,
Kansas City, was burglarized February
17. Several days later it was discovered
that $500 worth of jewelry was missing.
.J. W. Jung Seed Co.. Randolph, Wis.,
recently mailed its 1911 catalogue, typed,
printed and bound on the place. Mr.
Jung believes this is the only American
seed catalogue manufactured complete on
the same farm where most of the seeds
it lists are grown.
March starts out with the seed trade
on about the normal basis. There must
be some increase from year to year. Mail
orders are coming in at about the usual
rate. Counter trade is more affected by
local weather conditions; it has hardly
made a start at most points.
In the Iowa legislature a bill has been
introduced requiring that a license be
obtained to sell nursery stock, green-
house plants or seeds, and that every
employee dealing with the public carry
a duplicate of the license. The text of
the bill will be found on page 64.
The Taylor Farmers' Institute, of
Taylor, Tex., has decided to circulate
a petition for the introduction of a pure
seed bill in their state legislature. Such
action is necessary, the members of the
institute state, because the pure seed
laws already existing in many of the
northern and eastern states have caused
Texas to become a "dumping ground
for impure, pest-infested seed."
The mail order seed trade for Feb-
ruary turned out about on a par with
that of January — good, but nothing
to brag about. Tho absence of a
record-breaking demand has been a keen
disappointment to a number of houses,
for it is difficult to break records during
the rush months ; the increases are easiest
handled and are most apparent if they

to, but rather encouraged the general
idea of legislation to insure purity of

against the feature that eliminates the

dealers, any kind of seed, whether
tested or not, and irrespective of any
percentage of noxious weed seed which
it may contain.

GARDEN SEEDS ARE "PUEE."
The reasons for omitting garden
seeds from all pure seed legislation
scarcely could have been better put
than was done by Kirby B. White,
secretary of D, M. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
when he appeared before Mr. Mann's
committee at Washington recently. Mr.
White said in part:
"All of the objects to be covered by
any seed legislation that anybody ever
wanted are comprehended under three
heads — to prevent the spread of weeds,
to see that the purchaser gets the kind
of thing he supposes he buys, and to
see that the seeds that he buys are
alive and not dead! There is not any-
thing else in the whole field of seed
legislation that anybody ever aimed at.
"Now, with regard to the spread of
weeds. As the gentleman who preceded
me said, weeds do not come in garden
seeds, from the nature of the case, be-
cause garden seeds are grown under a
high state of cultivation. The people
who produce garden seeds in France,
Germany, Holland, and all over Europe,
and in California, grow them in gar-
dens, and it is to their financial inter-
ests to see that weeds are kept down.
Those seeds are harvested by pains-
taking labor, by hand, as a rule, and
weeds do not have an opportunity to
get in. In the main, then, and except
in very extraordinary cases, weeds do
not appear in garden seeds at all.
Hence there is no need for any legis-
lation to keep garden seed clean of
weeds.
"The next point is that the pur-
chaser is expected to get what he buys.
In our own practice it is very rare in-
deed that he does not get the -variety
which he supposes he buys. It is true
sometimes that the variety which he
buys does not come up to the descrip-
tion given in the catalogue. For in-
stance, when Luther Burbank intro-
duced the wonderberry, and it was sold
under glaring advertisements, I do not
think anybody charged that when a
man bought wonderberry of Mr. Bur-
bank, through his representatives, he

people again. Now, does it not appeal
to your sense of commerce that it is
better for us to sell these people, as we
have for three generations, what the
goods are represented to be, than to
find a new set of suckers every year—
if you will excuse that word; I forgot
myself. It is a fact that it is to our
commercial interest, laying aside all
matters of honor, to satisfy these peo-
ple with what they get. In practice,
the only time that I know of in any
seedsman's business that the purchaser
does not get exactly what is repre-
sented as to the variety is when, by
some error, a wrong bag gets in; that
is, when a packet of some other variety
eets into the packet of the variety
which is being filled; and we prevent
that, as far as possible, and no amount
of legislation could make us any more
careful than we are.
"This brings me down to the third
point, and the thing on which I think
you are probably most insistent, and
that is, that the seeds which a man
buys shall be alive and not dead. It
would seem this was a matter which
meant the most careful protection to
the buyer. As a matter of fact, it is
not true that the purchaser of garden
seed needs any federal protection, or
any state protection, as to the via-
bilitv of the seeds he buys. As a mat-
ter of fact, ninety-eight per cent of all
the garden seeds sold are represented
by the association which is here repre-
sented; ninety-eight per cent of all the
garden seeds sold in this country are
represented here. In our business we
have practically no complaint of the
viability of the seeds we sell. As a
matter of fact the seeds grow, but the
value of seeds does not depend upon
the viability; it depends more upon the
quality of the product. It is just the
same as it is with cows. A thorough-
bred cow is no more alive than a runt.
But the amount of butter fat that that
cow will produce may be three times as
great. The value is not in the viability
so much as in whether or not it is
thoroughbred seed, and frequently thor-
oughbred seed does not test as much as
seed of poorer quality and much higher
viability. The highest viability comes
in the wild stuff. That is a point in
biology that you can not get around.
"I should like to adduce, as evidence
that a purchaser needs no protection,
not onlv the fact that we, as seedsmen,
have very little complaint of viability,
but a circular published by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Bulletin No. 131,
part 1, on the germination of vegetable
seed. That bulletin was published in
March, 1908, so it is comparatively re-
cent. In that bulletin there are tabu-
lated twenty-seven diflferent kinds of
seed — the ordinary kinds of seed — and
that represents the viability tests of
the Department of Agriculture on twen-
ty-seven different packeting houses, rep-
resenting practically all the seeds that
are sold in packets, and I think no one
will claim that the viability of seeds sold
by the pound or ounce is less than the
viability of seeds sold by the packet.

The average of all the viabilities for
each kind is reached. For the twenty-
seven different kinds — and, as it
chances, the twenty-seven different
packet houses — the average number of
plants of all kinds which a purchaser
would get for 5 cents, putting the seed
up in the quantity in which most of
the seeds are put up, is 923 plants for a
nickel. Of that average the lowest is
represented by watermelon. The aver-
age viability of watermelon sent out
by all these houses is sixty-four. Ther^

Nunaerous readers of The Review
will recognize this as a popular
novelty of laat year. Many Flo-
rists claim they got more flowers,
larger blooms and longer stems
than they could grow of other
early kinds, because it grows as
vigorously and yields as abundant-
ly as many of the Late Asters.
The flowers are solid, ball shaped
and considerably above the aver-
age in size. A medium early
variety wliich has been a money
maker wherever tried. Two col-
ors: White and Lavender Pink.

would get out of a packet of seeds of
rutabaga was 2,212; the average num-
ber of sprouts of lettuce was 2,250. I
submit to you, gentlemen, that there is
no practical need for protecting the
buyer on the viabilitv of commissioned
packets as sold.
"There is not only no need of pro-
tecting the buyer of vegetable packets
with regard to weed seeds and to see
that the purchaser gets what he sup-
poses he buys, or protect him to see
that the seeds are alive, but I very
much doubt if you constitutional law-
yers here would want to legislate on
this question anyway, because if you
did so you would be holding the seller
of seeds responsible for the operation
of a natural law which he can not con-
trol and of the actions of which he
even does not know infallibly. The
association of seed analysts here repre-
sented will tell you that there are no
two experiment stations in the United
States which infallibly get the same re-
sult at the same time as to the viability
of a given lot of seed.
"If legislation were needed, if you
were going to legislate, if there were a
practical demand for it and it were
needed, on the subject of viability,
would you want a federal law to pro-
tect the purchaser in the quality of the
stuff that he bought, or would you leave
that, supposing that a law were needed,
to the states? I ask you, is there any
case of the Congress of the United
States passing a law to see that the
purchaser receives his money's worth
when he buys a commodity which does
not affect his health? We all applauded
and we all rejoiced over the pure-food
law. The difference is right here.
When a man buys food that is adulter-
ated he poisons himself; when a man
buys seed, supposing there were such a
case, which was not as much as it
ought to be, his pocket only is affected.
Is Congress ready to embark on the
field of federal regulation with regard
to saying that the purchaser of every
5-cent packet of seeds, or every $2 pair
of shoes, or every ice-cream freezer, or
anything of that kind, shall get his
money's worth?"

for these conditions doubtless rests
fully as much with the mass of con-
sumers who demand low priced seed as
with the dealers who cater to this de-
mand. The trade has employed various
means to meet the demand for low
priced seed. Large importations are
made of the same kinds of seed which
are produced in and are exported from
this country. The imported seed can
be sold cheaper than that which is ex-
ported. Grades of seed which are prac-
tically unsalable in Europe find a ready
market here because the better Amer-
ican grown seed is commonly consid-
ered too high priced. Various forms
of seed adulteration have long been
practiced, and seed ill adapted to our
climatic conditions has often been sold.
The results have been frequent failure
of crops, an excessive cost of the act-
ually good seed, and a wider distribu-
tion of many kinds of foreign weeds
than by any other means. A general
understanding of these conditions as
they relate to particular kinds of seeds
is helpful in making tests."

ULIES FOB MUMOBIAI. DAY.
I should like to know when to bring
Lilium giganteum into heat to have
them in bloom for Memorial day.
J. E. S.
Giganteum lilies should be placed in a
brisk heat at once for Easter, as the
buds should show early in March. For
Memorial day the plants should at pres-
ent be in a tr-mperature of 45 to 50 de-
grees, and if the shoots push through
the pots by the middle of March they
will be on time, if given a night tem-
perature of t)0 to 65 degrees. You want
to see the buds separated thirty-five
days before Memorial day. Gigantenms
like warm treatment right along, when
once they are well started. C. W.
He was so stingy that he
used the mole on the back of
his neck to save a collar-
button. His soul -cry was
price, price, price! He held
the cent so close to his eye >
that he couldn't see the dol-
lar behind it. So he bought
the cheapest lily bulbs in the
market. Now he has the
most constipated-looking lot
of lilies you ever saw in your ^
life. He blames the bulbs,
of course, and he is right,
but he has forgotten what he
paid.
He can cuss now until he
gets ankylosis of the jaw-
bone and it won't help mat-
ters a bit. He got just what
he paid for, and he's it.
It is better to buy Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum than
to wish you had. They are
the best marketed that we
know of and have averaged
the best returns of any brand
in the world.

INDOOB BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
Can Brussels sprouts be successfully
grown in a greenhouse with a day tem-
perature of 60 to 70 degrees and a night
temperature of 40 to 50 degrees? How
long should the crop take to mature?
My plants are making a vigorous
growth, but have shown no signs of
sprouts. They are fifteen or eighteen
inches high, strong, healthy^ and have
large leaves. I am located m southern
Wisconsin! J. R. M.
I have never had any experience with
Brussels sprouts in the greenhouse. I
am sure, however, that vour tempera-
ture is about right, as they belong to
the cabbage family and like a lettuce
temperature. I think the reason that
they have not shown any signs of
sprouts is that they are not old enough.
Outside they are not an early vegetable,
by any means, and you will no doubt
get a crop later, but I fear they will
not be a paying crop, on account of
the southern outdoor-grown article be-
ing on the market by that time.

NEW YORK GROWERS ORQANIZE.
The vegetable growers of New York
state convened at the College of Agri-
culture, at Ithaca, February 22, and de-
cided to organize a state association.
A committee was appointed on that
day to formulate a constitution and
by-laws, and report the following day.
This program was carried out and
the constitution and by-laws were
adopted, officers were elected, commit-
tees appointed, and the association is
now a full-fledged organization of the
state, ready to do business. The object
of the association is stated as follows:
Article II. The object of this association shall
be to organize and federate the Interests of those
engaged in vegetable growing, to the end that
larger crops of constantly improving quality may
be grown and marketed with Increased profit.
The constitution provides for the fol-
lowing committees:

ANNOONCEMENT
- . Findlay, O., February 27, 1911.
TO THE TRADE:
I am getting things In shape for one of the biggest stocks of vegetable
plants that I have ever grown for the wholesale trade. Last season I was fully
300,000 short, but my greenhouses for this year are under new management,
Mr. Arthur Marshall, of Columbus Grove, having full charge of them. Eighty
bushels of sweet potatoes will be put down for plants, which will be ready to
ship first week in May. My tomato seed was saved from the very choicest
stock and I know the plants will give entire satisfaction. We shall grow a
large stock of peppers, eggplant, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, tomato plants
and asters. A full list will be published in the Florists' Review for the month
of April. Don't fail to read it. Mr. Marshall will book your ovMtt, large or
small, for anything in the plant line and ship when wanted. (3?^. '

Wonderful Fall Bearing
STRAWBERRY PLANTS
mm-)
I.. J.
Fruit in Fall of first year and in Spring; and Fall of second year. Better than
a Klondike Gold Mine. From 500 plants set in Spring of 1910 we picked, from
Aug. 30th to Nov. i2tb, nearly 400 quarts, which sold at 40c to 50c a quart,
netting us over J200 to the acre. We have the largest stock in the world of
"Francis." "Amencus," "Productive," and"Superb," the four best varie-
ties; also "Autumn" and "Pan-American." Now is the time to order these
plants before everybody begins to grow them. Do not invest in seeds or
plants of French or other worthless varieties. We are also headquarters for
plants of "Norwood" and "Early Ozark" Strawberries; "Plum Farmer,"
"Idaho" and "Royal Purple" Raspberries, and all other valuable varieties of
Berry Plants, Grapes, Currants, Gooseberries, Asparagus, Roses, "Hastings"
Potatoes, etc. 38 years of experience. Catalogue free.

PACIFIC COAST.
PORTLAND, OBE.
The Market.
Business of the last week was varied.
Funeral work was the principal item,
and of the variety that called for the
best grade of stock. With a few days
of sunshine wonders have been wrought
in bringing out the flowers. Carnations
are almost perfection, and the best sell-
ing commodity on the market. Home-
grown violets are coming in nicely and
gradually are displacing California
stock. Spring flowers, such as hyacinths,
tulips and daffodils, are used principally
in table decorations.
With the advance of spring the cata-
logue departments are unusually busy,
which necessitates additional help. St.
Johns, a suburb of Portland, designated
Washington's birthday as the official
rose planting day, with a celebration,
music and speech-making.
Various Notes. .
Henry Penn, of Boston, who is on an
extended western trip, was greatly en-
thused over the thrift of the cities of
the northwest.
Sam B cake is confined at home on ac-
count of sickness, but shows a steady
improvement.
Clarke Br68. had an unusual day last
week, when they were called on for
two casket covers, one of violets and
the other of carnations and lilies.
Martin & Forbes had a large decora-
tion countermanded, at the last moment,
on account of a death in the family,
after all stock had been secured, in-
cluding 1,000 strings of smilax. This is
an unpleasantness that the florist is
often called upon to bear. E. E. C.
SAN FBANCISCO.
The Market.
The weather has moderated some-
what in this vicinity and, although the
nights are a bit frosty, the days are
quite warm. The effect is noticeable
in the amount of stock being brought
into town, and with a continuance of
the sunshine we may look for plenty
of blossoms in the near future. The
prices, too, are considerably lower than
those in vogue a few days ago. Carna-
tions are cheaper by fully twenty per
cent, and roses show an inclination
along the same lines.
Violets are rather plentiful again,
but the quality is commencing to show
the lateness of the season, and with the
advent of warmer weather they will be
more flabby and of poorer color than
they are now. Valley is in fair supply,
of good color and form, and moves well.
Easter lilies, from all appearances, will
be in suflicient quantity to fill all re-
quirements. Tulips are not selling as
well as some of the growers would like.
Daffodils seem to be a shade scarcer.
They are in good demand at from $1
to $2.50 per hundred. Fruit blossoms
are not yet in their prime, but the' pub-
lic seems not to tire of them and they
will be as popular as of old. Maidenhair
ferns, both the greenhouse stock and
the wild sorts, are not overplentiful,
and smilax is quite a scarce article.
Other kinds of stock are as usual.
New Red Dahlia
Mrs. Minna Burgle
A cross between Joe Thomson and Clown,
oritrinuted by Mr. J. Burgle of fruitvale, Cal.,
and naiued after his wife, Mrs. Minna Burgle, is
the best Red Detorative Dahlia ever produced
and will supersede all other red varieties now
grown for cut flowers here or abroad. It draws
your attention instantly when planted in a col-
lection of Dahlias, for it is one of the most showy
flowers ever created. True decorative, blight
scarlet, showing a darker shading in center, bold
erect flowers. 6 to 8 inches in diam> ter, with ex-
cellent stem, foliage of remarkable substance,
height 6 to 6 feet, good keeper and will not bum
in hot weather, and is a freer bloomer than either
parent. This variety has been tested by me for
three yearx and has shown no weak points.
A vase of 50 blooms shown t>y me, also a basket
of them exhibited by Sievers Floral Co., of San
Francisco, both carried first prizes in the fall
Flower Show in San Francisco, and caused more
comment among gardeners and visitors than any
other exhibit. Cut flowers sold for the tlrst time
last year brought 50 per cent more than any other
vaiiety of dahlias, including Joe Thomson.

J. H. Bhoades, for over twenty years

Adolph Johnson, formerly with the

trade at Eel Eiver, Humboldt county,

CROWEANUMS IN CALIFORNIA.
This winter I purchased 350 10-inch
Croweanum ferns, which had producad-
beautifully last summer, but which
were kept in a rather cool house until
January of this year, when I got them.
They are doing absolutely nothing now,
owing to the cold they suffered, and I
learned from their former owner that
they always go down in winter in his
cold houses, in which the temperature
averages anywhere from 35 to 55 de-
grees at night, and yet they produce
finely in summer. Now, I should In
grateful if you would tell me whether
the Croweanum fern is a winter pro-
ducer or not, when kept at a tempera-
ture of, say, 60 degrees at night. Ferns
with us, in the .vicinity o^ San Fran-
cisco, are worthless unless they produce
well in >yinter. Has your experience
been such as to lead you to believe
that the Croweanum will do anything
to repay the cost of heating in winter?
And if so, how amply? Can you ad-
vise me of whom I can get a catalogue
of ferns for cutting and also decora-
tive? L. M. B.
The fact that the Adiantum Crowea-
num ferns were in 10-inch pots would
lead one to presume that they were
three or four years old, at least, and
it could hardly be expected that such
plants, even under the best of treat-
ment, would bear fronds heavily again
in winter without dividing them, for
this is the only way they can be propa-
gated. They should never be kept over
three seasons in the same soil, and
when divided they should be well
broken up and planted in pots or in
solid benches, preferably the latter
when the object is to grow for cutting.
It is out of the question to expect to
get a crop of fronds in the winter
from plants that have borne heavily
all summer, as this particular lot is
said to have done. A. Croweanum is
a good winter fern, provided the {slants
have not been forced too much in the
previous summer. Like almost every-
thing else, they must have a rest. This
does not consist, with this variety, in
letting the plants dry out too much,
but in keeping the house cool and not
shading too heavily.
For winter forcing a temperature of
~60 degrees at night is imperative, but

the heat should not be concentrated
under the benches, as, in common with
most varieties, better results will be
had when the radiation comes from
above rather than below the roots. A.
Croweanum produces, under proper con-
ditions, quantities of long, heavy
fronds all winter, which always find a
good market at top prices. To obtain
these results the soil must be right. It
can be grown in rather stiflf loam, pro-
vided the drainage is good. Plant
about one foot apart each way, and see
that they have about six inches of soil
■to grow in. See that they are not
chilled with too frequent waterings
over the foliage. Use air-slaked lime
freely to keep down slugs and sweeten
the soil. Liquid manure can be used
occasionally and is of great benefit
when extra heavy fronds are desired.

The death of F. K. Phoenix, pioneer
ulirseryman of Delavan, Wis., is re-
ported in this week's obituary column.
The return of cold weather to the
southeast and southwest last week caused
some alarm among nurserymen of those
sections.
The Waco Nursery Co. has been in-
corporated at Waco, Tex., with a capital
■took of $32,500. The incorporators are
Sam Sanger, T. A. Goldstein, F. S.
Henry and others.
W. C. Babry, Eochester, delivered an
address on "How to Grow Hardy Roses"
before the Syracuse Eose Society Feb-
ruary 21. In reporting it one of the
Eochester papers made it "Hardly"
roses.
Nueseetmen in the west and north-
west apparently are confident that the
demand for apple trees will continue, as
preparations are being made for a sup-
ply that would prove burdensome if the
boom should burst.
Down in Texas and Oklahoma, where
spring is weeks ahead of its arrival in
other sections, the nursery interests have
been too busy to make any complaint
over the conditions, which have not all
been in their favor.
INIMICAI. BILI. IN IOWA.
One of the most objectionable bills
recently introduced in any state legis-
lature is now before the Senate Commit-
tee on Horticulture in Iowa. It concerns
the florists and seedsmen as well as the
nurserymen, but it bears specially on
the tree dealers, W^o have agents in
every hamlet. The text of the bill is:

Outclasses everything^ heretofore gprown in the dark pink section. Won first honors in the 100 class for

It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even shmle, size 3^ inches, an early and continuous bloomer, brings fully 25
per cent more flowers to the plant than Lawson at its best ; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems ; calyx does not split.
It is a good shipper, and the cuttings root easy.
While with most carnations early cutting^s are desirable, this is not so much the case w^ith Brig^ht

THE IMPROVED CANNA
"UNCLE SAT
is one of our Improved Cannaa that the Florists
in every state in the Union ought to know
about. It is a magnificent variety for parks —
or big beds anywhere. Very stately in appear-
ance with enormous bunches of brilliant Orange
Scarlet flowers ; height, 6 to 7 feet and magnifi-
cent every way.
A bed of 'Uncle Sam" Cannas graced the
White House grounds at Washington recently
and was the admiration of its distinguished
guests.
The Royal Horticultural Society of England
thought so much of it that they crowned it with
an award of merit at their great International
Trial of Canna Lilies.
' We have a thousand good strong roots of
"Uncle Sam" and will accept orders of not
more than 100 to any one patron, f. o. 1). here,
at $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per 100
It ought to be in every first-class list published.
Please rememl>er that every one of these
Cannas we have been talking about were orig-
inated by our Vice-President, Mr. Wintzer, on
our grounds here at West Grove.

for such superior sorts? W>ite for our list.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Business has been quite satisfactory.
The weather continues warm, with nu-
merous cloudy days, but stock, with
the exception of roses, is plentiful.
Bulbous flowers are more numerous
than at any time this season and are
meeting with good demand. Violets
and sweet peas are selling well. Easter
lilies are scarce, as are roses, the latter
holding top-notch prices.
Various Notes.
The Pahud Floral Co. is figuring on
tearing down four houses and putting
up modern houses in their place this
year.
Both Bertermann Bros, and A. Wie-
gand & Sons had a busy week on ac-
count of the auto show. Every avail-
able palm and bay tree was used in the
decorations of the various automobile
display rooms.
A. "W. Marshall, formerly with the
Fahud Floral Co., has taken a position
with A. WSegand & Sons. Carl Groener,
formerly with the latter fimi, has de-
parted for Portland, Ore.
The Smith & Young Co. has been
cutting some fine sweet peas, but the
orchid crop is off at present.
B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, has
been shipping in quantities of carna-
tions.
Peter Weiland, of New Castle, was
a visitor last week. Mr. Weiland was
inspecting the cement benches and gut-
ters at the Smith & Young place. He
is erecting a range of ten houses at
New Castle and expects to open a com-
mission house here this fall. Other vis-
itors were H. Knickman, of MeHutchi-
son & Co., New York city; H. S. Gar-
land, of the Geo. M. Garland Co., Des
Plaines, 111.

Carnation Norwood
This variety has been grown by us for four years and has proven to be the
best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about 3% inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial
variety. Rooted cuttingfs (immediate delivery), $10.00 per 100;
$76.00 per 1000.
It will pay every Carnation Grower to plant this variety-
there' s money in it.

FINDLAY, O.
S. J. McMichael has placed the man-
agement of his greenhouse establish-
ment in the hands of Arthur Marshall,
formerly of Columbus Grove. Mr. Mc-
Michael has had so many irons in the
fire that he has been unable to look
after all of them the way he would like,
and he also feels that lightening his
labors will be of advantage to his
health. His specialty is vegetable plants
and preparations are being made for
growing an immense quantity for the
approaching season. Last year he was
fully 300,000 short in filling his orders.
Eighty bushels of sweet potatoes will
be put down for plants, the shipping
season for which starts May 1. Tomato
plants will be grown by the hundreds
of thousands from seed saved on the
place. Peppers, eggplants, celery, cauli-
flower, cabbage and aster plants also
are specialties.
Mr. McMichael also is known as the
horseradish king, for he has been grow-
ing the roots and bottling the product
for many years. He says growing horse-
radish roots for market is a profitable
side line for anyone with the necessary
ground. One acre of land would yield
$250 worth of salable roots in one year
if set six inches apart in the rows, with
the rows two and one-half or three feet
apart. He says the soil should be
sandy and the cultivation the same as
for potatoes. Horseradish roots now
are selling at 6 cents to 9 cents per
pound, wholesale.
Ottawa, Kan. — B. Romstedt, of the
Eomstedt Greenhouses, has completed
two new houses, each 18x110, and is
planting them to lettuce.
Racine, Wis. — John Bourgaise, pro-
prietor of the North Side Greenhouses,
has announced his candidacy for alder-

Wheeler, of the Wheeler Floral Co., has
purchased the interests of his partner,
E. A. Williams, and will continue the
business alone. In spite of a fire and
other misfortunes, Mr. Wheeler has
built up a prosperous trade.

Pink
Boston Market
PENNSYLVANIA
A seedlinjr of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for the past five years
and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel ronfldent it is one of the best
commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering' it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
The color is a shade lighter pi Ilk than Lawson; form high built, much like Boston Market ; stem
long and graceful ; healthy grower; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker — a pink Boston Market— only much
larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties.
Come and see it growing. I guarantee same to be in perfei t health. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000

J. T. Butterworth.
J. T. Butterworth keeps adding to
the numbers of his orchids, not alone
by importations, but by skillful propa-
gation at home. There are few grow-
ers who can increase their stock of
choice cattleyas as Mr. Butterworth
does. Cattleya Trianse is the variety
most largely grown here and large
quantities were open, varying from
pure white to deep pink, some beautiful
forms being noted. If we mistake not,
one or two specimens from here will
open visitors* eyes at the coming S. A.
F. show. All other cattleyas were look-
ing well. Laelia anceps, both white and
pink, carried a fine crop. Quantities of
Dendrobium nobile and Wardianum had
the buds separated and some ready to
open. Miltonias are well done. They
are not the easiest orchids to grow, but
are quite at home here, as are the frac-
tious odontoglossums.
The crop of Cypripedium insigne was
nearly over for the season. A nice crop
of phalsenopsis spikes were ready to
open and some good cymbidiums, includ-
ing Tracyanum and insigne, were car-
rying strong spikes. Of the yellow
forms of Cypripedium insigne quite a
big batch is being worked up. In the
carnation houses Pink Delight looked
as fine as had ever been seen. Beacon,
Enchantress, Winsor and White Perfec-
tion all looked well. Lily of the valley
was excellent, the flowering pips carry-
ing fine dark foliage. Tulips and nar-
cissi are each grown in quantity, the
vellow Prince tulips being of extra qual-
ity. W. N. Craig.

EDWAEDSVILLE, ILL.
Eeferring to the item in The Review
of February 23 regarding the business
change contemplated by J. F. Ammann,
it is stated that Mr. Ammann is ar-
ranging to turn his greenhouse plant
over to three of his old employees, J. H.
Buchsenschutz, Edward Buchsenschutz
and Le Eoy Smith, who expect in the
near future to incorporate what will
be known as the J. F. Ammann Go.
The first named has been in the em-
ploy of Mr. Ammann for sixteen years,
the last ten of which he has had en-
tire charge of the greenhouses, as fore-
man. Le Eoy Smith has had charge of
the rose section and has also been with
Mr. Ammann for over ten years. Edw.
Buchsenschutz has spent eight years on
the place and during the latter part
has had charge of the carnations. The
company will be incorporated for $6,-
000, stock fully paid up, and will take
over all the stock and equipment about
July 1, and in time purchase the entire
plant, including greenhouses and five
acres of land, on which it will hold an
option for the present. Mr. Ammann
expects to hold a few shares of stock
in the new company for a while, in
order to get the boys well started and
also to be somewhat in touch with the
business he has spent the greater part
of his life in. The active management
will be in charge of J. H. Buchsen
schutz.
Mr. Ammann has been connected
with the florists' business for over
twenty-five years, and the present plant
was established twenty years ago with
3,000 feet of small sash houses. This
has been rebuilt three times, until now
it consists of 40,000 feet of modern
glass. Mr. Ammann will continue to
make Edwardsville his home and de-
vote most of his time to his retail
stores at Alton and East St. Louis, pur-
chasing stock for these from the home
plant. The young men will make
wholesale growing a specialty.
Lowell, Mass.— H. .T. F. De Thestrup,
formerly foreman for A. M. Davenport,
at Watertown, Mass., is now grower
and manager for Frank P. Putnam, the
carnation specialist of this city.

New Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander
New Marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander.
The most valuable flowering pot plant
which has been offered to the trade
since the introduction of the Lorraine
Beg^onia.
In this we have unquestionably the most im-
portant flowering plant introduced in recent
years, which, like its predecessors, the French
Marguerite and the later introductions, white
and blush Queen Alexandra, will be grown exten-
sively for cut flowers during the winter, while
its pure white color will make it more valuable
than any as a pot plant for Easter decorations.
Unlike all other Marguerites, its color is of
the purest glistening white throughout; in size it
frequently measures 5 inches across; the center
of the flower is a mass of closely arranged
fringed florets; these are surrounded or edged by
the broad, shining white ray petals, forming a
flower which reminds one forcibly of a glorified
double Pyrethrum. These are produced on long
stems with a freedom not known in other varie-
ties of the Marguerite.
The entire stock of this grand novelty has
been placed in our hands for American distribu-
tion and we are now booking orders for delivery
the latter part of April or early in May:
Good 214-in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
The above prices are intended for the trade only.

The Market.
We are unable to report any decided
improvement in the market. On one
or two days better clearances have
been effected, but at a sacrifice in
values. More flowers are arriving than
the buying public wants and, with the
near approach of Lent and a cessation
of social activity, the chances for a
stronger market for some weeks are
far from bright.
Carnations have so far this season
constituted the body of the market,
and nearly every grower expects an
exceptionally fine crop from now on.
Violets are to be had at almost any price
and seem to be moving fairly' well. A
great influx of tulips and jonquils came
just at a time when the people were
ready for a change, and were all the
more welcome when the bulbous stock
began to go cheap, as this made a
clean-up possible. Cyclamens, primroses
and pans of tulips and hyacinths are
here in quantity and sell well.
There is an exceptionally good de-
mand for azaleas, which are of espe-
<?ially good quality; light colors are in
more demand than the darker ones.
Roses are coming in greater numbers,
but it will be some time before there
is a glut of any size. Sweet peas are
among the best sellers at present, and
the demand for them is increasing
every year; the best^ bring about 75
cents per huadrei * ., A
The temperatuJI has been about 38
to 40 degrees at night.
Varions Notes.
Edward Kress, of 2506 East North
avenue, gave the members of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club an oyster
roast at his establishment March 1, which
was the fiftieth anniversary of the busi-
ness, which was started by his father
at the^resent location, adjoining one of
the lai^ eemeteries.
Chas. L. Seybold, one of the crack
bowlers of the Florists' Club, was con-
fined to his home with a sprained ankle
for over ten days; it occurred just as
the bowling team was finishing a match
with another local team. Q.

DETROIT.
The Market.
Business last week was satisfactory
to all concerned. Boses were not any
too plentiful, while carnations were in
heavy supply. Toward the end of the
week the demand was not equal to the
occasion. Bulbous stock is moving
nicely, as are also peas, violets and
valley. Considerable southern smilax
was used for decorating last week.
Various Notes.
Herman Knope, foreman for Breit-
meyer's, is suffering from a nervous
breakdown, having been ill practically
all winter.
B. Schroeter has commenced getting
his temporary quarters at 90 Broadway
into shape, so that he can move on a
few days' notice.
Philip Breitmeyer and wife returned
home February 26. Mrs. Breitmeyer
had been in the east, while the ex-
mayor spent a few weeks in Cuba and
the south. He will address the mem-
bers of the Detroit Florists' Club Mon-
day evening, March 6, giving a talk on
the trip. H. S.
BAK HABBOB, ME.
John H. Stalford, who last fall pur-
chased the property known as the Mal-
vern Greenhouses, with an adjoining
tract of land, has completed the work
of renovating and rebuilding, and his
place is now a model of completeness
and convenience. The grounds them-
selves are particularly attractive, being
almost entirely surrounded by tall
trees.
The old greenhouses and other build-
ings were removed and a new range,
containing 11,000 square feet of glass,
was built. Two houses will be used for
melons in summer and for carnations
the rest of the season. Besides these

81^ The old reliable firm, GODFREY ASCHNANN, is not connected with any other firm and is more active than ever
PREPARE FOR EASTER
FROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY?
From our old friend, Godfrey Aschinann, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall bt' our
man this Easter, and, as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our man in the futun^ He always treated us right before,
and we can rely upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff.
What Florists Say About Our Lilies
Daily visitors to our establishment, among
them two well known growers, one from Cincin-
nati, Ohio, the other from South Orange, N. J.,
■say: "You !iave the best lilies we ever have
seen on our visits to many florists' establlsh-
wents. We congratulate you. You certainly
■can be proud."
An immense stock of choice Easter plants,
tilooming Easter week, or earlier, if desired, are
■now ready for immediate shipment. Come your-
■self or. mail your order direct to headquarters.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many
jears past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our
ability.
Go to Hfadquartf rs for Azaleas
Azalea Indica is a specialty with us, grown
tor us under contract by an Azalea specialist In
Belgium for the last twenty years. Have four
tiouses full of the choicest. Only best well-
known American varieties are imported, and are
«ow in excellent condition, covered with buds,
just right for Easter. We ship only good stock,
full of buds and flowers.
What is the name of the best double pink
azalea? Hme. Van der Cruyssen Is the name,
originated by the well-known azalea specialist
Mr. Van der Cruyssen of Belgium. Millions are
raised every year and shipped to every point of
the globe from Belgium. We have a big stock

Deutsche Perle. This is the best pure double
white. 6-in. pots, 75c, $1.00 to $1.50. Outside
the Deutsche Perle we have no white to offer in
small sizes, because the other varieties, Nlobe
and Bernard Andrea alba, of which we had a
large stock, during transportation across the
sea and during winter lost all their buds and
have to be carried over for another year. This
first variety the year Imported does not do well,
hut makes fine plants the next year.

the nest size either above or below the price
mentioned.

year, green as grass, full of buds, every branch

75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50.

We have a friend in Japan who looks after our
interests there. He picks out for us only the
good, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are growing, the 10-in. bult>s, and therefore he
ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to bum; can supply. If
nothing happens, every customer and others
who want HIIps. If you see them growing in our
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where

far back into the 19th century, that our name,
as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never die
out, and is still fresh In people's minds same

by Greeks and Romans as a special favorite in
their household, as a good omen.

Greenhouse Heating.
GOOD OIL BURNER WANTED.
I am a young florist, with one year
in my own greenhouses. I have been
burning soft coal, but find it to be much
trouble and dirty. I would like to burn
crude oil next year, but I do not know
ot any good burner. I have 7,350 square
feet of glass. Do you know of any
good burner? If not, will you please
ask the readers of The Review if any
florist is using the crude oil in his
boilers, also what kind of a burner he
is using? K. L. K.
If any reader can recommend a
burner The Review will be pleased to
publish the name and address of the
maker.
BOILER IS TOO LARGE.
This summer I put in a new boiler.
Everyone advised me to put in one large
enough for present needs, with a good
margin, saying it would not take much
more fuel than a smaller one. I did as ad-
vised, but think it takes more fuel than
one which would do the work for fifty
per cent or more of the time. I do not
regret putting in the big boiler, but
should like to know whether I could
save enough on fuel to justify me in
installing also a smaller boiler. During
fifty per cent or more of the winter 1,000
linear feet of 1-inch pipe, with ten
pounds of steam, give me the required
temperature. Only three or four times
during the winter do I need the
maximum of about 3,500 feet of 1-inch
pipe.
My boiler is a return flue boiler, 44
inches x 12 feet, and contains forty-six
3-inch flues. The grate is 45x48 inches.
The stack is twenty-four inches wide
and thirty feet high. I think the com-
bustion is practically perfect. Would a
smaller boiler be a paying investment,
and what percentage could I save?
L. C. B.
The boiler is evidently of about forty
horse-power and should be large enough
for 6,000 or 8.000 linear feet of 1-inch
pipe in the coils. If 3,500 linear feet is
all that is required in the most severe
weather, it would save at least twenty-
five per cent of the fuel if a twenty
horse-power boiler could be installed,
and perhaps fifty per cent at limes when
only 1,000 linear feet is needed. These
figures are mainly approximations, as
nothing is stated regarding the size and
construction of the house.
It is, of course, always well to have

A SUCCESSION OF TROUBLES.
We are having trouble in the heating
of our greenhouse, which is 15x20, with
a shed on the north end, eight feet
wide. When we purchased our boiler,
a Wilks hot water heater, 36x24, we in-
stalled it with an outlet connecting to a
pipe on each side, which formed a con-
tinuous circuit, with bends at the ends,
until they connected at the south end
with the inlet pipe. We placed four
pipes under each bench, and these, with
the inlet, made five under the middle

€LYou don't need to burn out your fire
trying to get heat quickly into the greenhouse farthest from your boiler. A
Castle Automatic Circulator
will force the hot water throughout the
system and do it without putting on a
pressure that is liable to cause leakage.
It does it by mechanically setting the
water in motion and keeping it moving
until the desired heat is just where you
want it.
The Castle Circulator has entirely cured
the faults of hot- water systems which
could not be satisfactorily operated be-
fore it was put in. We would like to
show you the results of tests.

tor works.

to leak, but the worst of all was the
overflowing of the tank, siphoning the
water out.
Then we were advised that the sys-
tem was all wrong and were supplied
with a pencil sketch showing how the
work ought to be done. We enclose the
sketch. In changing, we left out the
longest pipes, thus having only three
pipes under some of the benches, in-
stead of four. Our expansion pipe still
bothers us nearly as badly as before,
but, with experience, we have more con-
trol of it by lessening the fire. Of
course we heat it so the water would
boil if it had space. During our cold-
est spells, 8 degrees above zero, we
could hardly keep the temperature
above 40 degrees in the far corners.
We may have much colder weather, of
course, and we do not know how we can
keep from freezing. Our being two and
one-half feet below the ground level
helps us. It is a tight house and well
protected on all sides, except the south-
east.
If the expansion is the safety valve
of the hot water, should it not be
moved a short distance farther away,
which would place it at practically the
farthest point on the system? Of course
we can put it where back action can not
touch it, if that is all that is necessary
to remedy the trouble. The capacity of
the heater is for a much larger house
and we ought to be able to keep this
baby plant hot if we wished, instead of
holding it at 50 to 60 degrees, which
we cannot do now.
We have one air valve at the highest
part of the outflow, and though all
pipes are carefully tested with a level

now leaks badly and we fill the tank
twice a day, eight to fourteen gallons
at a time. J, F. T.
The sketch shows one 2-inch over-
head flow pipe and nine li/^-inch re-
turns, distributed in three coils under
the benches. This should make it possi-
ble to maintain a temperature of 45
degrees in zero weather, provided the
piping is properly arranged. One im-
portant point, the relative height of the
heater and return pipes, is not clear.
The heater is evidently several times
as large as is necessary, and, with the
piping arranged as described, it is not
strange that the boiler is leaking or
that it boils over.

can take care of 16,000 feet. I do not have any trouble to keep up temperature of 50 degrees
in the coldest weather. I fire only once after 12 o'clock midnight. The boiler has given
perfect satisfaction. I have toiir cast Iron boilers— like the "Kroesohell" the

the farther end of the house. The
proper way is to carry the flow pipe as
quickly as possible to a point about
two feet below the ridge and then run
it, with a drop of two inches, to the
farther end of the house. Connect the
expansion tank with the highest point
of the flow pipe. There will then be
no need of air valves and no chance
for air to collect in the flow pipe. No
change is necessary in the returns, ex-
cept that they should be raised as high
as possible. Keally the best way, unless
they are now above the top of the
heater, is to place them on the side
walls, just below the plates. If more
than 45 degrees is desired, the number
of return pipes should be increased, two
pipes being added for each five degrees
of additional heat desired, with 2^^-
inch main flow and return. Care should
be taken that the expansion tank does
not freeze, as an explosion might result.
ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
The business of last week was really
good among the store men out in the
west end. They say they had a great
deal of social work of all kinds and so-
ciety was crowding in as many func-
tions as possible before Lent.
The wholesalers have had a good de-
mand, but are not cleaning up daily
now, as stock of all kinds is plentiful
at all the wholesale houses and prices
are not nearly so high. The violet
growers at Kirkwood say the cold
weather of last week saved the violet
crop, the previous week being too hot
for them to continue blooming. So this
week the market had a good supply of
them, as usual. !Roses are becoming
more plentiful and some good Killar-
neys. White Killarneys and Bicbmonds
were seen at greatly reduced prices. Of
carnations there were more than the
demand could use in any one day last
week, and good fancies could be had for
$2 per hundred in all varieties.
Bulb stock was heavy in quantity
and of good quality all of last week.
All the wholesalers were stocked up
with it and prices on this, too, have
been cut. Sweet peas are much too
plentiful for the demand and, unless
low prices prevail, are left over. Calla
lilies have been plentiful, with prices
at $10 per hundred. In green goods,
too, there is enough of everything.

There are three railroads running
through this town and C. Humfeld has
worked up an excellent shipping busi-
ness in funeral designs, covering the
surrounding towns. He has been excep-
tionally busy of late. Carnations are
in excellent condition, the Enchantress
varieties being grown most extensively.
Winsor and Queen Louise also do well
here and O. P. Bassett is grown for red.
Boses are good, but have been off crop
for some time. The business in rooted
cuttings is heavier than ever this sea-
son. Three houses are devoted to let-
tuce and radishes for the home trade.
Rhubarb grown under the benches is a
profitable crop. Preparations are now
being made for planting a large quan-
tity of early vegetables. As many as
twenty-two acres of sweet potatoes are
grown.
S. D. Brandt also finds business in
rooted cuttings heavy this season. Pel-
argoniums are one of his specialties.
The propagating benches are full of
young stock. He has four houses of
roses and three houses of carnations
and has found the demand this season
exceeding his supply. Mrs. Brandt has
been ill for more than two months.

Standard Durability
Durability is one of the chief points of advantage in Standard Pump-
ingf Engfines, just as it is a feature of all high priced automobile engines, and
the high grade stationary engines for electric light and power purposes. The
Standard engine design is similar to that of the best automobiles in having a
vertical, water cooled engine. The vertical engine is far preferable to
the horizontal for its superior wearing qualities, as long experience has
demonstrated. The inlet and exhaust valves are of the vertical poppet type,
are mechanically operated by means of steel cams, and have extremely long guide
bushings, which hold them in line and absolutely air-tight. The side strain on
horizontal valves gradually wears them out, but the vertical valve, mechanically
operated, is the acme of durability.

The Market.
Trade has been fairly good during the
last week. Funeral work has been quite
plentiful. Flowers are not quite so
scarce. Carnations still retail at 75
cents per dozen, roses at $2 per dozen;
single tulips at 60 cents, double tulips
at 75 cents per dozen; daffodils at 50
cents and 60 cents per dozen; Paper
Whites at 50 cents per dozen, retail;
violets at $1 per hundred blooms, sweet
peas at $1 per hundred blooms, snap-
dragons at $1 per dozen, callas at $2
per dozen, Easter lilies at $3 per dozen.
Freesia still helps out, as also does
alyssum.
The plant trade continues good. Some
nice flowering plants are to be seen in
the store windows.
During the last week we have had
more days of sunshine than we have
had for months. The weather is mild,
with occasional cold nights.
Various Notes.
E. H. Chamberlain had a nice window
display of flowering plants Saturday,
February 25, consisting of azaleas, tu-
lips, cyclamens, daffodils, lily of the
valley and cinerarias.
"William P. Peirce was busy last week
with funeral work. He reports a good
call for plants.
Peter Murray is sending in some nice
obconica primroses. His place is in
fine shape.
'R. E. Nofftz is cutting some excellent
bulb stock. He had a handsome window
display last week.
R. H. Woodhouse had a good wed-
ding order recently, requiring a large
quantity of palms, ferns and flowering
plants. W. L.
Greenfield, Mass.— E. A. Richards, of
the Sunny Dell Greenhouses, makes a
specialty of growing carnations for the
retail trade, and he modestly states
that he hopes some of his stock may
be good enough for exhibition at the
Boston show in March. He says he has
a light pink sport of White Perfection
that he is watching closely, believing
that it will prove to be valuable. He
thinks highly of May Day and expects
to plant it more extensively next
season.

PITTSBURG.
The Market.
Pittsburg has been having some of
the most delightful weather; the first
robin has made its appearance and the
buds of a fine magnolia are bursting and
showing the new green, and flowers are
becoming a little more plentiful.
Eoses are fine in color, but are still
on the scarce side, although carnations
are coming in quantities that satisfy
all demands. Bulbous stock is quite
plentiful, and the tulips are fine. Vio-
lets are coming about right to clean up
every day. Smilax is not plentiful, and
adiantum is decidedly scarce.
There has been nothing large doing,
but the regular trade has been quite sat-
isfactory, and February was quite a
good month.
Various Notes.
Geo. Schemer, of Connellsville, Pa.,
lost one of his greenhouses by fire,
caused by the burning of a neighbor's
stable; the loss was considerable, as the
house was filled with plants.
Paul Bandolph, who is quite a chicken
fancier, captured a few prizes at the
poultry show with his fancy bantams
and pigeons.
Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Eowe, of Titus-
ville, Pa., were visitors last week.
Hoo-Hoo.
LONDON, ONT.
The range of J. Gammage & Sons
now contains fifteen houses, each from
200 to 400 feet long, with service build-
ing 50x68 feet in the center. About
60,000 feet is used for growing cut
flowers and the remaining ten houses
are given to growing plants, principally
for Christmas and Easter trade. In
cut flowers, roses, carnations, chrysan-
themums, sweet peas and violets are
grown. These are for the retail trade,
and with the addition of the bloom
from 150,000 to 200,000 bulbs are sold
in the retail store. The plants are
largely sold at wholesale, the shipping
points covering practically the whole
of the Dominion. The plant is heated
from a battery of five seventy horse-
power boilers, so arranged that one or
more may be used, as the conditions
of the weather demand. In addition
to the range of glass, several acres of
shrubs, herbaceous plants and peren-
nials are grown. Peonies have been an
excellent cut flower crop for spring.

The Clip that's safe, the SaJFety Clip.
They'll tie your guy wires every trip;

But the best of all is the Safety Clip.
The Heiin Safety Clips are for Roses, Chrysanthemums and Carnations and
are the neatest, most up-to-date articles on the market. So well do they
accomplish their work that you cannot afford to be without them. They will
not rust and with a little care will last a lifetime. Get out of the old twine
and string rut and get in line with the Heim Safety Clip and be up-to-date.
They are the hold-fast kind, and when you put them on they won't come off,
unless you take them off. They are quickly applied and quickly removed.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
March 2. 1911.
CINCINNATI.
The Gateway to the South.
With the advent of bulbous stock in
quantity and a heavy supply of carna-
tions, the market became easy in nearly
all lines. A heavy shipping business
has taken up many blooms. Local re-
tail business is creating no exceptional
stir. Many consignments, the quality
of which is extremely good for dumped
stock, have been arriving from smaller
growing centers.
All roses except red are now appar-
ently sufficient in quantity, and the
quality, too, is getting back to mid-
winter form. Kichmond and Khea Keid
are off crop and, judging from what
does come into the market, it will be a
fortnight before they are strong in
numbers. The market on Beauties is
easy.
In the early part of the week the
wholesalers were long on carnations.
The call is strong for white, which alone
cleans up properly. Enchantress, too,
enjoys a good call, but is arriving in
such large quantities that the demand
does not absorb it as fast as the white.
The prices of all have dropped a notch.
Bulbous stock is now having its in-
ning. The good hyacinths, tulips, jon-
quils, daffodils and freesias find a ready
sale, but the poorer stock cleans up
only at low prices. Plenty callas may
be easily obtained, while Easter lilies
are again here in quantity. lily of the
valley is a glut. Violets, both single
and double, are more than s;ifficient in
quantity to meet requests. Sweet peas
clean up every day.
The market is long on everything in
the line of greens, especially good
Sprengeri and plumosus.
Various Notes.
Miss Edith Kyrk reports that _ Gus
Adrian is cutting extra fine Narcissus
Victoria, Dutch hyacinths and tulips.
Ed Fries has a fine crop of Formosa
lilies coming on. The stems are long,
stiff and erect and nearly every plant
has five or more buds. He also has a
large quantity of Spiraea Gladstone that
look fine.
Among the auto enthusiasts that came
to this city for the show were Mr. and
Mrs. Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va.;
Mrs. Buck, of Washington C. H., 0.,
and O. C. Heberling, of Georgetown,
Ky.
Charles Bosworth, of J. M. McCul-
lough's Sons Co., is wearing a smile
that won't come off. It's a boy.
Peter Herb, of Mt. Healthy, O., is
cutting excellent hyacinths for Otto
Walke.
Local florists regret to hear of the
death of S. J. Galloway, of Eaton, O.
The funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon, February 26.
The following were among the recent
callers: C. S. Ford, of Philadelphia,
representing A. Herrmann, of New
York; Kupert E. Hall, representing
Eeed & Keller, New York, and William
Eisner, of the Newark Parafl&ne &
Parchment Co., Newark, N. J.

COST
Should not be the only consideration
in

KING
Greenhouses, however, are really econom-
ical because the additional, put into
extra strength and rigidity, is a very
small part of the total cost, and adds
many times its value to the life of

AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY CAES.
The New vs. the Old.
Men in all lines of business are pon-
dering over the question of adopting the
automobile for delivery purposes. Many
have done so to a limited extent, while
some already have abolished the horse.
It is only in the last few years that
automobile concerns have gone exten-
sively into the manufacture of commer-
cial vehicles. The pioneer companies are
all getting into that end of the busi-
ness and in this city (Detroit), at least,
new companies, manufacturing commer-
cial automobiles exclusively, are spring-
ing up like mushrooms.
It is the use of the motor car for
business purposes that will put it on a
substantial basis. The number of peo-
ple who have used horses only for pleas-
ure or convenience is small compared
with the thousands who have employed
horses as a means of business trans-
portation— for doctors, salesmen, rural
mail carriers, delivery purposes, etc.
Here lies the life of the motor car.
Florists' Cars — ^A Difficult Problem.
The practical business automobile is
still in the process of development,
although the progress has been remark-
ably fast; the years to come will see
many changes, and naturally many im-
provements. Neverthelew, there are al-
ready many good commercial cars on the
market that are adapted to our busi-
ness. I am speaking from the stand-
point of the retail florist, who is up
against a problem such as perhaps no
olher merchant has to contend with.
A florist is expected to have a neat,
stylish wagon. Our goods ' will not
stand much vibration or jarring, or ex-
posure to frost or extreme heat. Flow-
ers can not be delivered "any old
time;" often a half hour's delay is
fatal. Except during the holiday
rushes, as at Easter and Christmas, the
average flower store does not have
enough deliveries to make in one day
to warrant keeping a number of wagons,
one for each section of the city; con-
sequently one wagon, perhaps, must de-
liver to the two extreme points in a
city on the same day.
Comparative Cost.
In the business with which the writer
is identified we are usifag an automo-
bile for delivering and hardly a week
passes but some one says, "Do you
find it cheaper than the horse?" Peo-
ple might just as well compare electric
lights and kerosene lamps.
We all know that the actual cost in
dollars and cents for lighting our stores
with electricity is more than it was
when we used kerosene. Why, then, do
we use electricity? Because it is clean,
safe, convenient, odorless, flexible, gives
a better light, and. modern times de-
mand it. Taking all these reasons into
consideration, the extra cost of electric
light seldom is considered. So it is, or
will eventually be, with the automobile.
One-half to three-fourths of an hour
spent every morning in oiling up and
cleaning the mechanism of an auto will
keep it in fine condition. A horse re-
quires about that much time for groom-
ing each day, to say nothing of the
time for feeding at morning, nopn and
evening. And if a horse comfes into
the stall warm at night, he can not be
fed at once. The stable also needs at-
tention every day.
Speed and Convenience.
You can drive an auto all day long,
seven days a week, at a speed of twelve
to fifteen miles per hour. It never
gets tired, but what of the horse?
If you have a long run t'o make, to
some suburban town, say twenty-five
miles, round trip, it can be done in one
and one-half to two hours with the auto.
In fact, as soon as you have the facili-
ties for quicker and more prompt de-
livering, so many uses for it will spring
up that ere long you will be wondering
how it was ever possible to do the
work with horses.
Tire Trouble.
Many florists dread the thought of
tire trouble. This can be entirely elim-
inated by equipping the car with solid
or cushion tires, although for a light
delay caused by an occasional puncture
or blow-out does not compare with the
annoyance of the horse with dull shoes
when the roads are icy, and the delays
at the horseshoer's.
When an auto is standing idle, the
cost can only be measured by the money
invested, and this is not as much as
horse-feed, unless the first cost of your
car ran into the thousands, which is
unnecessary.
Many say an auto is a fine advertise-
ment. This is true, although a fine de-
livery wagon, drawn by a span of well
groomed and well harnessed horses, also
speaks well for the firm.
The Driver. ,;
One feature about the horse which
appeals to many is that a boy at $6 or
$8 per week can drrxe it", while in- such
hands an auto would be a big expense
and short-lived. Here, in my estima-
tion, lies the whole secret of making
the commercial auto pay. Put a good,
practical, trustworthy man on it, pay
him well and you will have no trouljle.
If you are located in a sraall city or
only do a little retail business, calling
for but few deliveries, drive the car
yourself. An hour or two a day will do
all your delivering, give you a little
change from the regular routine and
enable you to dispense with the driver
altogether.
There can be no doubt that we all
agree as to the advantages of the auto,
and in my next article 1 will endeavor
to give an estimate of the relative cost
of operation, from actual experience.

commercial wagon, which is to travel
rapidly, my advice, based on experience,
would be to use pneumatic tires. The
solid tires will jar the machinery, caus-
ing a continual need for adjustment,
and flowers will not carry so well, be-
cause of the greater vibration. The

at times. People insist on ordering the
most unusual articles reproduced in

the dollars. The Chatham Floral Co.,
Chatham, N. Y., had such a piece to
make last summer, in the shape of an
automobile in flowers. The outcome is
shown in the snapshot sent herewith.
The design was correctly proportioned
and six feet long, the body and tires
being made of asters, the hood or radia-
tor, etc., of American Beauties, lilies,
valley and other flowers. The lamps
were of yellow flowers, with white
flowers for the glass. The steering
wheel, levers and wheel spokes were
wound with chenille. Every detail'
was carried out, even to the number on
the back of the machine. The design
was made on a specially built wire
frame, with six rods affording contact
with the ground and holding the de-
sign so that the weight would not come
upon the wheels. The design stood
several days in a cemetery and at-
tracted great crowds. Of course, there
is nothing artistic to commenti in puch
a design; but mechanical excellence
probably counts for as much with the
purchasers, and certainly such a design
as this automobile attracts vastly more
attention than would any number of
the most skillfully arranged sprays.

THE BOSEBY.
The illustrations on this page show
the attractive little flower shop known
as The Rosery, at Lancaster, Pa., which
was opened for business November 17,
1910, by Miss Lou Helen Dundore, who
has been connected with the florists'
business for some years and is thor-
oughly qualified to make her venture a
success. The color scheme of the shop
is white and green, the woodwork being
finished in white enamel, with green
for walls and fixtures. The window is
tiled in white and green, and the fur-
niture is of the mission style, the re-
frigerator, of McCray manufacture, also
being in the forest green finish. The
Eosery is up-to-date in all its equip-
ment and work, and Miss Dundore has
enjoyed an excellent patronage ever
since her opening day.

Sowing the Seed.
My years of experience in the grow-
ing of the cyclamen may perhaps be of
use to some of my brother florists in
the cultivation of this beautiful winter
blooming plant.
The time to sow cyclamen seed varies
according to when you want them in
bloom. The latter part of July or the'
first part of August is a good time to
sow in order to make good plants in
fifteen to sixteen months, or by the
second Christmas after the sowing.
Other sowings can be made until Janu-
ary. Seed sown as late as January
would, perhaps, with good culture and
everything favorable, make strong 4-
inch and 5-inch pot plants, but do not
expect them to bloom as early as those
from seed sown in August. Your suc-
cess in growing cyclamens depends
greatly upon the strain of seed used.
Always get the best seed grown and
of the highest standard, and your dis-
appointments will be less.
We are sowing our cylamens in flats
12x20x3 inches, inside measure, in rows
one and one-half inches apart, and we
drop 500 seeds about one-fourth of an
inch apart in the rows. Of course, we
usually make a sowing of from 30,000
to 60,000 at a time. For a florist that
grows only from 100 to several thou-
sands, I would advise that he sow the
single seeds about one inch apart each
way, grow them on until the plants
have a nice ball of roots established
and then shift them into flats, about
two to two and one-half inches apart,
or into 2Vi-inch pots. I recommend the
latter method, as they are thus handled
better and make stockier plants.
A good soil to sow in would be a

Mr. Winterich is Growing One Hundred Seven Thousand Cyclamen Plants this Season.
loose mixture of about two-thirds leaf-
mold, with some loam and sand added.
This soil may do also for the first shift.
For each successive shift add more
loam and old hotbed soil. For the last
two shifts we use some horn shavings
or meal, mixed with the soil in the
proportion of a 4-inch potful to a
bushel of soil.
Care of the Seedlings.
Set the seed flats, thinly covered
with sphagnum moss, on a mild hotbed,
with not too much ventilation, or in a
greenhouse where you can keep the
air moderately moist until the seeds
germinate, which takes about four to
five weeks. Keep the flats shaded and
moist until the seedlings make the first
leaf; then remove the sphagnum moss
and increase the light and ventilation
gradually. Loosen the soil around the
plants with a label and keep the green
moss which forms on the soil removed.
Do this every two or three weeks, as
this is essential to the growing of
strong and healthy plants.
We transplant the first batch into
other flats about eight to ten weeks
after the sowing of the seed, planting
them about one and one-half inches
apart. Set them on shelves near the
glass and give them an average night
temperature of about 52 to 55 degrees,
with 10 degrees more heat in the day-
time. Give them plenty of fresh air;
never let the air become close, or they
will weaken, and such plants are hard
to get through the hot summer months.
Do not shade cyclamens from the mid-
dle of October until about March 1.
Give all the Jight possible until you
see the plants are in danger of wilt-
ing; then, with two or three fine
sprinklings, you might have to shade
them only during the hottest part of
the day. A sprinkling two or three
times on a hot day will help to make
large bulblets and, of course, the plant
will greatly benefit by it. I use a
spray that produces a fine mist, as a
coarse spray would keep the plants
wet and soggy.
Set the. plants so that the bulblets
are just covered after the first good
watering. I warn you not to plant too
deep, as that would make spindly
plants and weak bulbs. If planted too
high, the bulbs grow hard and will
never make a thriving plant.
Semoval to the Hotbed.
We manage to have our plants from
the first sowing in 3-inch pots by
the end of March, when they go on a
mild hotbed. In the beginning keep
the bed rather close, until you notice
their root action. Shade them only in
bright sunshine and sprinkle them at
least once or twice a day, according to
the weather. Keep the bottom heat at
about 70 to 80 degrees. Gradually give
more ventilation and maintain a tem-
perature of about 55 to 65 degrees
above the plantsj a much warmer
atmosphere will tnake spindly plants
and a much cooler one will give them a
backset. Shift whenever the pot ball
is fairly well rooted. Do not let them
get potbound and do not give them too
large a shift. Put in about one-fifth
drainage, for which washed coal ashes
or coarse sand is the best material.
Cyclamens, more than any other plant,
enjoy clean pots. They also enjoy a
mild hotbed, though this is not abso-
lutely necessary.
When shifting into larger pots, set
the plants now so that the bulb is
about covered with soil. The first
watering will then settle the soil to
about three-fourths or one-half the
bulb. If planted too high, the bulb
will get hard too soon and may burst
and set the buds on too early. On the
other hand, when planted too deep, the
plants get spindly and the flower stems
rot easily.
The Watering and Shading.
Most of the mistakes are made in
watering, by keeping the plants too
wet and soggy. Let them dry out
fairly well before you give another
watering. This will keep the soil
sweet, which is of the iitmost impor-
tance for growing choice - cyclamen
plants. - ■-' ' I
The shade should not be too deiise.
I use thin burlap or sashes made out
of plaster strips, also mats of bamboo
sticks, but I believe burlap is the
easiest to handle and the cheapest in
the long run. •-'*•
The last shift we usuajly* make in
August or September. It»"is now ad-
visable to set the plants so the bulb
comes to stand about one-half in the
soil. This is important to the setting
of the buds. The plants bloom with
more flowers at one time; also, the
buds are not so liable to rot off and
the plants are more ej»aily kept clean.
During the warm ni. hts of August
and September the Mt/ies should be
removed from the plants. The dew
freshens up the plants, keeps them
short and is quite helpful in setting
the buds.
With the beginning of hot weather
we set the sashes on a railing, so that
the space between the lower part of
the sash and the hotbed frame is about
six to eight inches; the upper part of

usually make a sowing of from 30,000
to C0,000 at a time. For a florist that
grows only from 100 to several thou-
sands, 1 would advise that he sow the
single seeds about one inch apart each
wa\', grow them on until the plants
have :i nice ball of roots established
and then shift them into flats, about
two to two and f)iie-lialf inches apart,
or into 2'/_.-inch pots. 1 recommend the
latter method, as they are thus handled
better and make stockier jilants.
A good soil to sow in would be a

The illustrations on this page show
the attractiye little flower shop known
as The l^osery, at Lancaster, Pa., which
was opened for business November 17,
1910, by Miss Lou Helen Dundore, who
has been connected with the florists'
business for some years and is thor-
oughly qualified to make her venture a
success. The color scheme of the shop
is white and green, the woodwork being
finished in white enamel, with green
for walls and fixtures. The window is
tiled in white and green, and the fur-
niture is of the mission style, the re-
frigerator, of McCray manufacture, also
being in the forest green finish. The
Rosery is up-to-date in all its equij)-
ment and work, and Miss Dundore has
enjoyed an excellent patronage ever
since her opening day.

Mr. Winterich is Growing One Hundred Seven Thousand Cyclamen Plants this Season.
loose mixture of about two-thirds leaf-
mold, with some loam aud sand added.
This soil may do also for the first shift.
For each successive shift add more
loam and old hotbed soil. For the last
two shifts we use some horn shavings
or meal, mixed with the soil in the
proportion of a 4-inch potful to a
bushel of soil.
Care of the Seedlings.
Set the seed flats, thinly covered
witli sphagnum moss, on a mild hotbed,
with not too much ventilation, or in a
greenhouse where you can keep the
air moderately moist until the seeds
germinate, which takes about four to
five weeks. Keep the flats shaded and
moist until the seedlings make the first
leaf; then remove the sphagnum moss
and increase the light and ventilation
gradually. Loosen the soil around the
plants with a label and keep the green
moss which forms on the soil removed.
Do this every two or three weeks, as
this is essential to the growing of
strong and healthy plants.
We transplant the first batch into
other flats about eight to ten weeks
after the sowing of the seed, planting
them about one and one-half inches
apart. Set them on shelves near the
glass and give them an average night
temperature of about o2 to oo degrees,
with 10 degrees more heat in the day-
time. Give them plenty of fresh air;
never let the air become close, or they
will weaken, and such plants are hard
to get through the hot summer months.
Do not shade cyclamens from the mid-
dle of October until about March 1.
Give all the light possible until you
see the plants are in danger of wilt-
ing; then, with two or three fine
sprinklings, you might have to shade
them only during the hottest part of
the day. A sprinkling two or three
times on a hot day will help to make
large bulblets and, of course, the plant
will greatly benefit by it. I use a
spray that produces a fine mist, as a
coarse spray would keep the plants
wet and soggy.
Set the plants so that the bulblets
are just covered after the first good
watering. I warn you not to plant too
deep, as that would make spindly
plants and weak bulbs. If planted too
high, the bulbs grow hard and will
never make a thriving plant.
Removal to the Hotbed.
We manage to have our plants from
the first sowing in 3-inch pots by
the end of March, when they go on a
mild hotbed. In the beginning keep
the bed rather close, until you notice
their root action. Shade them only in
bright sunshine and sprinkle them at
least once or twice a day, according to
the weather. Keep the bottom heat at
about 70 to 80 degrees. Gradually give
more ventilation and maintain a tem-
perature of about 55 to 65 degrees
above the plants; a much warmer
atmosphere will make spindly plants
and a much cooler one will give them a
backset. Shift whenever the pot ball
is fairly well rooted. Do not let them
get potbound and do not give them too
large a shift. Put in about one-fifth
drainage, for which washed coal ashes
or coarse sand is the best material.
Cyclamens, more than any other plant,
enjoy clean pots. They also enjoy a
mild hotbed, though this is not abso-
lutely necessary.
When shifting into larger pots, set
the plants now so that the bulb is
about covered with soil. The first
watering will then settle the soil to
about three fourths or one half the
bulb. If planted too high, the bulb
will got hard too soon and may burst
and set the buds on too early. On the
other hand, when planted too deep, the
plants get spindly and the flower stems
rot easily.
The Watering and Shading.
Most of the mistakes are made in
watering, l)y keeping the plants too
wet and soggy. Let them dry out
fairly well before you give another
watering. This will keep the soil
sweet, which is of the utmost impor-
tance for growing choice cyclamen
plants.
The shade should not be too dcqse.
I use thin burlap or sashes made out
of plaster strips, also mats of bamboo
sticks, but I believe burlap is the
easiest to handle and the chejipest in
the long run.
The last shift we usually make in
August or September. It is now ad-
visable to set the plants so the bulb
comes to stand about one-half in the
soil. This is important to the setting
of the buds. The plants bloom with
more flowers at one time; also, the
buds are not so liable to rot off and
the plants are more ec».sily kept clean.
During the warm ni, hts of August
and September the MkAes should be
removed from the plants. The dew
freshens up the plants, keeps them
short and is quite helpful in setting
the buds.
With the beginning of hot weather
we set the sashes on a railing, so that
the space between the lower part of
the sash and the hotbed frame is about
six to eigiit im-lies; the upper part of
10

the sashes is raised or lowered according
to the amount of ventilation you want
on the plants. On windy days let the
ventilation down in the direction of the
wind.
The Return to the House.
In the latter part of October we com-
mence to house the plants. Up to this
time we have the beds covered with
mats during cold nights. Do not make
the mistake of setting your plants too
close together, as now is the time when
plants should have all the room you
can spare them, to make shapely speci-
mens. No shade is now required.
Should the sun make it unpleasant for
the plants, give them a fine sprinkling
to keep them from wilting, and they
should havtf been gradually accustomed
to the bright weather while they were
out in the- beds; ■
A free circulation of fresh air all
the time is beneficial. Water care-
fully; never drop the water right on
the head of the plant, as it might rot
the buds and leaves close to the bulb.
The plants should be set over almost
every two weeks. They will need more
room every time you clean them out.
Pull the flower and leaf stems ri§kt
out; do not cut them off, as they might
rot down to the bulb.
Do not try to force a cyclamen by
raising the temperature, for if this is
done the plants will get spindly and
the flowers will be small and imperfect.
The only way to help a cyclamen along
in bringing it to bloom early is to give
it a good, bright house, with a night
temperature not above 55 degrees and
a good circulation of fresh air around
the plants. Some growers set the plants
on inverted pots to get the desired re-
sult. Should it be desired to hold them
back until late in the spring or for
thrips are the only ones that can injure
cyclamens. The green fly is easily kept
in check by using the nicotine solution
regularly once a week. It is advisable
not to make the solution too strong, as
it may burn some of the tender leaves.
The thrips are bothersome if they get
a hold, but can be kept in check by
using the solution of Paris green and
sugar. This, however, should be han-
dled carefully. Spray late in the after-
noon with this solution, and early the
next morning spray over with fresh
water to prevent burning of the foliage.
To grow good cyclamens, they must
never be neglected in any way. Good
common sense should be used in grow-
ing them, and if a good strain. of seed
is procured they should be among the
most profitable of plants, as well as
favorites of both the grower and his
customers. Christ. Winterich.
COTTAGE AND DABWIN TUUFS.
What is the difference between May-
flowering tulips and Darwin tulips and
how should they be cultivated here, in
the eastern part of New York state?
E. M.
May-flowering tulips, perhaps better
and more correctly known as Cottage
tulips, comprise the many beautiful va-
rieties, practically all late flowering,
found growing in old cottage gardens in
England, Scotland, Ireland and France.
They comprise a wonderful variety of
forms and colors and have none of the
stiffness of other tulips. They are hardy
and many of them live from year to
year and improve, rather than deteri-
orate.
Darwin tulips are late flowering and
are much taller growing than the early
bedding varieties. This late flowering
Five Acres of Daffodils at the Rose Gardens.
Easter, it can be done by giving them
as low a temperature as 42 degrees.
In the Blooming Pots.
After the plants are well rooted in
their blooming pots, it is beneficial to
water them with cow manure and soot
water, to give them the finishing
touches of a glossy foliage and larger
flowers, with a good color.
As to insects, the green fly and
class of self-colored tulips are improved
breeders and iiave come wonderfully to
the front in America during the last
few years. For cutting they are splen-
did and in some sections they flower for
Memorial day.
The cultiv-ation of both these classes
of late blooming tulips differs in no
way from that of the ordinary bedding
sorts. From October 15 to November
15 is a suitable time to plant the bulbs
in your latitude. They make excellent
beds, especially if one variety only is
used, or can be planted in clumps in
flower borders. In the latter case there
is no need of taking them up each fall,
as they improve with age, if given a
good mulch of rotten manure each fall.

FUCHSIAS FOR WINDOW BOX.
The fuchsia is not a window-box
plant, but W. C. Egan, at Highland
Park, 111., uses it as such, in shady
situations. In reply to an inquiry as
to the variety, he writes: "I obtained
cuttings some years ago under the
name Arabella. My gardener thinks it
identical -.with what he knew in Eng-
land as Mrs. Marshall. Lincoln park,
Chicago, had it as Arabella; probably
has it now. I have never seen it cata,-
logued. ' '
SOUTHERN BULB FIELDS.
The southern bulbous stock is begin-
ning to move to northern markets iand
the next few weeks will see immense
quantities of the outdoor daffodils in
all the wholesale markets. Just to
give an idea of the way the bulbous
stock flourishes in the section south and
east of Richmond, here is an illustra-
tion showing a part of a 5-acre field of
daffodils at C. W. Beman's place, at
North Emporia, Va. He calls his place
the Rose Gardens, though the reason it
is known as far west as Chicago is be-
cause of its immense output of daffodil
blooms each spring.
THREE CROPS A YEAR.
Will you kindly give me the names of
stock from which three crops can be
taken in a year! I have heard from
time to time that to make a success of
greenhouses three crops should be taken.
I have planned several, but would like
to hear what others say about the mat-
ter. J. C.
So much depends upon the market
you would have for your products that
it is a little diflScult to answer your
question briefly in such a way that it
will have practical value. The state-
ment that a greenhouse must be made
to produce three crops annually to be
profitable is far from correct. Carna-
tions, occupying benches for ten or
eleven months in the year, are probably
as profitable as any crop grown by the
average florist. The same holds good
with roses. Coming, however, to shorter
season or catch crops, as some may be
termed, a good many present them-
selves. Where two crops are grown,
chrysanthemums, including the early
and midseason sorts, which can be
cleared early in November, followed by
sweet peas, make a good double crop. If
early mums only are grown, antirrhinums
in 3-inch or 4-inch pots could be planted
to follow them and cleared by the be-
ginning of April, when Spiraea Japonica
planted directly in the beds could be
got in for Memorial day, which would
give nice time to clear out and refill
the beds and plant the mums from the
middle to the end of June.
Single violets are another crop which
need not be planted until early chrysan-
themums are gone. The violets are gone
before the end of March. Large-flow-
ered gladioli planted among them about
the last of February would give a good
crop of spikes at Memorial day and un-
til the next crop of chrysanthemums is

to be planted, or if preferred, sweet
peas sown in rows five feet apart, of the
best outdoor varieties, especially the
Spencer sorts, will yield a profitable
late spring and early summer crop. Of
course, where sweet peas are grown
there must be ample head room. Another
combination would be chrysanthemums,
single violets and lilies or spiraea for
Memorial day trade. Still another,
chrysanthemums, single violets and ten
weeks' stocks for Memorial day.
I do not know whether the growing
of pot plants is to be considered or
not. I included Easter lilies, which are
grown largely as a succession crop.
There is a considerable variety of stock
which could be brought in to follow
chrysanthemums. One would be Paper
White narcissi and Koman hyacinths;
later, tulips and narcissi in variety, and
about the middle or end of March fol-
low these with hydrangeas for Memo-
rial day or June trade. A good many
violet specialists now grow tomatoes to
fill in the summer months. Some prefer
cucumbers. The tomatoes come in bear-
ing early in June and prices for indoor
fruit are always much higher than for
the outdoor article. I do not know
what crops would pay you best in your
market. It is often necessary to change
crops year by year. The up-to-date
florist always needs to have something
up his sleeve in the way of a crop his
competitors have not thought of.

SOCIETY OF AMEBIC AN FLOBISTS.
National Show Admissions.
It has been ordered that each mem-
ber in good standing of the S. A. F.
and allied societies holding meetings
and exhibitions in conjunction with the
National Flower Show in Boston,
March 25 to April 1, shall be entitled
to one members' season ticket admit-
ting the owner to the exhibition hall.
Only one ticket, however, will be is-
sued to any one person even though he
belong to several societies. These
tickets will be nontransferable. Orders
for members' tickets are being sent to
all members of the S. A. F. in good
standing; that is, to all those who have
paid their 1911 dues or are life or pio-
neer members. These orders must be
presented to the proper officials at the
exhibition hall and be exchanged for
regular members' tickets. These or-
ders must be presented by the owners
in person, as all orders presented by
others than the owners will be taken
up and canceled.

Double White Killarney — A sport of White
Killarney originating with the J. A. Budlong &
Son Co., Auburn, R. I., In January, 1910. It is
stronger In prrowth than the parent, with the
Bame general characteristics of foliage and
growth. The flower is pure white In color, with
an average of from forty to forty-five petals.
It is a wonderful inaprovement over the parent,
having size and substance in summer, when
White Killarney is comparatively single. The
varietv will be disseminated by A. N. Pierson,
Inc.. in 1012.
Killarney Queen — A deep pink sport of Kil-
larney, originating with the J. A. Budlong &
Son Co., Auburn. K. I., in 1900. that has the
high color of Dark Pink Killarney with an in-
creased vigor In growth. It compares among
Killanicys as American Beauty does with other
varieties, the stem and foliage being much
heavier, and the petals nearly twice the size of
the petals of Killarney. The variety will be
disseminated by A. N. Pierson, Inc., in 1912.
As no objections have been filed, pub-

WATEB ULIES.
I have a steel tank 3 x 12 feet and
wish to grow some water lilies in it.
Would it be necessary to sink it in the
ground, or would the bulbs keep cool
enough above ground? How many
good bulbs should be planted in it?
Could I grow blooming sized bulbs
from seed if planted now? R. F.
tity will suffice for the more moderate
growing varieties. If you use dormant
bulbs, only cover with two or three
inches of water at first. Use a good
bed of cow manure and loam for the
lilies to grow in. It will be much bet-
ter for you to buy dormant bulbs
rather than to try to raise seedlings.
A few suitable varieties of moderate
growth for tank culture are: Nymph-
lea Aurora, rosy yellow changing to
deep red; lilarliaeea. carnea, flesh pink;
Marliacea albida, white; Marliacea
chromatella, bright yellow; odorata,
white; tuberosa rosea, pink. You
could, if you wished, use a plant or
two of other aquatics with your lilies,
such as Sagittaria Montevidensis,
Eichhornia crassipes major, Jussieua
longifolia, Limnanthemum Indicum and
Scirpus Tabernaemontanus zebrina. All
these aquatics, of course, want full
sunshine. C. W.
A FOBEST CITY PLACE.
The state of Iowa is full of flourish-
ing florists. The accompanying illus-
tration gives a view in one of the
houses of the Hill City Greenhouses, at
Forest City. Willard Secor is the pro-
prietor. He is one of the men who did
not wait until he learned it all before
he started in the florists' business — it
looked ^ good to him, so he made the
venture. He has been successful from
the start, watching the business end
himself and placing the technical work
in the hands of a competent manager.
The tank will be better adapted for
the culture of the lilies if plunged in the
ground and the plants themselves will
look better. You cannot grow more
than four bulbs in your tank. It is
better not to have over a foot of water
above the bulbs and half that quan-
HAEDY DOUBLE PYBETHBUMS.
Of what species is the hardy double
pyrethrum blooming in May? . Can it
be grown from seed, and how? E. M.
All are forms of Pyrethrum roseum.
While you can secure some doubles from
seed, the best are only to be had by
division of the roots. If you start pyre-
thrum seeds i;i flats now, plant outdoors
in nursery rows and cultivate well all
summer, you will have strong plants in
the fall, which will flower well the fol-
lowing May and June. C. W.

SEASONABLE
SUGGESTIONS
^sa^^j^rmr^r^^^^r^rsfr^n^r^r^KJ^r^fr^Kr^rs!^
Jerusalem Cherries.
If your Jerusalem cherries are not
already sown, start a batch of them
now. Select a few good berries from
your own plants. They will be just as
good as any you could buy. Pot off
singly when of sufficient size. Gradu-
ally harden off in coldframes after the
middle of April and plant outdoors
about the middle of May. You can
grow them in pots, but the plants lifted
from the open ground will be finer and
more heavily fruited. You can also
propagate from cuttings and get an
earlier crop of ripe fruit. The plants
grown from cuttings are, however, too
low and prostrate and far inferior to
seedlings.
Genistas.
Bring genistas wanted for Easter into
a cool house now. They are better
grown cool all the time and nothing in
the nature of forcing is necessary with
Easter coming so late as it does. The
closely cropped plants so much in evi-
dence are not so pretty nor so salable
as those which are allowed to grow
more naturally. The sheared plants are
too formal and topiary-like and the
bulk of customers seeing the two types
would select those less closely sheared.
Cuttings which are rooted should be
potted off singly into 2-inch pots and
grown along in a cool house; 45 degrees
at night will suffice. Finch off any
flowers they throw, to send more
strength into the growths.
Fancy Caladiums.
Fancy-leaved caladiums need a brisk
heat to start them; unless a night tem-
perature of 60 to 65 degrees is at com-
mand it will be better to leave the
tubers dormant a few weeks longer, but
if you have a warm house shake out
the tubers carefully and stand them in
flats of sand and sphagnum. Only par-
tially cover the tubers and water spar-
ingly at first, or the tubers are liable to
rot. These fancy caladiums are useful
in the summer months, when flowering
plants in pots are scarce and drop
quickly when placed in living rooms,
while the caladiums with their rich
colors last a long time.
Dahlias.
It is much too soon yet to think about
starting dahlias for planting in the field,
or even for retail trade, but there may
be one or two special varieties of which
you may te desirous of increasing the
stock by means of soft-wood cuttings.
Lay these on a bench where they will
get some bottom heat. Scatter some
sphagnum moss about them and give
light sprayings until the growths ap-
pear, when a more generous supply will
be appreciated. Look over the stock of
tubers and remove any decaying por-
tions. Mold spreads fast and affected
portions should be cut off as soon as
they are seen.
Flowering Shrubs for Easter.
Such varieties as deutzias, lilacs, pyr-
us, prunus and Philadelphus Lemoinei, if
wanted for Easter, should be placed in
heat if they are not already there. The
flowering apples, cherries and plums will
open in a month and are better not
forced too hard. Lilacs will still flower
if started in a brisk heat and moved
into cooler quarters as the flowers oj)en.
Deutzias require a longer season to get
them into flower and can be forced
hard, like lilacs, in the earlier stages of
growth. Of course all these flowering
shrubs are better when opened in a tem-
perature not exceeding 50 degrees at
night and come on quite fast in even
this heat during March and April. All
should be freely syringed until the buds
are ready to expand. '
Bambler Boses.
Eamblor roses should now have the
flower trusses peeping, which being the
case they are all right. Carefully avoid
fold drafts, which will surely start
mildew. Also use care in syringing, so
that the plants will be dry before night-
fall. When syringing — and this is neces-
sary' when the plants are being hard
forced, in order to prevent attacks of
spider — select bright mornings for the
work, and if it chances to cloud up be-
fore noon, shake the plants individual-
ly so as to remove as much water as
possible from them. An abundant water
supply is now necessary and, the pots
being filled with active roots, supple-
ment this with liquid manure twice a
week. Do not allow the plants to stand
too closely. Elevate good specimens on
pots, in which case it is a good plan to
place a saucer below them.
Dutch Bulbous Stock.
As Easter comes quite late this year,
it will only take a matter of a fort-
night to flower any of the narcissi,
tulips and hyacinths after housing. In
the meantime they cannot be kept too
cool. A cold cellar will hold them back
later than a frame. If in the latter,
keep board shutters over them to ex-
clude sun heat. See that the pots, pans
or flats are sufficiently moist. As the
bulbs have a mass of roots, they be-
come somewhat stunted if not copiously
watered. Keep the water, however, off
the flower stalks of the hyacinths.
Spanish iris and Gladiolus nanus in va-
riety will need to be growing on now
in a temperature of 50 degrees, or will
be too late.
Spiraeas.
Spiraeas will now be making rapid
growth and will require frequent spread-
ing apart. As the pots speedily be-
come a perfect mat of roots, the water
supply can hardly be too liberal. Use
diluted liquid cow or sheep manure three
times a week. Eaise up the larger
plants on stands or pots, using saucers
under them. A temperature of 60 to 65
degrees at night can be maintained
until the flowers show color, then
gradually lower it. In fumigating al-
ways remember that spira'as are suscep-
tible to injury and give light doses.
That beautiful peach pink variety,
Queen Alexandra, in order to retain its
coloi;, should not le exposed to sun-
shine. It fades out badly in the full
sun.
«
OUTDOOB SWEET PEAS.
Just as soon as the ground can be
worked is the right time to make the
first outdoor sowing of sweet peas. It
is an old and utterly erroneous idea
that we must wait for the ground to
become well dried and warmed before
sowing sweet peas. It is quite true that
if one batch is sown, say, at the end of
March and a second one a month later,
the seedlings of the later sowing
may appear only three or four days be-
hind the first sowing, but compare the
strength of huulm and flower stems and
it will soon become apparent that the
March seedlings have a big superiority.
Sweet peas revel in cool, moist ground,
such as exists when winter is passing.
They get a strong root hold before the
tops appear, whereas the later sowings
have few roots when the tops appear
and suffer much sooner from drought.
If the land was heavily manured and
plowed in late fall, all the better. If
not, do it now, and be sure to plow
deeply. If you want fancy flowers which
will beat those of your neighbors, take
out trenches two feet deep and the
same width; half fill these with rotted
cow manure. Cover with three inches
of loam, then sow the seeds; cover
these two and one-half to three inches
deep, firming the soil well with the
back of a rake. Never mind if the rows
have a hollowed appearance. This will
be something of an advantage when
rain comes. Avoid sowing the seeds
thickly. If you do, have courage to
thin severely. The more space allotted
the individual seedling, the more robust
will be the growth and finer the flower
stalks.

NEW BOSES WORTH GEOWING.
[Extracts from a paper by S. W. Crowell, of
Roseacres, Miss., read at the convention of tlje
Tennessee Nurserymen's Association in Nasiiville,
Tenn., January 28, 1911.]
The subject of this paper is, in my
judgment, one of paramount importance
to the nurseryman who sells roses in
any quantity. His endeavor should be
to supply his customers with the best
roses extant that are suitable for the
purpose required. This end can only
be attained by planting and testing the
more promising varieties in his own
grounds, as they appear from year to
year. The time has passed when, with
only an assortment of cheap, indifferent
varieties, he may present his wares to
an overindulgent buying public and
hope to reap the full benefits there-
from and still retain the confidence of
the buyer.
We live in an age when to stand
still means retrogression, and retrogres-
sion inevitably means elimination. Ex-
pansion from small things into great,
and from great into still greater things,
is the rule of progress all the world
over. What satisfies the wants of today
will prove totally insuflScient for to-
morrow, and the marvel which excited
our wonderment yesterday is today
calmly accepted as a matter of course.
The prosperity of an industry must de-
pend upon its healthy, constant growth,
and the country in which it is located
will increase or diminish in prosperity
in accordance with the success or in-
competent management of that indus-
try. It is well for the craft that the
buyer is now demanding the best that
grows — skill, proper selection of varie-
ties, scientific fertilization, careful cul-
tivation, storing and shipping — in other
words, the best obtainable product.
This is the day of good roses. The wise
dealer will take notice and profit
thereby.
An Awakening.
By way of illustration, I have in
mind a customer who must have felt
that a rose was just a rose, regardless
of name. His shop worn lithographed
book, which delineated in pronounced
colors the beauties of such sorts as
Prairie Queen, George the Fourth,
Seven Sisters and others of like nature,
covered the list of roses with which he
hoped to embellish the gardens of his
customers and help, in some measure,
to mend nature. He asked that we
supply a few hundred plants of Mme.
Plantier for a certain planting, and
before booking the order we suggested
that he use Frau Karl Druschki. He
promptly told us that he knew his
business. When the order went for-
ward, we included ten plants each of
Druschki, Capt. Hayward and a few
other desirable varieties, and requested
that these be planted in his own
grounds and watched for results. The
following summer and fall there was a
revelation for this man. A new condi-
tion was about him. A new field was
open for greater and earnest exploita-
tion. He saw the writing on the wall.
He is now doing a profitable business,
besides giving every customer a rose
that will beautify any nook or corner in
which it is planted, "a thing of beauty
and a joy forever."
The Need of Trial Grounds.
If the rose grower would do his work
well, it is absolutely necessary that he
establish a trial ground upon his own
premises. This may be accomplished
without much extravagance and it is
not only necessary with roses, but
should be done with every type of fruit
or flower. It is only now and then that
we find a Coehet, Killarney or Druschki,
but it is the only method by which
actual comparison can be made with the
older commercial varieties and where
all conditions are actually the same.
To make these tests with fruits is
often quite expensive, but the love of
the work should appeal to the laborer.
If the task seems too arduous to him,
he should leave the craft and let those
who are willing to labor for the greater
good take his place. However, with
roses and various ornamentals the ex-
pense is only nominal, and no rose
grower or dealer should ever offer a rose
for dissemination until it has proved
worthy. This is quite necessary, for
the reason that the buyer is often wary
and does not care to make investments
when there is a possibility that a new
rose will fail to make good. This should
appeal to the vendor. The old path
that father walked, the old rut, the
old variety, the old woodcuts that did
service years ago should be laid aside
for the new order of things that are
sane and of mutual int;erest to all.
We Must Fay for Experience.
A new rose is always an object of
consideration. After it is planted and
proves to be distinct, the interest in
it is twofold. A new pleasure is found
and an added avenue toward material
advantage is given. The one makes us
better morally; the other fills in a
space that usually needs replenishing
with many of the craft, for the needs
are many. But, after all, we must pay
for experience, and should only one
good rose be found in a list of fifty or
even 100 varieties, the investment
would still be profitable, not even con-
sidering the knowledge obtained by the
experiment. And, on the othei* hand,
sliould our trials and experiments prove
futile as to dollars and cents, we owe
something to the creators and dissem-
inators of new roses. We should step

SHADING.
The sun now lias considerable power
and it is necessary to give shade to
palms, as even under ground glass
it strikes in brightly and will soon
cause the foliage to become pale. A
light coat of naphtha or kerosene and
white lead, applied through a garden
pump or syringe or by means of an
ordinary whitewash brush on a long
handle, will spread the shading satis-
factorily. Such ferns as adiantums,
especially the Farleyenses, must have
shade. On the other hand, the tougher
fronded nephrolepises will stand and are
indeed benefited by a fair amount of
sunlight.
Houses where flowering plants are
kept until sold should have the glass
shaded, as this keeps the temperature
down.
Temporary shadings only, in the way
of cheescloth or paper, should be used
for seedlings or cuttings. Shading the
glass makes them drawn and weak,
especially when we get a succession of
sunless days, as is not infrequent in late
winter.
ASTERS.
The earliest sowing of asters will
have been transplanted before now and
be well established in flats. These will
prove useful for planting on any spare
bench or benches, and they will give a
GEOWING VIOLETS IN TEXAS.
I have received so much valuable in-
formation from the replies to other
people's questions in The Eeview, that
I have now decided to ask a question
of my own through its columns. Can
any florist near my locality, south-
central Texas, tell me when to plant
violets for winter blooms and what
varieties to plant? I planted Cali-
fornia and Princess of Wales and main-
tained a night temperature of 45 to 50
degrees. I succeeded in growing beau-
tiful, long, green, healthy leaves, but
hardly any blooms. The plapts pre-
tended to bloom, but "faked it" with
only a few poor flowers. I want in-
formation in regard to planting for
next season. H. L. N.
There are few violets grown under
glass in or near this city, Austin, which
is in the same general locality as that
violets are always those which are
grown the coolest. For this reason
flowers produced in coldframes in a low
temperature and without any artificial
heat are always of a deeper blue than
those grown in greenhouses, C. W.
DEEER ' S NEW ESTABLISHMENT.
Eiverview, the new plant of Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., has been fully described
iu The Review during the course of its
construction, but the house warming at
Kiverview, March 8, when some 200
guests from Philadelphia, New York,
Baltimore, Washington and other cities
inspected the range, presents a favor-
able opportunity for picturing the new
establishment. The Dreer corporation
never does anything by halves, and has
built at Eiverview the first section of
a thoroughly up-to-date plant-growing
establishment. One of the illustrations
presents an exterior view of the range.
Another shows a typical interior, this
house being occupied by the variegated
pineapple. The third view shows one
end of the service building, which is
one of the most important features of
the establishment.

valuable lot of flowers when carnations
are getting poor and ahead of the out-
door aster crop. This is a suitable time
to make an additional sowing of such a
variety as Queen of the Market for out-
door planting. There is plenty of time
yet to sow such standard sorts as Vick's
Branching, Victoria, Ostrich Plume,
Comet and Scmple's.
The ground on which asters are to be
planted is always better broken up the
previous fall, especially if it is in grass,
and left rough over winter. If this
has not been done, do the necessary
plowing or spading as soon as frost is
out of the ground. A liberal dressing of
well decayed barnyard manure makes
the best fertilizer, but where this
is difficult to secure, harrow in
1,000 pounds per acre of a good
comp}ete chemical fertilizer a week
or two before planting. While as-
ters will grow in almost any soil,
they succeed best in a moderately strong
loam of good depth. If the soil is of
good thickness, no matter how long and
severe the summer drought may be, the
plants will show few ill effects if the
surface is kept persistently cultivated.
referred to by H. L. N. The best re-
sults may be obtained by having strong
plants in 2% -inch pots to plant out in
September, in coldframes, where the
plants can be protected during cold
snaps. If the beds are below the out-
side ground level' and well drained, so
much the better. Do not give any
artificial heat, but plenty of air at all
times. When grown in greenhouses,
the hot, sunny days promote leaf
growth, l3ut produce few blooms.

TO GIVE VIOLETS MORE COLOR.
What is there to give my violets more
color? F. H. R.
You do not state whether you are
growing single or double violets. If
doubles, the variety Lady Hume Camp-
bell is naturally light and cannot by
any course of treatment be made to
produce blooms of the deep color of
Marie Louise. In the case of single
violets, grow them cool and airy, and
after the early part of March a little
shade on the glass will help to prevent
the flowers fading out. The best colored
medium sized plants. Most of them
are making money; that is, the owner
is getting his living and paying some-
thing on the mortgage, or building
more houses, or buying other property,
as the case may be. But a great many
are not paying the amount of profit
that they should, considering the capi-
tal invested. These businesses must of
necessity consist of diversified produc-
tion. It is not often that a man may
specialize in one thing, or even as few
as half a dozen things. Also, the
methods of handling the business and
the accounts have not been reduced to
a system. Because the production is so
diversified and because the system for
handling it is so inadequate, there are
great chances for losses on unprofitable
items which nearly eat up good sized
profits on the successful items.
"How," it is asked, "can we tell
just how much profit or loss each item
is making? Our labor and other ex-
penses are divided over so many things
that we cannot tell what amount goes
to each, whereas the big fellow who
has so much space, so many men, so
much fuel, etc., for this product and so

much for that product knows just how
he stands on each. ' '
Did it ever occur to you that per-
haps one reason why the big fellow has
become a big fellow is because he has
kept posted and played only the win-
ning games?
I will admit that the man who grows
miscellaneous stock is handicapped in
keeping records, but are you doing the
best you can? You cannot tell how
much it costs to grow Killarney and
how much it produces, when you have
a bench and a half in a mixed house;
while the man who grows a section
finds it possible to figure profit or loss
almost to the penny. Are you keeping
track of the number of blooms? This
will mean something to you, even
though you cannot tell what they sell
for. Are you growing three shades of
pink carnations that are nearly the
same and yet will not go with each
other, when the same number of plants
in either of the three would enable you
to fill larger orders? I have noticed
that the larger a place becomes, the
fewer varieties there are grown.
Things That Never Pay.
There are many things that show
themselves to be unprofitable without
figures if a person just goes over the
list and gives them a little thought.
There are palms that have been kept
from one year to another until they
have become too large for the custom-
ers' needs. "When this happens, they
are a dead loss, taking up space and
producing nothing. They should be dis-
posed of to firms that use the larger
sizes, and the space filled with stock
that can be turned. A lady once called
up a florist and informed him that her
palm had died the day before. Most
of us cannot be so definite on such a
subject; neither can we tell the exact
date when a plant ceases to be profit-
able, but we should try to come as near
it as possible, because poor guessing or
indifference means steady losses.
Often there are pets in the shape of
vines or plants that have grown up a
post or in the end of a house, that year
by year get larger, shade the other
stock and sap the strength from it.
They often produce flowers that are
handy for funeral work, and for this
reason are allowed to keep on growing.
It is well to stop once in a while and
decide whether or not such a vine is
producing more than it is damaging.
Then there is stock kept year after
year that produces nothing, yet the
owner does not throw it away. I know
of a batch of orchids that do not have
and can not have proper attention.
They produce practically nothing. The
owner says he can not afford to throw
them away, and he is ashamed to offer
them for sale until he gets them into
better shape. They never get into bet-
ter shape, and they owe three years'
board bill already.
The Thing to Do.
Stop for a moment and figure. A
total loss on one bench eats up all of
a twenty-five per cent profit on four
other benches. You would be just as
well off with none of the five. If the
loss is half of total it eats up the
profits of two others producing twenty-
five per cent profit. You would be just
as well off with none 6f the three.
This shows how important it is to have
every square foot producing.
To keep posted means to take some
time once in a while from the general
rush of business, collect what figures
are available, and guess as intelligently
as possible on the rest. Then you are
in a position to decide what is paying
and what is not. Of course, the next
step is to drop the unprofitable, or, if
it is something that has to be kept,
devise means to make it profitable.
Hoosier.
SMILAX FROM SEED.
Please tell us how to grow smilax.
How long does it take for the seed to
germinate? J. W. E. & C.
The seed of smilax will germinate in
from two to three weeks in a warm,
moist house. Sow in flats of light,
sandy compost. Pot off singly into 2-
inch pots before the seedlings get
crowded. Later shift into 3-inch or
31/^-inch pots, and from those plant out
in a greenhouse where a night tempera-
ture of 55 to 60 degrees can be main-
tained. Solid beds are much preferable
to raised benches, and a generous com-
post containing plenty of well rotted
cow manure should be used. Plant out
in June or July, eight inches between
the plants, a foot between the rows.
Strings, which should be of green
twine, must be run up for the shoots
to cling to before they can become
entangled. Keep a moist atmosphere
and syringe freely to keep down spider.
After the strings are cut keep the roots
dry for a time. Then give a liberal
top-dressing and resting and start up
for another crop. You should have no
trouble in getting three crops in a
year. The old roots may be carried
over for several years, but the general
and better plan is to plant young stock
annually. C. W.
Hoffmans, N. Y.— J. C. Hatcher is
sending out his new asparagus in thrifty
stock. One requirement for' the suc-
cessful growing of it is plenty of drain-
age— the more the better. This variety,
Ilatcherii, is said to be a freer grower
than plumosus, producing a much
heavier string, bushier and a longer
keeper. It is said that strings cut three
weeks ago and placed in the basement
cooler, recently built, look as fresh as
when first gathered.

March 9, 1911.
SOME NEW THINGS.
, [A paper by E. (i. Hill, read before the Illi-
nois State Florists' Asisuelatlou at Urbana, Feb-
ruary 9, continued from The Review ol
February 16.]
Carnations.
Following the rose comes the carna-
tion, but after the recent symposiums
in the trade papers little is left to say,
for they were sifted as the fine dust of
the balance. Among recent novelties
Pink Delight and Mrs. Ward seem ab-
solutely sure of permanent place; also
Scarlet Glow wherever it can be grown
with a strong stem, and Dorothy Gordon
as a substitute for Rose-pink Enchant-
ress. It is not only a duty but a privilege
to test the few offerings of the present
year, as they give promise of outrank-
ing in their several colors, and we shall
probably soon need substitutes to take
the place of the four standards which
are now so hard worked in every carna-
tion establishment.
Wodenethe is one of these aspirants
for place; it will be sent out next year.
It is probably the most perfect white
carnation in existence, and those who
saw it in 1910 at Philadelphia and at
magnificent Mrs. David Syme, E. F.
Felton, Well's Late Pink and Glacier.
Strongly entrenched already in favor
with the trade as money-making com-
mercials are Chadwick Improved, love-
ly in its purity of color; Chas. Eazer, a
grand white of perfect, approved form
for shipping; Cfanford Pink, the pretty
early English variety; Elise Papworth,
a fine all-round white for every pur-
pose; Heston White and Winter Cheer,
clean-eut and close-clipped, perfect in
color tone. To these will be added
Golden Gem, round as a ball and com-
pact, and the lovely new singles. What
interest would be lost to the yearly
procession should the mum family drop
out!
Miscellaneous Plants.
Among miscellaneous plants Julius
Peterson is to be warmly congratulated
on his Lorraine begonia, Cincinnati.
While surpassing the parent in beauty
of habit and of color, its splendid keep-
ing qualities make it a house plant of
wonderful effectiveness and durability,
while the parent variety always gave
concern for fear it might speedily "go

the National Bose Show will be ready
to greet it with open arms when dis-
seminated.
Chrysanthemums.
In mums we can hardly wait for
autumn to roll around to see the Wells-
Pockett and other accepted novelties
display their splendors. It is one of
the keenest pleasures of the floral year,
and the long wait only whets the ap-
petite.
Among last year's novelties which
we are impatient to see again are the
down ' ' on removal from the greenhouse.
(!incinnati probably ranks as premier of
the entire list of pot plants.
Wilhelm Pfitzer, of Stuttgart, has
given us a new white gladiolus, Europa,
which in all probability will rank with
America in necessary qualifications for
the American trade. This is bound to
meet a hearty reception.
Then there is the comparatively new
heliotrope, Centefleur. It is worth all
the other varieties put together where
a mass of glorious color and waves of
fragrance are desired. Compact and
clean, this variety will give the helio-
trope a new place as a garden plant.
Some cut flower grower will soon take
up and grow successfully the lovely
double gypsophila, one of the prettiest
things that I saw abroad. I am sure
that its dainty beauty would make a
place for it. It adds grace and ele-
gance to any bunch of flowers where
it is used.
Wlntzer's Cannas.
To Antoine Wintzer belongs the
credit of producing the finest cannas
in existence, excepting only King
Humbert. His Venus was a revelation
to everyone who planted it, and now he
has made a further record with Mrs.
Alfred Conard, a lovely peach pink,
with petals as long as they are broad.
The canna is no longer a foliage plant
only, but is now a blooming bedder,
producing the most stunning color
effects procurable.
Nothing can excite more enthusiasm
among plantsmen than the excellent
new hydrangeas raised by Mouillere and
Lemoine. Tbese varieties of tpe Hor-
tensia type are certainly of int^^est to
all who use this useful plant for pot
culture. They are crosses between
Hortensia, Otsaka, rosea and others of
the class. There has been a long lapse
of time between the old Hortensia and
the present improvements. Bouquet
Rose, Henri David, Mme. Mouillere,
Radiant, Mont Rose — these are a few
of the ten or a dozen distinct improve-
ments in this noted family of plants.
A striking and beautiful novelty
seen at Bruges, Belgium, was the new
marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander. It looked
much like a chaste and beautiful
anemone-flowered chrysanthemum. It is
a glistening, pure white flower, produced
on long stems. I can imagine no more
useful plant either for the production
of white flowers or as a pot plant. If
it does as well in America as it did at
Bruges, it will certainly prove a most
valuable commercial plant.
This is far from a complete list of
novelty offerings for the year, but
enough to engage the time and atten-
tion of the progressive florist for the
present.
CHARLES J. MALOY.
Thirty years is a long time to work
on one job, but Charles J. Maloy has
spent his entire business life in the
firm of EUwanger & Barry, Rochester,
N. Y. There are few nurserymen more
widely known than Mr. Maloy. Going
with EUwanger & Barry as soon as he
had finished his course in the public
schools of Rochester, where he was
born, he quickly made his way into re-
sponsible positions and is now assistant
secretary of both the EUwanger &
Barry Nursery Co. and the EUwanger
& Barry Realty Co. Mr. Maloy also is
secretary and treasurer of the Orna-
mental Growers ' Association, an organi-
zation of nurserymen whose interests
lie chiefly in the production of orna-
mental stock. Mr. Maloy is a member
of practically all the trade societies
the interests of which concern the
growing of plants in the open ground,
and wherever a willing worker is
needed he is to be found.

A CORN DECORATION.
At Columbus, O., the Livingston Seed
€o. conducts an up-to-date seed store
and also does a large business in cut
flowers. The decoration of the store
always receives attention, and many
seasonable or timely displays are made.
The accompanying illustration shows
the decoration arranged by Fred M.
Brownwell during the recent national
corn exposition at Columbus. The per-
gola was decorated with southern wild
smilax and ears of corn.
OROWINQ ASPARAQUS FOR SEED.
For the benefit of myself and other
growers of Asparagus plumosus nanus,
will you please publish the best method
of growing asparagus for seed? I have
a small bed, 4 years old, which gave
me a large quantity of seed this year
for the first time, and I should like to
know whether I can grow another crop
on the old vines or should cut down the
old vines and mulch for new sprouts.
They are planted in a solid bed.
F. N. B.
The best method to follow in this case
would be to cut down the old growth,
give a good mulching of well rotted
manure and start a fresh growth. Do
not water too heavily until the new
growth gets a start, but after the young
shoots get away nicely the bed will
take an abundance of water. With
plenty of food, such a bed should con-
tinue to produce satisfactorily for sev-
eral years. . W. H. T.
OAS LIME.
What is gas lime? Where can I get
it and how should it be used? E. M.
Gas lime is a by-product of gas works
and is to be obtained there only. As
a general rule, the companies are will-
ing to give it away. It is useful to
apply to land which is badly infested
with cutworms, wireworms and similar
pests. A light dose, 300 to 400 pounds
per acre, in late fall or early spring
will go a long way toward ridding the
ground of these pests. C. W.
CINCINNATI.
The Gateway to the South.
Business is good, but the supply in
some lines is so large that it is not
possible to clean up regularly. The
wholesalers could have told in a moment,
without any outside information, that
Lent was here. For a few days after the
beginning of this season consignments
from the smaller towns seemed as
though the flowers had all suddenly
come into crop. The purchases of others
in this market fell off slightly. This
week the latter came back strong and
business is going its old merry way.
Carnations are one bright feature
locally. The warmer, clearer weather
continues to bring them in stronger; in
fact, so much stronger that the market
can scarcely absorb all. The stems and
color are both in good shape. The
Enchantress varieties, White Perfection,
Beacon and C. C. Murphy's new seed-
ling, are the best. There is such a
strong request for white that they are
snapped up quickly every day.
Eoses have taken second place, tem-
porarily so, perhaps. More good teas
might have been used, especially in

pink. The supply of pink and red is
short, while white is apparently equal
to the demand. Still, at times it seemed
that more of these, especially of short
and medium grades, might have been
used. The call for Beauties is good,
while the supply is not what it should
be.
The larger quantities of lilies offered
bespeaks the approach of Easter. The
first part of this week the quantity of
this flower was more than the market
could readily use. Callas continue in
large supply. The other bulbous stock
is of good quality as a whole, and a
large part of it finds a market. The
prices realized, however, are none too
high.
Single violets are forcing the doubles
so hard that they have practically made
them a back number. The latter are
now generally used only in work. Sweet
peas and valley are in oversupply. Mig-
nonette, marguerites and forget-me-
nots are offered. The supply of orchids
is easily sufficient for the demand. The
green goods market is well supplied.
Various Notes.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society will be held Monday, March 13,
at P. J. Olinger's, 128 East Third street.
Mr. Olinger will provide refreshments.
Those of the Queen City who expect
to attend the National Flower Show
are Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell, Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Peterson and E. Witter-
staetter. The last named will be one of
the judges at the show.
Wm. Murphy is now settled in his new
quarters at 309 Main street and is
pleased with the change. He will use
the first floor for cut flowers, the second
for offices and supplies, the third for
moss; the top floor for wire-work, and
the basement for fertilizers and bulbs.
The rapid increase of Mr. Murphy's
business is the reason for this change
to the more commodious quarters.
The Miami Floral Co., of Dayton, O.,
is a heavy consignor of Easter lilies
to C. E. Critchell and, according to ad-
vices from George Bartholomew, the
manager, expects to have 10,000 or more
for this market for Easter.
February 25 the marriage of Geo.
Durban, Jr., of the Northside Flower
Store, and Miss Amelia Stible was
solemnized at a large church wedding.
After the ceremony all adjourned to a
feast at the bride's home.
Tom Windram left for Leesburg, Fla.,
early this week.
Eddie Bossmeyer, of C. E. Critchell 's,
is on the sick list.
Geo. Klotter, of West Price Hill, has
been sending fine forget-me-nots to L.
H. Kyrk.
The Anglo-Importation Co., under the
management of Mrs. Thaden, will open
in the Sinton hotel March 17. Flowers,
fruits and wines will be handled.
Clarence J. Ohmer, of West Palm
Beach, Fla., is shipping Asparagus
plumosus to E. G. Gillett.
Miss Margaret Anstead, of E. G. Gil-

BESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
"We both have them.
Time to be making your preparations
for Easter.
The twenty-second assessment of the
Florists' Hail Association will be levied
April 1, 1911.
The price of linseed oil still is climb-
ing, and with it the cost of glazing
materials is going up.
If there is one part of the country in
which the florists' business is expanding
faster than in other parts of the country,
that fastest growing part is the Pacific
northwest.
The year 1911 will see an increase
in greenhouse area considerably greater
than the building record of any previous
season. The new glass will run into
millions of feet.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Keview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Although Lent has cut little figure in
the cut flower business the last year or
two, this season the week following Ash
Wednesday has been dull in almost
every big city market, which is the
strongest of evidence of quiet times in
the country at large.
GOOD MEASUBE.
It is a pleasure to feel that one is
giving full measure and that the fact
is appreciated:
Please discontinue our ad of Vlnca varlegata,
as we are sold out. The classified department
of The Review is a great seller; It always tries
to sell more than a fellow has for sale. — Ragan
Bros., Springfield, O., March 6, 1911.
You have done your share of the work so well
it will not be necessary for me to use any more
display ads this spring. I am about cleaned up
on dahlias; gladioli sold out. — W. K. Fletcher,
Des Moines, la., March 6, 1911.
OBITUARY.
Patrick Fogarty.
There passed away at Toronto, Ont.,
Sunday, March 5, one of the oldest
florists in that district, Patrick Fogar-
ty. Mr. Fogarty was 70 years of age
and had been in the florists' business
since he was 13 years old. He was born
at what is now known as the corner of
Scott and Wellington streets, in Toronto,
in what is now the busiest section of
the citj'. He soon moved to the east
end and lived there continuously up to
the time of his death. For many years
he found a ready market for his plants
in the old St. Lawrence market, before
there were anj flower stores on Yonge
street. Mr. Fogarty had been ailing
for the last four years, but up till then
had been actively engaged in the busi-
ness. During the course of his career
he had built up an enviable reputation
as a pansy grower, his stock being
known all over the province. He is
survived by three sons, all of whom are
engaged in the florists' business.

The National Flower Show commit-
tee announces the following additional

Show, schedule of which will be issued

John K. M. L. Farquhar, Sec'y.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
Lent has made practically no
difference in the flower business
in Chicago in the last year or two, but
it-will take a great deal of argument to
convince the wholesalers that it is not
affecting the trade this season. Ash
Wednesday and the following day busi-
ness was exceedingly dull. Friday a
number of large shipping orders for
special sales purposes cleaned up the
market in fair shape, though, of course,
at low prices, and Saturday, March 4,
local demand by the special sales con-
tingent was fair. The present week
opened with light demand and no pros-
pect of a clean-up in the market until
the latter part of the week, when prices
doubtless will be made cheap enough to
move the accumulation, whatever it is.
Keceipts at the beginning of this
week were not heavy, which is the only
salvation for the market, as prices
steadily are weakening. Roses hold
their own much better than other
flowers, and better than was expected.
Beauties are in light supply and should
there be active demand trouble would
be met with in filling orders. Of other
roses there are enough to meet all re-
quirements. It is again possible to pro-
cure short roses at moderate prices. The
bulk of the stock continues to be of the
better grades and it is on these that
the sale is slowest. There are calls for
thousands of the medium lengths where
the orders require hundreds of the extra
long stems. The quality of the roses
leaves nothing to be desired.
Carnations continue to come in heav-
ily, but erratically; some days all the
growers seem to take a vacation, and it
is necessary to call in supplies if orders
are to be filled. Wholesalers comment
on the fact that the call is for the me-
dium grade of roses, but that nothing
but the best of carnations will do.
Consequently there is a wide range
between the values of the best stock
and the medium and lower grades. The
accumulation of last week was jobbed
off March 3 and 4 at the lowest prices
thus far quoted this season.
Not all the wholesale houses handle
violets in large quantity, but those who
do the bulk of this business had
trouble last week, and it still is with
them. Locally grown Princess of Wales
Mabch 9, 1911.

f
splendid Stock In Large Supply
The season has arrived for featuring the Carnation in all the steadily increasing
number of retail flower stores that look to us for their supply. We have never had
a finer lot of stock, nor do we recall a season when prices have been more reasonable.
Write for quotations on thousand lots — push for business and you will find this one
of the most profitable seasons of the year.
SWEET PEaS
For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never
have had at this date such fine stock or such large quantities as now. Extra
long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as
white and pink. We are shipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great
quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction.
Killarneys
To the users of the best grade of Killarneys it will be good news that
our crop once more is large— the quality always is the best in this market.
While we have a fair supply of short to medium, the greater part of the
crop is the Select and Special grades. The color in the pink Killarney is
exti a good. We never handled finer roses, and we invite all retailers who
want good stock to order some of these.
Our liongr BEAUTIES Are Extra Good Quality
Valley
Fine Valley is something you need
every day in the year. We always
have it. Order of us and get the best.
Violets
You get the cream of the crops,
double or single, when you order
of us. Thousand lots our specialty.
Easter Lilies Bulb Stock
We can supply Easter Lilies
every day in the year, fine quality.
Tulips, all colors ; Daffs, JonquUs,
Paper Whites in large supply.
CATTLEYAS
Our orchids are home-grown, and you always can get your orders filled
if you place them with us.
Also place orders with us for hoine*en^wn Gardenias.

Mention The Review when vou write
continue to come in heavily and of good
quality, selling fairly well. The Hudson
River stock last week came in consider-
ably heavier than heretofore and the
quality in many instances is finer than
usual at this date, but sales have been
extremely slow. Even for the Saturday
bargain day it was not possible to make
a clearance, though many sales were
made as low as $1.50 per thousand for
the stock that had been standing around
for the better part of the week. Of
course the best of each day's arrivals
are selling at fair prices, but the de-
mand is so much less than the supply
that only a small fraction of the re-
ceipts realize regular prices. Sweet peas
are somewhat more abundant. The qual-
ity is exceptionally good and sales are
fairly satisfactory. There are, of course,
many short-stemmed peas that realize
little. Some of the growers have not
yet awakened to the fact that peas, to
be profitable, must be good. Bulbous
stock is coming in more abundantly, in
spite of the fact that during Lent many
seek to reduce their shipments. Some
extremely good tulips are to be had of
such varieties as Murillo and Couronno
d'Or, but other tulips are well sold if
they realize 2 cents. Eomans are not
often seen and Paper Whites are less
abundant, as is freesia. Daffodils and
Jonquils are plentiful. There is an abun-
dance of Easter lilies and callas and
valley is slow sale, weddings for the mo-
ment not being numerous.
The green goods situation remains
quiet. Ferns are now generally held at
.$3. Boxwood is selling fairly well.
Asparagus bunches are scarce, but there
is a good supply of strings. Smilax is
less plentiful. Adiantum is in slightly
better request.

Mention The Review when you write
a second floor space in the Bryant &
Stratton building on Randolph street,
opposite the Public Library. The room
is 45x80, with freight elevator, light
and in every way well adapted to the
wholesale cut flower business. Occupy-
ing the room with Budlong will be
Sinner Bros., M. C. Gunterberg and
probably others now in the Flower
Growers' market, though Mr. Sinner
states that he acted for his firm and
not for the Flower Growers' Co., of
which he is manager, in the negotia-
tions just concluded. The room will be
fitted up in first-class style. Removal
is to be about April 1.
One of the interesting features of
the deal is that it marks the market's
further progress eastward on Randolph
street, toward Michigan avenue, to
which thoro'ighfare many observers
think the cut flower business will gravi-
tate. The location is two doors east of
Randall and Angling.
Club Meeting.
Vice-president A. C. Kohlbrand occu-
pied the chair at the meeting of the
Florists' Club, March 2. President Phil-
pott postponed his monthly trip from
Winnipeg so as to be here for the trip
to Boston. The transportation commit-
tee reported that arrangements had been
made to go via the Lake Shore, leaving
at 5.30 p. m. March 23, arriving at Bos-
ton the evening before the National
Flower Show opens. All who will go
were asked to notify E. F. Winterson,
of the committee, 45 Wabash avenue,
who will reserve berths. If a suflicient
number make reservations a special
train will be run; otherwise special cars
will be carried on the Lake Shore
Limited, one of the finest trains in the
world. Of those present A. T. Pyfer,
August Jurgens and C. W. Johnson sig
nified their intention of going.
The bowling committee reported that
two teams will go to Milwaukee on the
11:30 train, March 19, for a match with
the Milwaukee Florists' Club bcSwlers.
They invited all the rooters to go along.
Harry F. Gray, Wm. Wolf, R. E.

The exhibits of the evening consisted
of vases of White Wonder and Gloriosa
carnations from F. Dorner & Sons Co.,
Lafayette, Ind. A committee consisting
of C. W. Johnson, P. Olsem and H. N.
Yepsen scored Gloriosa eighty-six
points, entitling it to the club's certifi-
cate. White Wonder had suffered so
that it did not show its true form, so
was not scored.
J. G. Schuman, of Bassett & Wash-
burn's, Hinsdale, brought two blooms of
Killamey that each had nearly thirty
petals, and stated that he had a plant
in charge that had produced blooms
with thirty-six petals.
Joseph Kohout reported on the trip
of the club members to the meeting of
the Illinois State Florists' Association.
The session closed with a discussion of
matters concerning express shipments,
in which the representatives of the ex-
press companies paid good natured com-
pliments to each other. The shippers
present agreed that the practice of the
companies that solicit routing orders
from the out of towrt buyers should be
discouraged.
Eeinberg's Planting
Peter Reinberg is planning to bench
the quite considerable number of 220,-
000 ciarnation plants for the season of
1911-12. Here is his list of varieties
and number of each:
White Enchantress 25,000
White Perfection 36,000
White Lawson 6,000
Enchantress .'^S.OOO
Wlnsor 30,000
Rnee-pink Enchantress 30,000
Mrs. Lawson 30,000
Beacon 25,000
Total 220,000
February Weather.
Tlie month was exceptionally warm
for February, the mean temperature be-
ing 32.4 degrees. It equaled the aver-
age of February, 1890 and 1909, and
has not been exceeded since 1882. The
percentage of possible sunshine was
forty-four, as compared with the normal
of fifty, and the total precipitation, rain
and melted snow. 2.27 inches, was close
to the average.
Various Notes.
Peterson Nursery has just put up a
propagating house 22x50.
Allie Zech was on the sick list
March 7.
The Kenwood Co., of which George
Wagner is one of the stockholders, in
its articles of incorporation declares the
florists' business to be one of the lines
in which it will engage.
O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
says that White Perfection takes the
St. Patrick's dye better than any other
carnation.
W. W. Randall is again at St. Louis
on business for the A. L. Randall Co.
A. L. Randall himself is at West Baden.

St. Patrick's Day
Will fall on the 17th of March this year* and in all proba-
bility for several years to come, but several other things have
fallen in the last few days, which will probably interest you more,
as it includes nearly everything in the Cut Flower line, notably
in Roses and Carnations; in fact, everything is lower in price
and better in quality. Increased supplies in nearly everything
now coming in; only shortage, long stem Beauties, and there is a
fair supply of these. BulbOUS ptock plentiful, also Easter
Lilies, Callas and Valley. Violets are coming iu heavy.
Ferns have advanced to $3.00 per 1000; other Greens remain at
the old price.
St. Patrick's Green
This fluid will absolutely color white carnations, or other white
flowers, a vivid Irish green. One quart is sufficient to color three to
four hundred carnations. One pint, 50c ; one quart, $1.00 ; six
pints, $2.75 ; six quarts, $5.00.

The Market.
The market became almost demoral-
ized at the close of last week, and at the
opening of the present week showed no
sign of recovery. There were more vio-
fets left over March 6 than this market
ever was called on to distribute in a
day. Some of the wholesalers had as
high as 100 boxes on hand. The whole
market feels, as it has not for years, the
advent of Lent, and to this may be
added the increasing daily shipments.
Roses, especially, have fallen and few
commanded a higher price than 8 cents,
and from this down rapidly to $1 per
hundred. Carnations also struck a lower
level and 1 cent to 2 cents was the pre-
vailing quotation; only the selected
novelties were higher. The best Amer-
ican Beauties seem to be the only stock
that held at anywhere near its real
value. Most of the Beauty stock is
mediocre and "slow of sale. Even the
street was offering the short-stemmed
ones Saturday. For cattleyas 50 cents
was top, though a few Mossise touched
60 cents the first of the season. Gar-
denias are lower and lilies of all kinds
have fallen. Bulbous stock of all kinds
is overabundant. Yellow tulips were
selling at 10 cents a bunch March 6.
The retailers' windows are gay with
blooming plants of all kinds. The signs
of an early spring are abundant. The
general expectation is that the present
week will see the end of winter. The
nurserymen already are busy with their
early shipments, the seedsmen are work-
ing night and day, and the plantsmen
are already almost sold out of Easter
blooming stock. Everyone seems to be
anticipating a remarkably good holiday
season.
Various Notes.
The plant auctions, including roses,
bulbs, hardy shrubs and evergreens, be-
gin Tuesday, March 14, at Elliott's and
NacNiff 's, on Vesey street, the center of
this branch of the business.

If the market changes in your favor, we give you the benefit of the change at once, either in a higher
grade of flowers, or a reduction in price. That is worth something to yOU.

that our shipments represent the largest value to be had in Cut Flowors.

PHII.ADELPHIA.
The Bising Eastern Market.
The first week of Lent has been dull
in the cut flower market. Business has
fallen away decidedly. Prices are low-
er; the average prices much lower, job
lots and leftovers playing havoc with
the total of sales. Yet there is
no special increase in the sup-
ply. The weather is decidedly Marchy
— cold, snow, clouds, just enough sun-
shine to encourage growth after the
long, dark winter.
Beauties are the only staple flowers
that hold their price of a week ago.
This is due more to the extremely light
cut than to any special demand. The
better grades of Richmond, Bride and
Killarney are firmer than the shorts,
except in white, where values hold fair-
ly. Carnations are in an unhappy state,
needing Mothers', Fathers', Daughters'
and Sens' days to cheer them up into
fresh life. Prices move downward.
They take pushing of the hardest kind.
The lower grades of white are more
sought than the lower grades of colored.
Valley is in only fair demand. The
market is overstocked at times, with oc-
casional periods of improvement. Sweet
peas are falling off a little in quality.
The prices have in consequence attract-
ed the cheap buyers, who are using
them in quantity. Violets are the weak-
est feature of the market; because the
violets have increased in numbers with
the arrival of Lent, low prices rule.
Atlantic City is the bright spot in the
violet cloud. Many flower lovers spend
Sunday at the city by the sea and the
violet sales there are excellent. Gar-
denias are rather scarce, with values
fairly well maintained. Cattleya
Schroederae is not up to the market
standard of orchid merit when there
is a chance of securing Trianse. Callas
are abundant. The withdrawal of the
support of the large decorations has
left them without a sufficient outlet.
Easter lilies are in better shape. All
bulbous stock is down. This time the
southern daffs cannot be blamed. The
cold weather has retarded the army to
follow last month's scouts. Southern
arbutus has come, i

House Warming at Eivervlew.
About 200 guests of Henry A. Dreer,
Inc., left Market street wharf at 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, March
8, to visit the new 2-acre greenhouse
plant at Kiverview. Nearly one-fourth
of this number were from New York,
Baltimore and Washington, while over
one-half were members of the Philadel-
phia Florists' Club, the remaining
fourth being made up of persons inter-
ested. There were no formalities — ^just
a hearty welcome from each and all of
the hosts, an inspection of the magnifi-
cent new plant, with the well appointed
power house, and a generous collation
in the well named service house. The
party left the iBiverview station of the
Pennsylvania railroad at 5:15, reaching
the city a half hour later. The affair
was a great success.

CLEVELAND.
The Market.
Roses continue on the short side so
far as Cleveland is concerned, although
there is an abundance of all the spring
flowers. Business has continued excel-
lent, so that all stock is cleaning up in
good shape, though much heavier pro-
duction in all departments is momenta-
rily expected because of the better
growing weather.
Organize to Advertise.
Friday evening, March 3, the florists
of Cleveland held another meeting
around the supper table at the Hof-
brau, the attendance numbering twenty-
nine. As a result of the meeting the
Flower Club was organized, with the
following ofiiccrs:
President— H. P. Knoble.
Vice-president — C. M. Wagner.
Second vice-president — F. W. GrifSn.
Secretary — Harry D. Jones.
Treasurer — F. E. Williams.
The action was the result of a meet-
ing held February 24, at which there
was discussion of the subject of general
publicity for the flower interests of
Cleveland. It was the general opinion
that Cleveland does not consume half
the flowers that should be used in a
city of this size, the reason being that
the flower business is not exploited as
it should be. Mr. Knoble was the
prime mover and suggested the plan of
inviting each florist to contribute, pro
rata to his volume of business, to a
publicity fund to be spent in running
advertisements in the leading daily
and Sunday paper, the advertisements
to have no name signed and to be
published in the interest of the
whole trade in the city. At both
the first and second meetings there was
general discussion of the details of the
proposition. After the election of offi-
cers committees of five members each
were appointed on publicity, finance
and entertainment. It was arranged to
meet once a month for the present and
it is hoped to accomplish much in a
broad sense for the flower business of
Cleveland. Everyone will be asked to
aid in the work, grower, wholesaler and
retailer.
Various Notes.
C. D. Fell, of Knoble Bros., has been
on the sick list for a couple of weeks,
but is now able to be about again.
The Cleveland Florists' Club antici-
pates taking a big delegation to Boston

dent of the S. A. F., is working with
the intention of filling all the berths.

BOSTON.
The Market.
Clear skies, heavy supplies, moderate
demand and a considerable slump in
prices have been features of the open-
ing week in Lent. Of late years there
has been less of a cessation in social
festivities, but the clear skies follow-
ing a comparatively dark month caused
a congestion, not at all uncommon at
this season. Roses are much more plen-
tiful and, while they clean out toler-
ably well, it is only at a sacrifice in
values. The quality remains of the
best. Carnations, while abundant, clean
up tolerably well, but values have been
slaughtered. The warmer weather has
taken considerable color out of flowers
of pink shades which were not picked
fairly close. Violets are overabundant
and they need to be gilt-edged stock to
bring 50 cent« per hundred. Many are
sold at half this price and some even
lower. Another fortnight of clear
weather will see a large part of the
singles in houses picked, but doubles
usually carry us along until May. Sweet
peas are arriving in tremendous quan-
tities. While some make 50 cents to 75
cents per hundred, there are others sell-

ing as low as $1.50 per thousand. Some
of the best stock now has stems fifteen
inches long.
Bulbous stock, which sold well dur-
ing February's cloudy weather, is now
something of a glut. Double Von Sions
are in heavy supply and it is surprising
that 80 many of these coarse looking
flowers are grown, when the singles
are so much more beautiful and usually
less expensive. Victbria, Sir Watkin,
Emperor, Golden Spur and poeticus or-
natus are the narcissi seen in greatest
abundance. Hyacinths are abundant
and good, but do not sell well. An-
tirrhinums are fine but away down in
value. Lilies and callas are each heavily
oversupplied and lily of the valley is
hard to move. Marguerites are more
plentiful, but sell well. There are still
a fair number of Cattleya Trianae and
an abundance of dendrobiums and
coelogynes. Gardenias are arriving more
freely. Adiantum is coming of better
quality and sales of aspai'agus and smi-
lax continue quite good.
Various Notes.
Everything is progressing swimming-
ly for the S. A. F. National Show. The
clearer skies ;which have been vouch-
safed to us of late were just what many
growers were praying for, and those who
had some doubts about their rambler
roses and other plants being in season
are now feeling happy. In every city
and town in Massachusetts which one
visits the chief topic now is the Na-
tional Show, and the tremendous de-
mand for space shows that even the big
Mechanics' building will be taxed to
accommodate all the exhibits.
The many friends of H. S. Chandler,
of Tewksbury, were pleased to see him
back in the market again last week.
Mr. Chandler broke a bone in one of
his ankles a month ago.
John McFarland, of North Easton,
showed a beautiful seedling cattleya,
C. Dowiana x C. Lawrenceana, at Hor-
ticultural hall March 4. The sepals,
petals and exterior of the lip were of a
rich rosy color. The yellow coloring in-
side the lip clearly showed the influ-
ence of C. Dowiana. This plant was a
seedling raised by W. W. Lunt, and Mr.
McFarland has been nursing it along
for over six years.
Extra fine antirrhinums are now
arriving at the flower markets from,
among others, B. P. Winch, Framing-
ham; J. G. Holmes, Saugus, and W. J.
Dana, Wellesley.
At present callas are unusually abun-
dant in the markets and of extra fine
quality. A few who grow these in quan-
tity are William Patterson, of WoUas-
ton; J. T. Butterworth, of South Fram-
ingham; William Capstick, of Auburn-
dale; Paine Bros., of Eandolph, and
Willow Hill Greenhouses, of West Kox-
bury.
Trade in shamrocks is now becoming
quite active in the markets. Leonard
Cousins, of Concord Junction, has many
thousands, as also has William Nichol-
son, of Framingham. The latter has an
extra fine lot of marguerites at present
and his Godfrey callas are popular.
John Barr's new variegated carna-
tion, Mrs. B. P. Cheney, continues to
keep up the excellent reputation it has
made. For so large a flower, it is an
unusually prolific bloomer and it is fea-
tured in several of the most up-to-date
retail stores.
At the greenhouses of E. B. Dane^in
Chestnut Hill, where Donald McKenzie
has charge, is to be found what is prob-
ably the finest private collection of
orchids in America. A house of phalse-
nopsis is a grand sight at present. There
are also scores of rare and choice
cypripediuras and other varieties in
flower.

tion for Easter. The firm is cutting

a bow there, and always a Raedlein imported basket or pot cover to hide the ugly clay pot and

Your plants may be far superior to any others in town, but unless they are set off with the

the downtown florists. They have also
had a big run of transient business of
late and are disposing of thousands of
bunches of violets and carnations.
TheoMreather has been fine all tile
week and stock of all kinds and in all
grades has become so plentiful that the
wholesalers have been unable to dis-
pose of it all. Prices, too, have come
down considerably during the week. A
lot of roses of extra good' qiMtHty are
coming in, especially Killarney, White

St. Patrick's
Carnation Fluid
Directions for Use.
To get the best results put the stems of flowers
in about 2 inches of fluid, leaving them there
about 30 minutes. After talcing them out of fluid
put them right in water for about two hours,
which has a tendency of forcing the fluid up to the
bloom and making that pretty shade of green.

He is the local agent for the Burton-

The regular buyers at the wholesale

Fred Aloes, of George H. Angermuel-

and presented to Mr. and Mrs. George

Charles J. Bleeckert is supplying the
local store men with extra fine bloom-
ing plants. Mr. Bleeckert says his
Easter stock is coming along finely.
George H. Angermueller received
large consignments of fine bulb stock
and carnations. He says his green car-
nation dye is meeting with a good call.
Charles W. Fullgraf, William Bouche,
John Houlihan and William Mackle,
landscape gardeners, say that the fine
weather of late has put them to a test.
Their entire forces are at work and
mote men are needed.
The Kirkwood growers last week sent
in great lots of carnations, sweet peas
and violets. Everyone seems to be in
crop now, with an abundance of stock
of good quality. All four of our whole-
salers received some of the consign-
ments.

most florists know full well how to
appreciate business when it comes their
way. Nevertheless, no one seems to be
complaining, for trade has kept up sur-
prisingly well, even if it has been rather
spasmodic, and if the lenten season
continues as well as it has begun the
florist will be in a good position to con-
gratulate himself.
Of course, at such times some things

be overstocked with them, so that it is
necessary to make occaBional sacrifices
along this line. The carnation crop
continues to get heavier, but up to the
present time none of the supply has
been wasted, though at times it is neces-
sary to cut on the price and send out
some job lots. The same can be said
of roses. Bulbous stock is not in heavy

Club Banquet.
A great success in every respect was
the third annual banquet of the Day-

the evening of March 1 at the Hotel
Phillips. Nearly all the members were
present, accompanied by their wives
and sweethearts. The tables were beau-
tifully decorated in seasonable style,
which displayed the artistic tastes of
the Dayton florists. The menu proved
to be a most interesting part of the en-
tertainment, and all present did justice
to it. A splendid program was fur-

Mr. Florist, you can easily double your salies of plants by offering them in these self-
watering devices, for the very simple reason that the plants wiU live and thrive in them, in the
homes of youT customers, in spite of careless watering, and the better success your customers
have, the better your reputation will be for selling good healthy plants.
We are selling these boxes all over the United States to florists and consumers. We much prefer to sell them
through the florist only, and give him the benefit of our publicity advertising and a handsome profit besides.
If you doubt tlieir efficiency, send us a trial order and return the goods to us if they prove different from our claims.
We are now making a complete line of Brass and Copper Fern Dishes, Boxes, etc., all equipped with the
self-watering device. Write at once for our catalogue and get in line for Easter.

sprung by the ladies, who all gave short
and appropriate toasts to the gentlemen.
Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Frank favored the
guests with several vocal selections,
which were immensely enjoyed, and at
the close the entire company sang
"Should Auld Acquaintance Be For-

Unfortunately, Warren G. Matthews
was prevented from attending the an-
nual banquet on account of sickness in
his family. He was on the program for
a paper on ' ' The Sterilizing of Soil' aiid
the Hybridizing and Chemicalizing
of' the Chrysanthemum for Future

A. Miller, representing the Skidelsky

side trip to Dayton, March 5, where he
celebrated his birthday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartholomew. Mr.
Miller is on his way home to Texas to
visit his relatives, whom he has not seen
for ten years. He expects to remain
there about two weeks.
The Miami Floral Co. has a splendid
crop of lilies coming on for Easter and
the roses and carnations are also in a
flourishing condition. The firm reports
business to be most gratifying.
The Dayton Floral Co. has just re-
ceived a large shipment of box trees, all
sizes, from Holland. They emphatically
state that the lenten season "cuts no
figure ' ' with their business, as they are
kept busy filling orders.
Word comes from Arno Hendrichs,
who is now in Jacksonville, Fla., that
he is having the finest kind of a time,
thoroughly enjoyisg the southern
climate.
Among the visitors during the last
few days were Fred Lempke, of the
W. W.' Barnard Co., Chicago; Mr. Sperl-
ing, represen^Hr^he Stumpp & Walter
Co., New York city, and Henry Ehr-
hardt, of Sidney, O.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weber and
daughter, Gladys, of Cincinnati, O., were
the guests of the Bartholomew family
last week.
The Heiss Co. reports that, while
trade last week was not quite as brisk
as in the preceding week, yet results
were quite satisfactory.
There does not seem to be much en-
thusiasm among the Dayton florists re-
garding the National Flower Show at

to get away.

20 in plant boxes: Petunias, alyssums,
mignonettes, nicotianas, lobelias, sal-
vias, salpiglossis and nasturtiums?
F. H. E.
Petunias and lobelias should be sown
now. Salpiglossis, salvias, nicotianas
and nasturtiums need not be sown be-
fore March 20 or the end of the month.
The three last named all make rapid
growth. Mignonettes and alyssums
would also be in time if sown
towards the end of the present
month. It would be well not to
try transplanting the mignonettes into
flats, but keep them in pots, as they are
not easy annuals to transplant. In fact,
all the plants you name would give
more satisfactory results if grown in
pots singly than when pricked out in
shallow boxes. C. W.

ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help-
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and

represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not
represented aqd "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion.

WESTERLY, E. I.
Among those who have come rapidly
to the front in the florists' business
here is Conrad S. Schultz. Three years
ago he purchased the old H. G. York
greenhouses, on Beach street, and re-
modeled the store and greenhouses. In
addition to this store and range, he
jmrehased one year ago the Smith green-
liouses, on Quarry Hill, and was for-
tunate enough to secure Charles Meyer,
formerly of Eeuter & Son, to take
charge of this range.
Business with Mr. Schultz has grown
rapidly, for. in addition to doi«g a
large retail trade in Westerly and Ston-
ington, he also does a considerable
wholesale business. Thomas Young, of
New York city, handles all of Mr.
Schultz 's surplus stock. He expects to
])ut up two more large greenhouses this
season, and tliese, with the two ranges
he now has, will make him one of the
largest wholesalers and retailers in this
vicinity. This has been a case where
perseverance, together with a thorough
knowledge of the business, has won for
him gratifying success. B.

The Market.
The opening week of the lenten sea-
son had but little deteriorating effect
on the flower market in this city, owing
to the large number of big funerals
that occurred. The last two days pre-
ceding Ash Wednesday were marked
by an unusual mimber of entertain-
ments and other social functions and
flowers were in good demand. The

clearing weather last week sent all
kinds of blooms forward so that the
supply has been fully equal to the de-
mand. There was a slight falling off
in prices. Everywhere preparations for
Easter are in evidence and the report
from the growers seems to indicate that
there will be a plentiful supply of every-
thing. On Saturday, March 4, nearly
all of the downtown florists held a cut
price sale on violets in opposition to the
drug and department stores. Several
hundred thousand blooms were thus dis-
posed of at 15 cents per bunch of twenty-
five, as against 19 cents for similar
bunches by the other stores.

drawing increasingly large audiences as
the season advances.
Carlos Jensen, representing L. Daehn-
feldt, cabbage and cauliflower seed
grower, 'at Odense, Denmark, is prepar-
ing to make a trip through the United
States in April.
C. E. Kendel, secretary of the Amer-
ican Seed Trade Association, states that,
although it has been decided not to hold
the 1911 convention at Milwaukee, be-
cause of lack of hotel accommodations,
no other city has as yet been selected.
At a meeting in the store of Barteldes

It is simplicity itself — a Stecher job.
FERRY'S CANADIAN BRANCH.
The proposed reciprocity treaty be-
tween Canada and the United States,
which names seeds among the articles
for the free list, will have no effect on
the plans of D. M. Ferry & Co. for the
Canadian branch yi Windsor. Since
the destruction by fire of the old D. M.
Ferry building, on the Windsor river
front, last spring, the company has been
occupj'ing temporary quarters with the
intention of erecting a suitable build-
ing for the Canadian interests of the
firm. A lot 90x100 feet, at the corner
of McDougall and Sandwich streets,
was purchased last summer. Plans are
now being prepared for the building.
The structure will bo of reinforced con-
crete, four stories at least in height.
Ground will be broken within a few
weeks.

NATIONAL SEED LEGISLATION.
The seed trade always has deplored
the method by which seed legislation is
considered in Congress. While the deal-
ers in garden seeds never have admitted
any need for legislation, the grass seed
interests would welcome the enactment
of a national law prohibiting the im-
portation of seeds unfit for planting.
Seed legislation always has come up
during the seedsmen's busy season, and
consideration has been by means of a
public hearing before a large committee.
The conditions have not been favorable
for getting a final and right decision
of the whole question. In the hope of
getting such a decision as will put a
satisfactory end to the agitation, at the
recent hearing in Washington George
S. Green, of the Illinois Seed Co., Chi-
cago, proposed the appointment of a
commission to cons«der the whole ques-
tion with deliberation — but the con-
gressmen did not take kindly to the
idea. Here is the germane part of the
dialogue:
Mr. Green. I believe we are here
constructively, not obstructively, and in
furtherance of this constructive method
I have this final suggestion to make.
Mr. Mann has said that he thinks there
is no probability that action will be
taken on this bill, 29163, at this session
of Congress. I want to suggest that
as' soon as practicable after the urgent
work that you people in Washington
have in hand is attended to, a commis-
sion be appointed of three congressmen,
preferably from this committee, three
expert seed analysts, or representatives
of the national or state departments,
three experienced grass-seed dealers,
and three garden-seed dealers.

Early Dpright
Numerous readers of The Review
will recognize this as a popular
novelty of last year. Many Flo-
rists claim they got more flowers,
larger blooms and longer stems
than they could grow of other
early kinds, because it grows as
vigorously and yields as abundant-
ly as many of the Late Asters.
The flowers are solid, ball shaped
and considerably above the aver-
age in size. A medium early
variety which haa been a money
maker wherever tried. Two col-
ors: White and Lavender Pink.

ASPARAGUS SEED

G. H. HUNKEL CO. •.* SEEDSMEN
MILWAUKEE, WIS.
Mention The Review when you write.
Mr. Richardson. Do you not take
any of them from the Agricultural De-
partment?
Mr. Green. Yes; three seed analysts
from the Agricultural Department; in
other words, scientific men versed in
the testing of seeds.
Mr. Richardson. You struck this
committee at an unfortunate time. We
have just had a good deal of experience
about getting scientific boards or com-
missions.
Mr. Green. I am sorry for that. We
like the scientific fellows pretty well,
sometimes; and sometimes we do not.
They are like all people; they are prone
to error at times.
Mr. Adamson. I suppose he thought
this committee looked like a good group
to select hayseeds from. (Laughter.)
Mr. Green. Gentlemen, speaking se-
riously, some such method as that is
likely, in my opinion, to prove far more
effective for proper regulation of the
seed trade of the country — ^of the grass
seed trade of the country, as these gen-
tlemen [the garden seed dealers pres-
ent] wish me to correct myself — than
any such hearing as this in the brief
time at our disposal.
Mr. Townsend. Did I understand that
improvements are being made all the
while; that this is growing better con-
stantly by the agitation you and these
gentlemen are giving to the subject?
Mr. Green. I would not like to put it
personally that way. But things are
growing better by the general agitation.
Mr. Townsend. The farmers are grad-
ually coming to understand that it pays
to plant good seeds rather than weeds?
Mr. Green. Yes; and gradually be-
coming more and more willing to pay
for them.
Mr. Esch. How many states have
regulations against seed adulteration?
Mr. Green. I do not know whether
there is any gentleman here who could
answer that question accurately or not.
Mr. Boyles, could you?
Mr. Boyles. I think Mr. Smith, our
attorney, could answer it better than I.
Probably there are twelve. I think
there were five bills introduced this
winter.
Mr. Esch. Is there any uniformity in
the standards fixed by those states?
Mr. Boyles. A few states have stand-
ards fixed, but most of them have not.
Most of them have realized the unwise
feature of standards.
Mr. Green. I am perfectly in earnest
about this commission.
The Chairman. You are just wasting
breath on it.
Mr. Richardson. Do not think about
a commission.
Mr. Adamson. I do not think you
could pass any sort of a commission bill
through the House now.
The Chairman. In view of the fact
that no one can distinguish between
many seeds that pay a duty under the
tariff bill from those that come in free,
we might refer it to the tariff board.
Mr. Richardson. Take these gentle-
men sitting around here; they have
plenty of sense and they understand

this seed business, and if they come and
tell us a plain tale do you not think
this committee can pass on it fairly?
Mr. Green. I have great confidence
in the fairness of this committee.
Mr. Richardson. They will pass upon
it fairly after hearing you gentlemen
giving facts and statements; we do not
want any commissions.
Mr. Green. I have confidence in this
^^-committee. I do not care whether you
have scientific men on it or not. But
I would like to get together with some
men where I could have an interchange
of views with them.
Mr, Richardson. They would bring
their report in and we would probably
not pay any attention to it. But you
come in here, practical men, talking
common sense, and the committee has
no other purpose than to do what is
right for the good of the country, and
we will pass on it all right, instead of
having a commission.
The Chairman. We have been mak-
ing progress in reference to this legiala-
■ tion, I think; do you not, Mr. Green?
j Mr. Green. Yes; I think there is
I very marked progress,
j The Chairman. On both sides?
Mr. Green. Yes.

learned some things and so has the seed
trade.

Mr. Green. Yes, sir.
The Chairman. And we are much
nearer now than we were when we re-
ported the bill originally?
Mr. Green. Yes, unquestionably.
The Chairman. I think after a while
we will find you will come in here, as
some people did the other day on an-
other bill to which they were opposed
some years ago, and all advocate a
proposition.
Mr. Green. I think so.
Mr. Richardson. I can tell you what
you could expect if you got a commis-
sion. You would expect this committee
to take the verdict of that commission
and act on it.
Mr. Green. No; I would not expect
that of any congressional committee.
I would think that the report of that
commission would receive due weight.
Mr. Hubbard. You would expect
them to agree with you, would you not,
substantially, and if so, they would sim-
ply come here and say what you would
say, would they not?
Mr. Adamson. You would like to
know that the commission has your
views when you parted, would you not?
That is generally the situation.
Mr. Green. Yes.
Mr. Eichardson, You would give the
commission your views, and you would
expect them to carry them out.
Mr. Adamson. Nobody wants a com-
mission except to adopt his views.
Mr. Green. Yes. We have great con-
fidence in them, because we believe our
views are right.
Mr. Eichardson. You see, we have
seen all that demonstrated with other
commissions, and we are tired of them.
THE DAVIS SEED CO.
The incorporation of the John B.
Davis Seed Co., Sturgeon Bay, Wis.,
was reported in this column a few
weeks ago. The following is from a
recent issue of the Sturgeon Bay Advo-
cate, where it appeared under the head,
"Shipbuilders Engage in Seed Busi-
ness " :
"A new seed company that will bid
for the patronage of the public and
good will of the farming community in
this county the ensuing season is the
John B. Davis Seed Co., recently incor-
porated under the state law. The or-
ganization is composed of John B.
Davis, president and general manager;
August Eieboldt, vice-president; Jo-
seph Wolter, treasurer, and Jos. M.
Schauer, secretary. Each one of these
individuals is well known in the busi-
ness life of our city and is counted
among its most stable and reliable
citizens. Mr. Davis, the head of the
concern, has for a number of years
been identified with the W. W. Bar-
nard Co., and is therefore well known
to the farming community of the
county. The new company will make
its headquarters in the building and
premises formerly occupied by the W.
W. Barnard Co., the latter having with-
drawn from the county entirely. The
company are seedsmen, growers of

SEED NOTES FBOM HOLLAND.
, Writing to one of the English trade
.iournals, a Hollander said under a late
February date:
"In general the farmers here prefer
to sow their summer crops early, and
some of them have alreadv sown beans,
peas and spinach. Seed growers at
Andijk are already planting cabbages
for seed. This early sowing and plant-
ing may cause heavy losses if we get
some days of sharp frost, but at present
the plants are budding. Several grow-
ers around Andi.ik are laying out gar-
dens to grow rhubarb. Kale crops look
well, and this article yielded well in
North Holland, but this culture is going
backwards in the Gron districts, as in-
sect pests destroyed the seed crops dur-
ing several years.
"After a two years' slow trade in
nasturtium, a demand has again sprung
up for it, and the leading English
houses have placed contract orders in
this country. Large quantities of nas-
turtium are grown yearly on the Zea-
land Isles. Several acres of curled
Mustard Southern Giant will be grown
here this summer for the American
trade."
Lily bulbs have two arch
enemies — green fly and too
much water. When lilies are
bad, one or both prevail as a
general thing. Of course,
sometimes the bulbs are at
fault, but 75 9^ of the time
they are not. Any grower
who permits his lilies to be
infested with green fly doesn't
deserve good lilies. He has
no more business to allow
green fly on his lilies than
he has to allow fleas on his
body. Again, a grower will
permit a greenhorn to water
the bulbs, whereas it takes a
man who knows how and
when. Any grower who buys
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum
Lily Bulbs and gives them
the attention they deserve,
cannot help but have first-
class lilies at any time of the
year, with a minimum of loss.
There are positively no better
bulbs grown anywhere in the
world and no one takes as
much pains toward quality
as the producers of the Horse-
shoe Brand Products.
Of course, they cost more
than others, because they cost
more to produce. But they
don't cost more than they are
worth. Try them.

The Market.
Business last week was nothing start-
ling; counter trade was normal and
funeral work kept down tbe surplus.
The continued sunshine is improving
matters wonderfully, yet the carnations
are a little off crop. Roses are unu-
sually scarce, with a heavy demand.
Violets are plentiful, but daffodils are
scarce and it is impossible to supply
the demand, although other spring flow-
ers are hard to move.
Potted stock is plentiful, especially
tulips and hyacinths. The question of
greens is alarming; there is practically
no asparagus on the market and smilax
is running low; shipments from Cali-
fornia are usually of poor quality, being
grown on the outside.
Sweet peas are becoming more plenti-
ful and bring top prices.
Various Notes.
C. C. Taylor, representing the Ken-
tucky Tobacco Product Co., of Louis-
ville, is calling on the trade this week.
L. W. Judges, of North Yakima,
Wash., stopped over on his return trip
from the south.

win, Mamaroneck, N. Y., is in town.

is in town, talking sweet pea seed.
Louis Goodfriend, representing Wer-
theimer Bros., is also here. E. R. C.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
The Market.
The weather last week was quite a
mixture of rain, hail, snow and drying
winds. As a consequence stock of all
kinds, with the possible exception of
violets, has been scarce. This has been
particularly noticeable with everything
in the lin^e of light-colored flowers and,
as there has been quite a bit of funeral
work distributed among the retailers,
much scurrying for roses and carnations
has resulted. A big wedding February
28 used all the orchids in town and
neighboring cities, as well as a goodly
assortment of other kinds of stock. Val-
ley is in fair supply and daffodils, al-
though showing the rough weather, are
in suflieient quantity to fill require-
ments. Narcissi are not abundant and
are quickly bought when brought to
town. Freesias are holding out well
and have proved to be a valuable flower
when all blossoms are only in limited
supply.
We are looking for more moderate
weather and if the signs are correct
we shall be favored with it in a few
days. The fsct that Lent has arrived
will put a quietus on some lines of
trade for quite a while, but the funeral
orders do not show any signs of dimin-
ishing at present.

and will supejsede all other red varieties now

your attenHoh instantly when planted in a col-
lection of Dahlias, for it is one of the most showy
flowers ever created. True decorative, bright
scarlet, showing a darker shading in center, bold
erect flowers. 6 to 8 Inches in diameter, with ex-
cellent stem, foliage of remarkable substance.
height 5 to 6 feet, good keeper and will not burn
in hot weather, and is a freer bloomer than either
parent. This variety has been tested by me for
three years and has shown no weak points.
A vase of 50 blooms shown by me, also a basket
of them exhibited by Sievers Floral Co., of San
Francisco, both carried tint prizes in the Fall
Flower Show la San Francisco, and caused more
comment among gardeners and vibitors than any
other exhibit. Cut flowers sold for the Brst time
last year brought 50 per cent more than any other
variety of dahlias, including Joe Thomson.

spring flower show has issued its list
of premiums. As the proceeds are to
be donated to a charitable institution,
the awards will consist only of diplomas
and certificates of merit. A. J. Kossi
will manage the show, which will be
held Marcn 30, 31 and April 1 at the
Fairmount hotel.
Much ill feeling exists among the
street hucksters in the neighborhood of
the Chronicle building. Within the last
few weeks the Greeks and Turks have
reduced the ])rice of violets to 5 cents
a bunch and this is not pleasing to the
Italians, who are the pioneers in this
branch of the trade. Meanwhile the
dear public continues to patronize
whichever faction happens to sell
cheapest. G.
OUTDOOR MUMS IN OREGON.
I should like to know whether chrys-
anthemums can be grown outside by
having a framework built over them
for cover in case of storms or frost in
the early fall. Will they grow large
enough to be of commercial value?
L. A. P.
This query comes from Oregon and it
is only necessary to remind the corre-
spondent that not over one per cent of
the chrysanthemums grown and mar-
keted on the Pacific coast are produced
under glass. The largest fields are in
the neighborhood of San Francisco,
where the climatic conditions are ideal
for the developing of quantities of
blossoms with the least effort. Al-
though the weather is slightly different
in Oregon, the writer has seen many
patches of well-paying mums in the
northern country. They are essentially
a fall flower and covering is not re-
quired, unless for the late flowering of
particularly delicate sorts. It is true
that a much finer flower can be grown
if a light shading is used, and there is
no more grateful blossom in the flo-
rists ' category when any extra atten-
tion is shown them, and any effort to
assist will always be met with an extra
fine output on the part of the plant.
Late blooming kinds will need some
protection from early frosts and an ex-
cess of moisture on the petals, but for
anything outside of this, if judgment
is used in the selection of varieties,
there will be no difficulty in growing a
well-paying crop without paying much
attention to the subject of shading.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
March started in with a grand rush
and the wind raged at a terrific pace
for about twelve hours. Slight dam-
ages were reported, but nothing really
serious happened. The weather then
moderated nicely and it has been pleas-
ant since, with a bright sun. Stock has
not increased or, properly speaking, the
business has demanded considerable
stock and no surplus has accumulated
as yet. From close observation, the
large demand seems to be more the rea-
son for the scarcity than the lack of a
good number of blooms per plant. Every
occasion now demands more or less flow-
ers, and as this custom has been in-
creasing rapidly, we do not seem pre-
pared for it. Call it what you may,
the stock has not been overplentiful for
months, and even now the lenten sea-
son has not been noticed to any extent.
Funeral work has been plentiful and

this feature has used a tremendous
amount of stock.
Last week the usual Saturday sales
were displayed and some lively compe-
tition ensued. The result was violets
selling at 25 and 35 cents per bunch
and carnations two dozen for 35 cents.
This method may be all right, but it
hurts the trade in general and makes
money for nobody.

GRANGES IN POTS.
May I ask to be informed as to the
orange which is grown as a pot plant
for Christmas and Easter? What va-
rieties are they and what is the name
of the base on which the small-growing
varieties are grafted? I did some of
the grafting in Germany, but cannot
remember the names of stock and scion.
Where could such plants be obtained;
also can thev be grown from seeds?
M. L.
The oranges in pots, commonly seen
at Christmas and later in the winter,
are commonly called the Otaheite,
which is really a dwarf form of the
common sweet orange, but which by
some is supposed to be a hybrid be-
tween an orange and a lemon. The
leaves resemble those of the lemon.
The flowers are pinkish. Under pot
culture fine fruiting plants no more
than a foot high can be produced. The
botanical name of the Otaheite orange
is Citrus Aurantium Sinensis, although
it has also been called C. Aurantium
Otaitense. Stocks are usually raised
from seed. Some of these might give
desirable fruit, but many would not.
DON'T FORGET
in the present rush of work, that you'll need stock
later on. For example, there's your

APHIS ON LETTUCE.
I noticed in The Review of February
23, page 62, the inquiry of W. E. C. in
regard to green aphis on lettuce. T
have been growing lettuce for about
fifteen years and have had convincing
evidence that prevention in this matter
is worth more than all the cures put on
the market. I have often been in the
difficulty he speaks of, especially in
the earlier part of my experience.
My practice now is to get tobacco
stems at a cigar store, run them
through a cutting machine, and then,
immediately after planting a bed,
cover the soil lightly between the plants
with these stems. Later, when the
crop is about half grown, I repeat the
dose of stems and thus avoid all trouble
with green fly.
Of course, when a crop becomes badly
infested it is hard to get rid of the
pests, but if you start in with the
young crop and keep right after them
in the way I have suggested, you will
be surprised to find how easy it is to
have clean lettuce, and that means
quick sales. But if there is a bug on
the lettuce, the good housewife will be
sure to see it and will quickly lose her
appetite for the vegetable.
I never smoke my lettuce houses and
have never used cyanide, yet I have
not seen a dozen aphis on my lettuce
this winter. The secret of success, in
this as in everything else, is everlast-
ingly keeping at it. No matter if there
are no bugs to be seen, give them a
dose of cut tobacco stems regularly
and "keep on a-keeping on," as
Speaker Cannon says. H. L. Clapp.
THE CANNA OF TODAY
"Antoinc Wlntzer. the dean of Caona hybridizers In America, has 3(XJ0 Oanna BeedllDirs
on trial this season. Of these fully :iOO have been marked for further trial. His efforts In
securinK promiBing varieties are more than usuallir successful; the experience of 17 years,
aided by a favorable season, has produced splendid results. A flower that would have
been conslden d an improvement 10 years ago is scarcely noticed now; size, substance,
color, form, foliage, each and all must be better than in some existing variety, or the
claimant is discarded."
Extract from "The Weekly Florists' Review." Sept. 22. 1910.
Describing a visit to our Nurseries.
We have introduced in the past dozen years about 75 varieties of Cannas,
most of which are still prominent. Our introductions have not been confined
to any certain class or color, but represent the best to be had today in practi-
cally every color and class. Take for example the Yellows— We suppose every
florist in the United States knows the BUTTERCUP, which was one of our
earliest introductions. And you know GLADLA,TOR ? If not you surely
should, so distinctly is it marked with brilliant red spots on a solid yellow
ground and a fiery red tongue in the center. But this week we want to intro-
duce to you a now variety, BRILLIANT. This is one favorite with the
Department of Agriculture at Washington. A bed of these on our office lawn,
last summer, called forth repeated praise. It has the same pure, brilliant
yellow as the Buttercup, but is far more striking as a result of a bright red
center petal, which is a regular eye-catcher— You would Hke BRILLIANT;
you could not help it.
If we had the space, we would like to introduce to you the giant, orchid-
flowering, heat resisting, praise winning Cannas, WYOMING and INDIANA,
six and seven feet, magnificent foliage. They are majestic in every sense.
Wyoming with its orange color; rounded petals and handsome purple foliage—
and Indiana almost a ])rototype with green foliage.
The above varieties can be supplied at 75c per doz. ; fo.OO per 100, subject
to stock unsold. We have other yellow varieties, but none letter than these;
all of which are our own introductions.
BRILLIANT, 90c per doz. ; $7.00 per 100.

APHIS ON LETTUCE.
I noticed in The Review of February
23, page 62, the questions of W. E. C.
in regard to aphis on lettuce. From
my experience, I cannot believe that
fumigating will ever effectually rid one
of the pest. It might do so if only
leaf lettuce were grown, but only a
spray will get at the insects in the
head lettuce. I have used nicotine ex-
tract with satisfactory results, putting
about a teaspoonful of the liquid in a
gallon of water and spraying the let-
tuce thoroughly with an auto-spray. If
the spray is used at night the aphis
will have disappeared by morning and
no ill effects will come from eating
the lettuce at once.

NEW BOSES WORTH GROWING.
[Continued from pagre 13.1
to the front and give not only our moral
support, but actual money in trying out
those things that give promise of honest
and real advances over existing types.
The list of new roses which I submit
for your consideration embraces only
those sorts which have been thoroughly
tested, and T am confident they will
stand up under all normal conditions
and prove worthy of any attention that
* the grower may wish to give. These
varieties have been under observation
from two to five years, and my notes
thereon have been strengthened by tests
made in other sections of the south,
and, of course, under varying climatic
conditions. The varieties in question
are considered wholly from a garden
viewpoint, and in connection therewith
comparisons were made with all of the
older varieties, of similar characteris-
tics, now commercially grown.
Hybrid Tea Boses.
Antoine Rivoire is the best hybrid
tea of its color. Not a new rose, but
many retail houses fail to realize the
value of this variety. There is no gar-
den rose of greater substance. Color,
creamy white, with delicate pink tinge.
Aurora is another variety which has
been overlooked. An honest rose, that
is always doing something just right.
One of the best varieties, doing well in
all soils. Color, clear, bright pink.
Full and very double, fragrant and con-
stant in flower.
Betty is a bold rank grower, one of
the best fancy colored garden roses.
Long pointed buds, opening into a per-
fectly formed bloom. Always beautiful.
Color, coppery rose, overspread with
srolden yellow, shaded with deeper and
lighter tints which can not well be de-
scribed.
Chateau de Clos Vougeot has a most
wonderful color and texture. Color,
deepest velvety maroon red, shading to
blackest crimson. Much darker than
Prince Camille. Flowers are large and
of splendid substance.
Colonel Leclerc is a strong grower,
of branching habit; good foliage; buds
borne singly; open blooms of excellent
form. Color, lovely cherry red.
Countess of Gosford is salmon pink
POCAHONTAS
If you grow any crimson carnations, then why not grow a variety that
will give you quality equal to the best varieties in the other colors? POCAHONTAS
will do this, and you will also find it productive enough to be highly profitable.

A seedling of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for the past five years
and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel confident it is one of the best
commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
The color is a shade lighter pink than Lawson; form high built, much like Boston Market ; stem
long and graceful : healthy grower; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker^a pink Boston Market— only much
larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties.

BRIGHT SPOT
Outclasses everything heretofore g^own in the dark pink section. Won first honors in the 100 class for
best dark pink at the A. C. S. meeting, Pittsburg, January, 1910, and has won many other honors.
It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even shade, size 3^ inches, an early and continuous bloomer, brings fully 25
per cent more flowers to the plant than Laweon at its best ; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems ; calyx does not split.
It is a good shipper, and the cuttings root easy.
While with most carnations early cnttingfs are desirable, this is not so much the case w^ith Brig^ht
Spot ; it is such a strong; grower that March cuttings make just as good and very large plants by the
end of July.

The Market.
All stock is coining in plentifully
afnd, while the demand is fair, there is
the natural lull on account of the lenten
season. Beauties continue scarce. Sweet
peas also are short, although those who
grow their own stock have a good sup-
ply. Violets are in their prime. The
quality of the stock on the market is
superb, particularly so with the singles.
Various Notes.
W. E. Wallace, F. E. H. S., of Eaton
Bray Nurseries, of Dunstable, Bedford-
shire, England, is visiting the different
greenhouses in and around Toronto.
"While here, he is the guest of J. H.
Dunlop.
The Toronto Horticultural Society
held its regular monthly meeting in St.
George's hall March 7. An interesting
paper on "What an Enthusiast on Hor-
ticulture Has Seen in the Old Land and
the New" was read by A. Gilchrist, of
West Toronto.
Patrick Fogarty, Toronto's oldest^,
grower, died March 5. He was fifty-
seven years in the business.
P. Fogarty & Sons have a fine stock
of spiraeas and primroses for Easter.
J. H. Dunlop recently wrote the gov-
ernment officials protesting on the in-
troduction of chemicals for disinfect-
ants in the city water supply, used by
the growers. E. A. F.
Hot Springs, Ark. — Fire which broke
out at midnight, February 25, destroyed
two dwellings formerly owned by J. M.
Starke, on Harrel avenue near the north
city limits, and damaged the adjoining
greenhouse. Mr. Starke, who occupied
one of the dwellings, succeeded only in
saving a part of his household goods.
The propertj^ had been purchased a few
weeks previously by J. Wi" Vestal &
Son, of Little R9(;k, Aljc., who expected
to take possession' soon. v.
Carnation Norwood
This variety has been grown by us for four years and has proven to be the
best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about 3J^ inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial
variety. Rooted cuttings (immediate delivery), $10.00 per 100;
$76.00 per 1000.
It will pay every Carnation Grower to plant this variety-
there' s money in it.

''Expect to Grow Dorothy Gordon
Next Year— Good Size and Color''
' —writes one of our friends who gave Carnation "Dorothy
Gordon ' ' a thorough trial last year. This customer is a
prominent florist of New England, and his letter was in an-
swer to an inquiry sent him and many other growers a few
weeks ago, asking about their success with ' ' Dorothy Gor-
don." These replies varied in their tone, of course— but
most growers expressed satisfaction with its good qualities ;
many voluntarily stated their intention of growing it again.
"Dorothy Gordon " is a money-maker ; is succeeding
• for growers in many states. The plant is unusually vig-
orous and productive, the stem is generally long and stiff,
and the flower is a clear,
bright pink, quite uniform
in shade. ' ' Dorothy Gor-
don" is a carnation of
rare merit- your trade
wants it and
will gladly pay
a good price
■ to get it.

Our Palms Are Now Making a
Better Showing Tiian Ever Before
Better stock, larger stock, more room to grow it in —
these features are going to make 1911 a banner year for
Heacock' s palms and for dealers handling them.
We're pretty proud of the palms we grow, and if
you've ever sold any of them you know why— healthy,
vigorous growth, plants fine and stocky; in our home-
grown palms you get a quality that lasts. _
Wherever used, Heacock' s Palms please your custo-
mers— on the porch or lawn in summer or indoors in cold
weather. There's a fine opportunity, too, for you to do
a good business renting them for decorative purposes.
You can handle Heacock' s Palms at a profit- hun-
dreds of dealers have been doing
it for years. Rememlx^r, all our
stock is liome-
grown— started
from the seed in
our own houses.
They cost no more
than foreign-
grown plants, though,
and your trade will
quickly appreciate the
difference.
Let us know your requirements at
once; we'll gladly quote prices.

The Weekly Florists' Review.
March 9, 1911.
aOSHEN. IND.
E. A. Kunderd has sold to Montague
Chamberlain, Groton, Mass., his collec-
tion of plain petaled gladioli, the trans-
action including all the separate colors
in the large collection, except some
twenty varieties. Mr. Kunderd retains,
besides, his ruiiied sorts and his mixed
stock.
Mr. Kunderd 's collection was the re-
sult of fifteen years' study and breed-
ing. One of his productions, Mrs. Frank
Pendleton, Jr., secured by Eawson and
exhibited last season at several flower
shows, was awarded a certificate of
merit by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society. Mr. Kunderd 's greatest
achievement, of course, is the produc-
tion of ruffled gladioli, an entirely dis-
tinct type. His collection of these was
becoming so large that he decided to
dispose of his plain petaled varieties,
and devote his time and means to the
new type. The collection secured by
Mr. Chamberlain includes over 300 va-
rieties and only some half dozen of
these have been named. Among them
is a pure white which Mr, Chamberlain
says will rank with Eeine Blanche and
Europa; another he thinks will be a
strong rival of the famous Princeps,
having the advantage of Princeps in
displaying more blossoms at a time. The
popular America also has a rival in this
collection, the new-comer being of some-
what deeper pink and of larger size.
Mr. Chamberlain has been for some
time building up a collection of gladioli
by propagation and by purchasing from
the leading American and foreign grow-
ers, until his collection is one of the
fipest in the country. He is connected
with one of Boston's largest dry goods
houses, but his farm is at Groton, in
the midst of the famous New England
apple belt. Always a student of nature,
he was for a number of years connected
with the Scientific School of Harvard,
is an author of note, and will undoubt-
edly become a leading grower of gladoli.
TAEBYTOWN", N. Y.
The monthly meeting of the Tarry-
town Horticultural Society was held on
Friday evening, February 24, with
President Brunger in the chair. T. W.
Stobo, R. Franke and W. MacBean
were elected active members and one
application for membership was re-
ceived.
A communication was read from the
New York Florists' Club asking the
cooperation of the Tarrytown society in
securing the passage of a bill through
the legislature appropriating $50,000 to
erect greenhouses at Cornell for experi-
mental purposes.
It was announced that the fall show
will be held October 31 to November 2,
in the Music hall, Tarrytown.
The discussion and exhibition at the
next meeting will be in the line of
"Roses and Bulbous Flowers."

GOSHEN. IND.
E. A. Kunderd has sold to Montague
Chamberlain, Groton, Mass., his collec-
tion of plain petaled gladioli, the trans-
action including all the separate colors
in the large collection, except some
twenty varieties. Mr. Kunderd retains,
besides, his ruffled sorts and his mixed
stock.
Mr. Kunderd 's collection was the re-
sult of fifteen years' study and breed-
ing. One of his productions, Mrs. Frank
Pendleton, Jr., secured by Eawson and
exhibited last season at several flower
shows, was awarded a certificate of
merit by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society. Mr. Kunderd 's greatest
achievement, of course, is the produc-
tion of ruffled gladioli, an entirely dis-
tinct type. His collection of these was
becoming so large that he decided to
dispose of his plain petaled varieties,
and devote his time and means to the
new type. The collection secured by
Mr. Chamberlain includes over 300 va-
rieties and only some half dozen of
these have been named. Among them
is a pure white which Mr. Chamberlain
says will rank with Keine Blanche and
Europa; another he thinks will be a
strong rival of the famous Princeps,
having the advantage of Princeps in
displaying more blossoms at a time. The
popular America also has a rival in this
collection, the new-comer being of some-
what deeper pink and of larger size.
Mr. Chamberlain has been for some
time building up a collection of gladioli
by propagation and by purchasing from
the leading American and foreign grow-
ers, until his collection is one of the
finest in the country. He is connected
with one of Boston's largest dry goods
houses, but his farm is at Groton, in
the midst of the famous New England
apple belt. Always a student of nature,
he was for a number of years connected
with the Scientific School of Harvard,
is an author of note, and will undoubt-
edly become a leading grower of gladoli.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

mental purposes.
It was announced that the fall show
will be held October 31 to November 2,

DO FEBXS NEED FBOTECTION?
While it is said that Vermonters may
have to prevent the stripping of ferns
from their mountain sides by means of
legislation similar to recent enactments
to protect their Christmas trees, florists
in the big eastern cities probably will
not become anxious over that prospect
so long as the other New England states
overlook the matter. Regardless of
Vermont's reputed dissatisfaction be-
cause the industry of gathering ferns
ns alleged to be systematically organ-
ized in the big outside cities, employees
being sent up to do the work, it is pos-
sible that the inroads made upon these
plants have been largely overestimated.
Vermont is the first state to call at-
tention tq the possibility that ferns, as
well as fir trees, might be in need of
conservation. In reality, florists get
their principal supplies of ferns from
Massachusetts, and also draw largely
on New Hampshire, Maine, Connecti-
cut and even Bbode Island. These
states, evidently, have found no rea-
son as yet to complain. Furthermore,
investigation discloses that it is the
common brake variety of fern which is
in greatest demand, and, like the rest
of the fern family, the brake is a peren-
nial instead of an annual.
If the claim that 50,000,000 ferns
were sent out last fall from four Ver-
mont towns is authentic, of course, some
alarm might be regarded as justifiable
in the face of such figures. As to any
lasting damage resulting to the fern
growth, however, there is plenty of
room for doubt. Hence, it would seem
that Vermonters might arrange to earn
themselves the $25,000 or $30,000 said
to be paid fern gatherers there each
fall, for if a prohibitive tax were placed
on Green mountain fronds, that attrac-
tive income would surely be diverted
to other parts of New England. — Boston

THE GRANDEST FERN OF THE AGE
NEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT
BJHjEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT is a sport from Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, but a wonderful improvement over the parent
|fVl| variety and others of stiff, upright growing habit, known as Harrisii or the Harrisii type. It is a stronger maker of
fronds and young plants than any other variety and will produce a larger finished plant in a six-inch pot than
Boston or Harrisii will produce in a larger size.
The finished fronds of Nephrolepis Roosevelt are at least a third wider than Boston and have more graceful droop-
ing habit. The pinna? are distinctly undulated, giving them a beautiful wavy effect which attracts the eye instantly. Cut
flower dealers will find fronds of Roosevelt invaluable for design work. A single plant of Roosevelt grown in a six-inch
pot will when finished almost double the number of fronds produced by Boston or Harrisii type varieties and while Boston
and Harrisii show stiff, upright growth in a six-inch, the wide, wavy fronds of Roosevelt droop gracefully over the pot,
hiding it completely from view. Finished three-inch plants of Roosevelt are equally lar^ and more attractive than the
average well-grown four-inch Boston, and growers of Harrisii and the Harrisii type admit they cannot produce attractive
plants of these varieties in pots smaller than ten-inch. Without an exception Nephrolepis Roosevelt is the most valuable
fern ever offered for florists' use. It has the vitality to withstand more rough treatment than other varieties and does not
revert to the parent type. In our long experience we have never offered the trade any plant with greater assurance of
entire satisfaction and predict Nephrolepis Roosevelt will very soon lead in popular demand, sweeping from the list Boston,
Harrisii and the Harrisii type. We are booking orders for delivery, June 1st, 1911, and will fill them in strict rotation
as to the date received. Get yours in early; you will not be disappointed in this fern. 2X'iach pots, 40c each;
$3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100; $200.00 per 1000. 25 plants at 100 rate; 250 plants at 1000 rate.

PITTSBUEG.
The Market.
The lenten season has really had
some effect on the posy business, at
least on prices. Several days' sunshine
brought an increased cut and down went
the price of flowers; not that there were
so many more flowers, but that there
was so much less demand. Everything
suffered except roses, which still hold
their own. Stock of all kinds is show-
ing the benefit of a few days' sunshine
and it will probably bring carnations
in such quantities that the bottom will
drop out of prices entirely.
The retail shops are looking pretty
just now, with all the blooming plants,
as the help has enough time to put on a
few extra touches. They will have a
few slow days and then will forget all
about Lent, as the cheaper flowers will
bring increased sales and they will be
busy as ever.
Various Notes.
One of our retailers advertised four
<lozen carnations and spring flowers for
$1 last Saturday.
Mrs. E. A. Williams took advantage
of the lenten season to get a well de-
served rest after one of the best of sea-
sons. She sailed Saturday, March 4, for
the West Indian Islands, where all
points of interest will be visited. She
expects to be gone about six weeks.
Tuesday evening, February 28, in the
English room at the Fort Pitt hotel, the
reception to Prof. Hichard Vincent and
Mrs. Vincent, of White Marsh, Mary-
land, was the social event of the season.
The members of the club, with their
ladies, after viewing Prof. Vincent's
pictures and hearing his delightful lec-
ture, which was interspersed with a solo
by Miss Voelp and topical songs with
local hits by Allen Langhans, retired to
the dining room, where a nice lunch
was served, completing a most delightful
evening.
The John Bader Co. has several
houses of azaleas which are looking
fine and will just come right for Easter.
This company never had as fine a show
of plants as at the present time.
Chas. Moenig, the bi^ lily grower of

New Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander
New Marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander.
The most valuable flowering pot plant
which has been offered to the trade
since the introduction of the Lorraine
Begonia.
In this we have unquestionably the njost im-
portant flowering plant introduced in recent
years, which, like its predecessors, the French
Marguerite and the later introductions, white
and blush Queen Alexandra, will be grown exten-
sively for cut flowers during the winter, while
its pure white color will make it more valuable
than any as a pot plant for Easter decorations.
Unlike all other Marguerites, its color is of
the purest glistening white throughout; in size it
frequently measures 5 inches across; the center
of the flower is a mass of closely arranged
fringed florets; these are surrounded or edged by
the broad, shining white ray petals, forming a
flower which reminds one forcibly of a glorified
double Pyrethrum. These are produced on long
stems with a freedom not known in other varie-
ties of the Marguerite.
The entire stock of this grand novelty has
been placed in our hands for American distribu-
tion and we are now booking orders for delivery
the latter part of April or early in May:
Good 214-in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
The above prices are intended for the trade only.

EOCHESTER, N. Y.
The Market.
Weather conditious have greatly im-
proved; sunny days have been more nu-
merous, so that the supply has been
ample for all needs and trade has been
good. Carnations are again in the mar-
ket in large quantities, after a marked
shortage for several weeks.
Roses ari> plentiful; American
Beauties retail at from $1 to $1.25 per
dozen; Killarney are not quite as popu-
lar and retail at $1 per dozen. One of
the leading florists of the city offered
as a special attraction for Saturday
sweet violets at 25 cents per bunch. The
best Hudson river violets have been
selling at 50 cents per bunch. Potted
hyacinths, tulips and daffodils are plen-
tiful.
Various Notes.
The largest single order of carnations
ever sent from Rochester went to Syra-
cuse Friday, March 3, to be sold on the
streets of that city for the hospital
fund
The Rochester bowling team enter-
tained the Buffalo association bowling
team Wednesday evening, March 8, at
Lang's alleys.
The Rochester Florists' Association
will meet Monday evening, March 13.
The special business will be the con-
sideration of an amendment to the con-
stitution to increase the dues to $2 a
year. This resolution was introduced
by R. G. Salter. E. F. R.
Janesville, Wis.— The Janes ville Flo

PREPARE FOR EASTER
FROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY?
From our old friend, Godfrey Aschmann, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall be our
man this Easter, and, as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our man in the future. He always treated us right before,
and we can rely upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff.
What Florists Say About Our Lilies
Daily visitors to our establishment, among
tbem two well known growers, one from Cincin-
nati, Ohio, the other from South Orange, N. J.,
say: "Yon have the best lilies we ever have
seen on our visits to many florists' establish-
ments. We congratulate you. You certainly
can be proud." .
An immense stock of choice Easter plants,
blooming Easter week, or earlier, if desired, are
now ready for immediate shipment. Come your-
self or mail your order direct to headquarters.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many
years past. Is sufficient guarantee to prove our
ability.
Go to Hcadquartf rs for Azaleas
Azalea Indica is a specialty with us, grown
for UB under contract by an Azalea specialist in
Belginm for the last twenty years. Have four
houses full of the choicest. Only best well-
known American varieties are imported, and are
now in excellent condition, covered with buds,
just right for Easter. We ship only good stock,
full of buds and flowers.
What is the name of the best double pink
azalea? Mme. Van der Cruyssen is the name,
originated by the well-known azalea specialist
Mr. Van der Cruyssen of Belgium. Millions are
raised every year and shipped to every point of
the globe from Belgium. We have a big stock
on hand of this so well-known and favorite vari-
ety in tip top condition. Every plant is as round
as an apple, covered with buds, just right for
Raster trade. 6 to 7-ln. pots, 60c, 75c, $1.00,
$1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each.
Deutsche Ferle. This is the best pure double
white. 6-in. pots, 75c, $1.00 to $1.50. Outside
tlie Deutsche Perle we have no white to offer in
small sizes, because the other varieties, Niobe
and Bernard Andrea alba, of which we had a
large stock, during transportation across the
sea and during winter lost all their buds and
have to be carried over for another year. This
first variety the year imported does not do well,
l>ut makes fine plants the next year.
Bernard Andrea alba (white). We have
mostly big plants, $1.50, $2.00 to $3.00 each;
.1 few smaller sizes, 75c, $1.00 to $1.25; Niobe,

each. Vervaeneana, De Sohryveriana (double
variegated), 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.60 to $2.00.

varieties, such as Helene Thelemann, etc., 75c,
$1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. When we are out
of one color, we send the next similar color;
also, If we are out of the size ordered, we send
the next size either above or below the price
mentioned.
Hydrangea Otaksa never was as good as this
year, green as grass, full of buds, every branch
stocked up. SVi, 6 to 7-ln. pots, 25c, 35c, 50c,
75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50.
Easter Ulies, Lillum multlflorum, the genuine
Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us.
We have a friend in Japan who looks after our
interests there. He picks out for us only the
good, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are growing, the 10-in. bulbs, and therefore he
ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to bum; can supply, if
nothing happens, every customer and others
who want lilies. If you see them growing in our
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where
other florists get 15c per bud, we only charge
you lOo per bud, for plants in 6-in. pots, having
5, 8, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plants
under 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-in. pots.

gated, three bulbs in a pot, $1.80 per dozen pots;

almost as big as a bushel basket, 6-in. pots, 25c,
35c, 50c, 75c to $1.00 each.
Spiraea Gladstone. This variety, owing to the
dry summer in Holland last year, will be very

enough to fill two houses full, and they are now

Araucaria Bobusta Compacta, Glauca and Ex-
celsa. Our reputation of being one of the largest
Importers and shippers of this beautiful ever-
green decorative plant is so well known, dating
far back Into the 19th century, that our name,
as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never die
out, and Is still fresh in people's minds same
as when we first started. Why the Araucaria is
80 popular is because it is an ancient plant, kept
by Greeks and Romans as a special favorite in
their household, as a good omen.

•Pennsylvania is not an exhibition bloom, but
}^}^ ' very free bloomer, a good sized flower
ana a splendid one to grow commercially. We
believe it is a good money maker and there is
nothing better on the market for a grower re-
tailing his own stock, as this variety will hang
on for tea day.s to two weeks in splendid shape.
We have never had a better keeper. Buyers this
year, we believe, will go into it much heavier an-
other season.

Greenhouse Heating.
WHEN BOILER IS TOO LABQE.
My experience with a large boiler
may be of benefit to L. C. B., whose
inquiry appeared on page 90 of The
Review of March 2. We have about
8,000 feet of glass and started with a
small boiler. Later we added a tubular
boiler, 5x16 feet, containing eighty-four
3-inch tubes. We kept the small one for
fall and spring use. After one season
we threw out the small one, finding
that it consumed more coal than the
larger one in doing the same work.
We accomplish this by cutting down
the firebox space and by shutting off
the chimney draft. The back half of
the grates is covered by a cast-iron
plate, obtained at a junk shop. This
'prevents the air from entering. Then a
thin, clean fire is kept in front, using
one or both doors, as the season de-
mands. When only one door is used
the other side is filled with ashes to
keep-^ir out. Should we ever need more
steam the plates can be easily re-
moved. The chimney draft is closed to
about an 8-inch hole. The result is per-
fect and we use less coal to the foot
of radiation than any of our neighbors.
G. S. Eamsburg.
One of my neighbors, like L. C. B.,
has a boiler that is unnecessarily large,
but he succeeded in running it econom-
ically by adopting the following plan:
It is a horizontal boiler and he plugged
up the top row of flues with wooden
plugs, so that the fire could not pass
through them. Then he could make
steam much more easily, with a smaller
amount of water, and the boiler would
hold steam a longer time. Another plan
might be to make the firebox smaller
by placing bricks on each side.
A. F. Johnson.
BOILER PROBABLY TOO SMALL.
We are having some trouble in keep-
ing up the temperature in our houses.
We have four greenhouses, each 16x118
and nine feet to the ridge, which we
are heating with a Winchester hot
water boiler. No. 34. It is an upright
boiler and has a firebox thirty-six
inches in diameter. There are two 4-
inch mains from the boiler along the
shed, with one 3-inch flow which runs
to the far end of each greenhouse and
then drops down under the benches,
where it connects with six 2-inch re-
turns running back to a 4-inch main
return in the shed. The highest point
is eight feet directly above the boiler.

The temperature often falls to 40 de-

53 degrees at eleven o'clock at night.
We want to maintain a temperature of
about 50 to 55 degrees. Our coldest
weather here, in eastern Virginia, is
rarely lower than 15 degrees above
zero. What is the trouble? Have we
too much of a load on our boiler, or
have we not enough returns?
B. H. P. C.
It is extremely difficult to give an
offhand opinion regarding the trouble
mentioned. It would seem, however,
that the amount of radiation is ample
to maintain the temperature desired.
The trouble would, therefore, appear to
be due either to lack of boiler capacity
or to some defect in the arrangement

Better and Cheaper than Any Other System
Zanesvillk, ()., Feb. 11, 1911.
Gentlemen : In regard to the Kroeschell Threaded Tube Piping System, I
think it is better than standard piping system, not only in being cheaper, but
thinner, and giving more heat. I found the Generator was a paying proposi-
tion and would recommend its use to all using a hot water system. My No. 11
Boiler does the work satisfactorily on over 25,O0Orsq> ft. of glass.
Very truly yours, C. L. Humphrey.

wall. The ends and partitions will be
glass, except three feet of double
siding.
There will be three apartments,
forty-one feet, twenty-nine feet and
ten feet long, respectively. The 10-
foot section will be between the other
two and will be used as a potting
room; the boiler will be in a pit under
Mils part. I shall probably use a sec-
cional hot water boiler. I shall use
raised benches and should like to run
1%-inch return pipes under them, with
2^-inch flows on the purlins.
Should the flows run uphill or down-
hill? How many pipes will be required
to heat the 41-foot part to 50 degrees,
for carnations, and the 29-foot part to
55 degrees, for pot plants, in zero
weather? What would be the best way
to arrange the pipes and where should
valves be placed? Could the expansion
tank be put lengthwise directly under
the angle of the roof, or what would be
the best place for it? P. A. D.
In the house 21x41, use three 2i^-
inch flows and ten 1%-inch returns.
Carry one of the flow pipes about two
feet under the ridge and the others on
the plates. Give the flow pipes a slight
fall. For the other house use three
2M:-inch flow pipes, arranged as above,
and twelve IV^-inch returns, carrying
four under each bench.
If there is no place where the ex-
pansion tank can be located so that it
will have greater elevation, it' can be
under the ridge, as proposed. It will
be well to have a valve on each of the
flow pipes, wherever it will be most
convenient. For the main flow and
returns use 3-iuch pipes, breaking each
up into three 2i/.-inch pipes.

standard Simplicity
In our ENGINE the valves and the finder are completely water-jacketed,
yet whenever it is necessary to get at the valves, to clean and regrind them, they
are readily reached by simply unscrewing the flat iron plate that serves as cj^l-
inder head. This accessibility is exclusively a Standard feature, and you will
find that in other engines you must disconnect the cooling-water pipe and the
exhaust pipe, and expose a water-jacket joint before you can get at the valves.
The accompanying cut shows the engine cylinder head with the plate re-
moved, exposing the vertical inlet and exhaust valves.
The same ing^enuity has been used in making the valves of the pump
accessible, as we shall show upon this page within a few weeks.

Gut flower trade was good last week,
considering that Lent is now with us.
Flowers are more plentiful and prices
are a little lower as a result. We have
had considerable sunshine the last two
weeks, bringing out the flowers in large
quantities, although the weather con-
tinues rather cold. ,
Carnations retail at 10 cents per
dozen, a few bringing 75 cents; roses
get $1.50 to $2 and are in bigger supply.
Bulb stock is plentiful, with the prices
down, tulips retailing at 50 cents per
dozen; daffodils the same; double tulips,
"V5 cents; snapdragons, 75 cents to $1;
callas, $2; Easter lilies, $2.50; mignon-
ette, 60 cents; Paper Whites, 50 cents;
violets, $1 per hundred, and sweet peas
from that up to $1.50. Plant trade is
good and freesia and alyssum help out
in design work.
The street fakers were with us last
Saturday, selling violets at 15 cents per
bunch, and carnations and daffodils at
35 cents per dozen.

The Market.
The unusually dry winter seems to
be thoroughly broken; the last few
weeks brought some good rains, and
more recently an 8-iuch snow. The
weather for Valentine's day was <fair
and warm, and the valentine trade
pleased everyone. This year showed
more effort in the way of special dis-
plays and fancy arrangements, all of
which was well repaid. Stock was good,
and the demand satisfactory. Prices
remained about normal, although vio-
lets crowded up slightly and were all
taken. Since Valentine's, the weather i
has offered samples of every kind in/
the catalogue, but transient demand has
been quite good. There has been a no-
ticeable lack of local funeral work; in
-^ct, the leading cemetery reported a
hitherto unparalleled fact, namely, no
graves dug for two weeks and three
days.
The beginning of Lent is making a
difference in the demand for entertain-
ment flowers. Local bulbous stock is
coming in heavily and in splendid qual-
ity, and other local grown stock is show-
ing up better, both in quantity and
quality, while there seems to be a
marked improvement in shipped flowers.
Various Notes.
A look at the principal producing
plants shows the spring work well in
hand, and general conditions good.
Charles P. Mueller reports a pleasant
time at the Illinois state convention,
which he visited.
Some nice new willow ware has put
in an appearance at the downtown
stores. R. L.
ZANESVILLi:, OHIO.
The members of the Zanesville Flo-
rists' Club met February 16 at the store
of President J. T. Goodlive, and from
there were given a trolley ride to Mr.
Goodlive 's greenhouses, on Greenwood
avenue. Atter an inspection of the
stock, which was in fine shape, the party
were given another trolley ride, to Mr.
Goodlive 's residence, on Putnam Hill,
where a fine night view of Zanesville
was obtained from the tower of the resi-
dence, which overlooks the Muskingum
river.
The business of the club was then
transacted and luncheon was served at
a late hour. Everyone liad a jollv good
time. " G. W. C.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^
March 0, 1911.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
With bright weather prevailing the
greater part of last week, receipts were
greatly increased. Stilly the demand
kept about even pace with the supply,
leaving little or no stock on hand.
Club Meeting.
Although there were only fourteen
members present at the club meeting,
March 2, it was by no means a dull one.
President H. V. Hunkel appointed the
following executive committee for the
1911 flower show: J. G. Heitman, C.
Dallwig, A, T. Kellner, Nic Zweifel, Art
Leidiger, C. C. Pollworth and Wm.
Zimmermann. Mr. Hunkel also is a
member of this committee. To judge
from little conversations overheard, the
show this year is to cover many more
square feet than at any previous time.
C. C. Pollworth and C. Dallwig were
appointed a committee to draft suitable
resolutions protesting against the pas-
sage of a bill now pending at Madison,
which would compel all concerns located
within two miles of the city limits to
use smoke consumers. This would in-
clude most of the local growers, and
aside from" its being a great expense
and trouble, it would be impossible to
install such a system where no steam is
used.
The entertainment committee an-
nounced the coming bowling match be-
tween the Chicago and Milwaukee boys,
which will take place March 19 at
Eleventh and Prairie streets.
The club's treasury was again en-
riched somewhat when Treasurer Heit-
man, of the 1910 flower show, handed in
his flnal report, which was accepted
with words of thanks and praise for the
whole committee.
Various Notes.
The Florists' Bowling League will roll
its return match game with the Odah-
nas at Steinke's alleys, Eleventh and
Prairie streets, during the afternoon of
March 12.
The Harrisii plants at the C. C. Poll-
worth Co. 's greenhouses are in fine
shape, giving promise of a banner
harvest.
Among numerous plants for Easter,
the Holton & Hunkel Co. has a whole
house devoted to spiraea plants, which
will hit it just right.
Already many retailers are getting
inquiries for bids for the spring open-
ings of local department stores, which
take place in the near future. J^ O.
SOUTHINGTON, CONN.
The growers here are all confident
that Easter this year will be a record-
breaker.
Otto Glueck, who has leased Nelson
Bavier's range of glass, is sending
down some handsome sweet peas to
Alfred Ostermann, in New Haven, who
is also handling his cut of carnations
and bulb stock. One of Mr. Glueck 's
specialties is white marguerite daisies.
Olson & Lunden report a good season.
William Fischer has just completed
an addition to his range. Carnations
are Mr. Fischer's main crop.
The past week of bright, sunny
weather has been welcomed by all. The
way the temperature runs up at mid-
day makes us realize that spring is
surely close by. B.

THE BOSE BOUQUET.
The roses in the bouquet illustrated
herewith were wired in order to hold
them .to position. With the long-
stemmed roses now so freely produced,
rigidity is secured without the wires;
that is one of the reasons why retail
florists who seek to turn out the best
of work are willing to pay the extra
price for the long stems, even though
ttey cut off a good part of the stem
' in making up their work. A few years
ago such roses as are now abundant in
all the leading markets were undreamed
of and the retail florists had to make
use of many practices not now neces-
sary, except where shorter and weaker-
stemmed stock is employed.
COLOB SENSE.
Natural and Acquired Skill.
There are two ways of acquiring
knack in coloring — one by the exercise
of the natural sense of color, and the
other by the practice of what is learned
by rote training. While both are de-
sirable, the endowment to be coveted is
the eye that can analyze the coloring
of a flower or plant at a glance. Ar-
bitrary training will teach one to avoid
glaring mistakes, but it will never lead
to fine color work. It may cry
"Shame!" at a vase of Killarneys
against one of Beacon carnations, but
without a color eye one can never learn
which white to combine with which
pink, or to compose a symphony in lilac,
violet and magenta. Ignorance of so
simple a matter as the order of the
spectrum colors need not hold one back
if he has strong color instincts, for they
do not often err.
On the other hand, all one can learn
from the mass of material that is to be
read on color — which, however, must be
classified and adapted to this branch of
art — will greatly develop and encourage
his natural instincts.
Somebody once said, "How can I
make up for the lack of the color sense?
I don't understand what colors to com-
bine." I do not know. What would
be said of a man who proposed to go
into the machinists' trade without me-
chanical ability? How would a person
progress in music who had not ear
enough to tune a violin? Do not per-
sist in work foreign to your talents.
Well, how am I to know whether I
have talent for entering, or continuing
in, this branch of the business?
Tests of Ability.
There are several simple tests which
may be helpful in this line. First, as a
phrenologist will tell you, there are un-
mistakable evidences of color and form
talent, or the lack of it, as plain as the
nose on your face. Color and form abil-
ity are indicated by large eyes, arched
eyebrows, long eyebrows, or prominent
bone development about the eyes.
Second, if you know yellow, red,
green, violet, orange and blue apart, can
you trace these colors as two or more
of them are found in some one familiar
flower or leaf, termed pink, lavender,
heliotrope, russet, gray, etc? For ex-
ample, can you see any yellow in a
Bridesmaid rose, or can you find any red
in a Clematis Jackmani? What colors
can you trace in the skin of a russet
apple? Or, in other words, can you
analyze the color mixture which you find
in any ordinary flower? For there are
no flowers of one pure color. If not.
Viit tints which appeal warmly to you,
or others which are cold and repelling?
Fifth, is the subject of color one of
al:sorbing interest to you? Are you will- _
ing to sacrifice pleasure and rest oc-
casionally in order to pursue its study?
' Encouraging, but Not Conclusive.
There are some arguments which also
may seem to indicate, but only super-
ficially, talent in this line. For instance,
one's fondness for flowers is regarded
as a more or less encouraging sign. This,
however, does not necessarily indicate
talent for artistic floral work. Because
T have an extreme fondness for violin
music is not sufficient argument that I
should adopt it as a profession.
Again, you may say, ' ' But people ad.
mire my work." There is no disputing'
that fact. I have seen scores of people
gush over the poorest kind of work as
quickly as over a gem in floral arrange-
ment. If the thing is sifted down, you
will find that it is the beauty of the
flowers themselves, and not the arrange-
ment, which attracts them. To illus-

can you pick out any one of the colors
of which it is composed?
Third, do your untaught color at-
tempts please your eye? Are you tempt-
ed to linger over the harmony produced ?
Is there a pleasant reaction upon your
eye? |^
Fourth, what sensations do certain
colors excite in .you? Can you point
tra,te: A customer whom I had coached
for years in good designing and color-
ing, who was a lady of fine taste
in other lines, gave me a heart stab by
admiring and/ asking me to admire a
slovenly lp<*King, characterless excuse
for a funeral design. If people admire
your work, and meanwhile give you any
convincing proof that they appreciate

THE BOSE BOUQUET.
The roses in the bouquet illustrated
herewith were wired in order to hold
them to position. With the long-
stemmed roses now so freely produced,
rigidity is secured without the wires;
that is one of the reasons why retail
florists who seek to turn out the best
of Avork are willing to pay the extra
price for the long stems, even though
they cut off a good part of the stem
in making up their work. A few years
ago such roses as are now abundant in '
all the leading markets were undreamed
of and the retail florists had to make
use of many practices not now neces-
sary, except where shorter and weaker-
steiinned stock is employed.
COLOB SENSE.
Natural and AcctuireS Skill.
There are two ways of acquiring
knack in coloring — one by the exercise
of the natural sense of color, and the
other by the practice of what is learned
by rote training. While both are de-
sirable, the endowment to be (;oveted is
the eye that can analyze the coloring
of a flower or plant at a glance. Ar
bitrary training will teach one to avoid
glaring mistakes, but it will never lead
to fine color work. It may cry
"Slianie!" at a vase of Kiliarneys
against one of Beacon carnations, but
without a color eye one can never leani
which white to combine with whicli
pink, or to compose a symphony in lilac,
violet and magenta. Ignorance of so
simple a matter as the order of the
spectrum colors need not hold one back
if he has strong color instincts, for they
do not often err.
On the other hand, all one can learn
from the mass of material that is to be
read on color — which, however, must be
classified and adapted to this branch of
art — will greatly develop and en<-ourag(>
his natural instincts.
Somebody once said, ' ' IIow can 1
make up for the lack of the color sense ?
I don't understand what colors to com-
bine." I do not know. What would
be said of a man who proposed to go
into the machinists' trade without me-
chanical ability? IIow would a person
progress in music who had not ear
enough to tune a violin? Do not per-
sist in Avork foreign to your talents.
Well, how am I to know whether I
have talent for entering, or continuing
in, this branch of tiie business?
Tests of Ability.
There are several simple tests which
may be helpful in this line. First, as a
phrenologist will tell you, there are un-
mistakable evidences of color and form
talent, or the lack of it, as j)lain as the
nose on your fac(\ Color and form abil-
ity are indicated liy large eyes, arched
eyebrows, long eyebrows, or prominent
bone development al)out the eyes.
Second, if you know yellow, red,
green, violet, orange and blue apart, can
you trace these colors as two or more
of thein are found in some one familiar
flower or leaf, termed pink, lavender,
heliotrope, russet, gray, etc? For ex-
ample, can you sec any yellow in a
Bridesmaid rose, or can you find any red
in a Clematis .lackmani? What colors
can you trace in the skin of a russet
api)le? Or, in other words, can you
.'inalyze the color mixture which you find
in any ordinary flower? For there are
no flowers of one pure color. If not,
out tints which appeal warmly to you,
iir others which are cold and repellingl!
I'ifth, is the subject of color one of
al sorbing interest to you? Are you will-
ing to sacrifice pleasure and rest oc-
(■:isi()iially in onler to pursue its study?
Encouraging, but Not Conclusive.
Tiun'e are some arguments which also
may seem to indicate, but only super-
ficially, talent in this line. For instance,
one's fondness for flowers is regarded
as a more or less encouraging sign. This,
however, does not necessarily indicate
talent for artistic floral work. Because
1 have an extreme fondness for violin
music is not sufficient argument that 1
should adopt it as a profession.
Again, you may say, "But people ad-
mire my work." There is no disputing
that fact. I have seen scores of people
gush over the poorest kind of work as
quickly as over a gem in floral arrange-
ment. If the thing is sifted 'down, you
will find that it is the beauty of the
flowers themselves, and not the arrange-
ment, which attracts them. To illus-
White Roses, Valley and Plumosus.
tan you pick out any one of the colors
of which it is composed?
Third, do your untaught color at-
tempts please your eye? Are you tempt-
ed to linger over the harmony produced?
Is there a pleasant reaction upon your
eye?
Fourth, what sensations do certain
colors excite in you? Can you ])oint
trate: A customer whom I had coached
for years in good designing and color-
ing, who was a lady of fine taste
in other lines, gave me a heart stab by
admiring and asking me to admire a
slovenly looking, cliaracterlcss excuse
for a funeral design. If people admire
your work, and meanwhile give you any

your skill as well as the flowers which
you did not make, then you may flat-

Mediocrity or Excellence?
Many people argue that they have
sufficient ability for commercial pur-
poses and that the general public is not
discriminating enough to know the dif-
ference between common work and ex-
BULUITS VS. BIBDSHOT.
All advertising has only one object —
the sale of merchandise — but there are
almost as many ways of advertising as
there are advertisers, though most ad-
vertising can be classified into one or
another of two groups. One group is
composed of those advertisements, spe-

A WRONG IMPRESSION
SOME PEOPLE SAY they cannot under-
stand how we can afford to spend so
much money advertising and still sell
high-grade flowers at popular prices.
THE ANSWER IS: By advertising we are
letting the people Imow our prices are low,
correcting a wrong impression that many have
had. In this way we have increased our
business to such an extent that wc are able to
continue to reduce the price of flowers.
WE ARE THE LARGEST RETAILERS
of high-grade flowers, consequently the largest
buyers. This enables us to buy and sell at the
very lowest prices, which weart doing, and offer
m flowers, strictly fresh — the lasting kind, at

cellent work. All very well, if you have
no higher ambition than to be a medi-
ocre workman. But somebody of artis-
tic instincts and ambition is going to
show better work and explain its good
points. Your best patrons can sep the
differences that have been pointed out.
People buy the finest pictures, the finest
carpets and furniture; they learn to dis-
criminate in jewelry and in wearing ap-
parel. The fact that they have never
seen excellent floral work may account
largely for their lack of taste. But
decorators are waking up, and it means
that the question will occur to each of
us sooner or later, "Do I mean to live

A GOOD FRONT.
A. Meyer, formerly of the Smart Set
Floral Co., has recently started in busi-
ness for himself at Eightieth street and
Madison avenue, in New York city. The
accompanying illustration is prepared
from an exceedingly poor photograph,
but it serves to show that Mr. Meyer is
following the precept of William Scott,
whose frequent advice to young men
was: "Wash all you got, and hang
out all you wash."
Eau Claire, Wis. — O. E. Demmler on

has worked up stock and it is now on
the market.
definite offer of one or more articles in
such a way as to tell the public all
about them and to cause inquiries to
be made at the store for the particular
articles advertised. The other group
of advertisements is composed of those
which aim merely at general publicity,
the keeping of the line and the store
before the buying public, with sales
generally promoted, but less easily
traced. One may be called the rifle
method and the other the shotgun
method of advertising. The shotgun
scatters its fire; it may hit a larger
number of objects, but the execution is
not always so great.
BREITMEYER'S FLOWER C5HAT.
John Breitmeyer's Sons, who now
have a branch store on Woodward ave-
nue in Detroit, as well as the main
store in the Breitmeyer building, have
undertaken the publication of a month-
ly 4-page bulletin of flower news. They
call it Breitmeyer's Flower Chat and
the March issue is printed in that most
striking of all color combinations, yel-
low and black. While the folder is de-
signed as an advertisement, the adver-
tising feature is kept in the background,
the purpose being accomplished through
suggestion. The talk is so good that a
part of the contents of the March issue
is reproduced herewith:
MARCH.
The first of the Spring months Is here with
Its Increased sunshine, giving brighter colors and
more fragrant odor to those many representatWes
of Flora, commonly called Spring Flowers.
One of them, the Violet, for whom we always
have an open hand and ah open heart, is In its
prime condition during this month.
Its blooms are never so large, its color never
so blue, its odor never so delicious, as when
kissed by the golden rays of the March sun.
As a corsage with Rosebuds or in combination
with other Spring Beauties for Luncheon, or as a
specUl aristocratic touch added to a box of
Spftllg Flowers, their superior quality during the
month of March Is universally recognized.
We admire Sweet Peas and Lilacs at Christ-
mas, but what are they compared with the same
flowers during March? For that matter, all
kinds of flowers benefit by the Increased sun-
light and longer days.
As the apple depends on the sun to paint his
cheeks real rosy and red, so do flowers need the
sunshine to fully develop their bright fiolor and
charming fragrance.
Is It not wonderful how a few Tulips and
Daffodils or the gentle Violets decrease our men-
tal or bodily ailments? They seem to be ani-
mated— to be" speaking to us to console us.
T(|e chef may be ever so Frenchy, and his
sauce as tasty as culinary art can make It, still
a few well-arranged flowers increase appetite and
wit most wonderfully.
CARE OF CUT FLOWERS.
Flowers require fresh air that Is moist and
free from gases. Flowers should not be exposed
to draughts.
Fresh water Is a vital need, and the cut flowers
should be placed in same immediately on their
arrival.
The best holders are those which provide suf-
ficient water so that the stems can be set in
deep and well submerged.
The water should be changed at least dally.
The stems of blooms should be occasionally
recut or broken, and dead foliage should b*
removed.

W^eddine Decoration in a Large Church, by Jacob Schulz, LouisviUe, Ky.
As a rule, flowers keep J)est If the blooms or
petals are kept dry, but spraying of the foliage
Is beneficial.
When not In use or display, a cool and dark
place guflJcIently moist is favorable for flowers.
To help produce such conditions, tissue paper or
a light fabric placed over them and well
sprinkled is effective.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Mrs. L.— Burns Ave.
Your Boston Fern will need repotting, not a
larger pot, but new soil. This Is a good time to
have It done. To place the plant In the green-
house is not as a rule satisfactory. The at-
mospheric conditions are so different.
Mrs. D. L. K. — Cass Ave.
A palm with ono or two leaves cut off looks
to us like a handsome cup with a couple of chips
broken out of it. Neither Is desirable around the
house; a cup cannot be mended, and a palm
win use up one to ono and one half years to
reproduce two new leaves.

DECORATION IN A CHURCH.
Possibly no other class of work per-
formed by the retail florist receives so
much attention as his wedding deco-
rations. Not only do the wedding guests
pass judgment on each job, but the
other retail florists who have the op-
portunity study the decoration .and
profit by its perfection or imperfec-
tions. A wedding decoration is difficult
to photograph. This is especially the
case where the decoration is in a large
edifice, like a church. In the case of
the present illustration, a church deco-
ration is shown, the work of Jacob
Schulz, of Louisville. Only a portion
of the work appears, one of the princi-
pal features being the large wedding
bell, which hung so high that it was
beyond the range of the camera. For
this decoration, in addition to several
loads of palms and ferns, twenty cases
of wild smilax were required, and 400
Easter lilies.
PLUMOSUS TURNING YELLOW.
In The Keview of February 16, page
60, I noticed the inquiry of H. & H. in
regard to their Asparagus plumosus
nanus turning yellow. Now, I know
of two ways in which this trouble is
likely to be caused. If the temperature
is kept at 60 degrees at night, on dull
days at 65 degrees and on sunny days
at 72 to 75 degrees, the plants will gen-
erally have a good color. But this im-
portant exception must be noted: After
a succession of three or four dull days,
the temperature should not exceed 68 to
70 degrees, or the foliage will be liable
to turn yellow and sere at the ends.
Again, if a good crop 'has been cut
and the plants have been left a little too
bare, and if water is used freely after-
ward, the same sort of trouble will
probably result; all shoots will come up
with yellowish white ends. After cut-
ting heavily, little watering must be
done for two or three weeks, until the
plants show signs of new growth. I
am speaking from experience, as I grow
thousands of these plants for cut sprays
for the New York market.

THE BRITISH VISITORS.
As previously stated in The Review,
a party of about twelve British horti-
cultural traders intend visiting the
United States on a holiday trip next
month. Sailing from Liverpool on the
Lusitania March 11, we hope to spend
Friday, March 17, in New York, trav-
eling the same night to Philadelphia for
Saturday and Sunday. Monday morn-
ing, on the way to Washington, we
intend to give R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons
a call, and after two days in Washing-
ton, March 21 and 22, we will go on
to E. G. Hill's establishment at Rich-
mond; from there to Chicago to spend
March 25 and 26; thence on to Niagara
Falls, and from there to Boston for the
National Flower Show, arriving March
28, and about April 1 return to New
York for four days.
Our party will embrace all sections
of the horticultural trade, including a
quartet of Covent Garden growers;
namely: G. Prickett, who excels in
chrysanthemums, one of the oldest mem-
bers of the National Chrysanthemum
Society; W. A. Cull and G. Pratley, who
grow ferns and pot plants by the mil-
lion, and L. M. Graves, in the front
rank with cyclamens and primulas.
Roses will be represented by J. Brown,
of W. & J. Brown, Stamford; hardy
flowers by J. S. Gunn, of Gunn & Sons,
Birmingham, who grow and show phlox
and hardy flowers second to none. The
carnation will be represented by C. En-
gelmann, the raiser of Carola, one of our
best growers and keenest hybridizers,
also by the writer, one of the originators
and chairman of the Perpetual Flower-
ing Carnation Society since its incep-
tion. The horticultural sundries trade
will be represented by S. South, of Lon-
don, and E. Barker, of Manchester.
Should any American friends desire
to correspond with the writer or other
members of the party, will they please
address letters in care Messrs. Thomas
Cook & Sons, 1200 Broadway, New
York? J. S. Brunton.
Southington, Conn. — William Fischer,

houses, recently fell through a broken
floor in his place of business and broke

I SEASONABLE
SUGGESTIONS
t
Easter Lilies.
A late Easter nearly always causes
growers to hold back much, of their stock
of Easter lilies a little too long. They
figure that as March has been moderately
warm,, April is bound to be even warmer.
Were we sure of these climatic condi-
> tions, it would be all right, but not in-
frequently a warm, sunny March gives
place to a cold, sunless April and our
theory about an April week being worth
two or three in March gets a severe jolt.
It is always safe to get the lilies along
in good season, for even if they flower a
week ahead of the time they are wanted,
a cold cellar will hold them nicely. The
buds should now be dropping on all
plants for Easter and in an average night
temperature of 60 degrees these will be
in flower in good season. Considerable
moving around of the plants will be
found necessary to have them all in
bloom together. Plants which are only
just showing the buds may still be flow-
ered in time if, subjected to hard forcing,
70 to 75 degrees at night. Frequent
syringing and a close, moist atmosphere
will be needed to hurry them and those
who have a batch of late plants know
t)etter than anyone else how painfully
slow their progress seems, more espe-
cially when we get a daj-k spell of weath-
er during the last few days before Easter.
Bulbous Plants for Easter.
A correspondent inquires if it would
be possible to flower such bulbs as hya-
cinths, tulips and daffodils without fire
heat for Easter. It is not only possible,
but in the case of a late Easter is much
the best way to grow them. It is too
early to start these bulbs, but from
March 25 to April 1, according to the
condition of the bulbs and the variety,
they can be brought from the cellar,
where they have been stored for the win-
ter, and placed on a bed of ashes in a
coldframe, well up to the light". Here
they can be properly watered and cared
for and ventilated freely, and the plants
will be much stockier than if grown in a
greenhouse. Of course, a hot spell of
weather will send these plants on with a
rush and it may be necessary to remove
them to a cold cellar to retard them. On
the other hand, with cold weather a re-
moval to the greenhouse, or a closing of
the frames to bottle up a little sunheat,
may be necessary. To reduce the tem-
perature in the frames on hot days, mats
can be thrown over them. This is better
than shading the glass, as this latter
method tends to draw up the plants.
Hydrangeas.
' We have passed the middle of March
now and Memorial day will be here with-
in ten weeks. There are advantages in
an early Easter, as it gives us bench
space for the Memorial day crops sev-
eral weeks ahead of 1911, for example.
The hydrangeas should all be started
now,, not under benches, but if yojj have
no greenhouse space utilize some cojd-
frames with the neoessarv head room.
Stand the pots on a surface of coal ashes
and be sure to protect them on cool
nights with mats, as a little frost will
injure the tender shoots. If you have
any bench space in a cool house, utilize
it to the fullest extent for the hydran-
geas. They should have the light now, to
prevent their making thin, spindling
growths.
The plants for Easter should now have
flower heads well advanced. If at all
backward, give them a brisk, moist heat
to hurry them along for a couple of
weeks. They are better in quality, how-
ever, if not hard forced. Hydrangeas are
notoriously thirsty subjects and, given
good drainage, it is hardly possible to
overwater them while in active growth
under glass. Feed freely also and in
case of any showing pale foliage, a dose
or two of Clay's fertilizer applied in the
form of a top-dressing, or in liquid form,
or soot water will soon green them up.
Marguerites.
The marguerites intended for Easter
flowering must now have the closest at-
tention. The fact that Easter comes at
a later date than usual makes it possi-
ble to have them in better flower than is
customary. Marguerites enjoy the full-
est light, are gross feeders and, the pots
being full of active roots, manure water
should be given at least twice a week.
Never allow the plants to get dry or
once they are in flower much foliage i.nd
many flowers will be lost. Do not let ;the
plants stand too closely. Elevate some
on inverted pots and stand a saucer below
them to prevent undue drying out. As
a general rule, marguerites well iioweired
and of good shape are not overabundant
at Easter, and well grown and shapely
plants should sell well. Queen Alexandra
is not naturally an early bloomer and,
rather than attempt any forcing tactics,
hold them cool for Memorial day, when
marguerites always sell well. ;
Transplanting Seedlings.
Many small seedlings will now require
pricking off into flats. It never pay$ to
delay this work, as once the little plsints
start to crowd each other, they become
drawn and weakly, and unless caref^illy
handled many will die when transplanted.
A light compost passed through a half-
inch screen is suitable for all seedlings.
If half is leaf -mold and the balance loam
which has had a little old manure mixed
in it, about all seedlings will take kindly
to it. In addition to seedlings, there are
many small cuttings which are just as
well, or better, in shallow flats than! in
pots. Never leave them in the cutting
bench to become hard. When the roots
are quite short is the time to transplant
and not when they have matted the whole
bench with roots. Careful and thorough
watering and shading are necessary es-
sentials for all newly transplanted cut-
tings and seedlings, and shade from di-
rect sunlight and a moderately close and
moist atmosphere for the first fow days
will reduce losses to a minimum.
*^«C>
^^HW
SEASONABLE CX7LTUBE.
The fall rooted cuttings, if not already
in 4-inch pots, should go into this size
without delay. When repotting gerani-
ums and, for that matter, any other
plants in active growth, be sure that the
balls of earth are moist; it makes a
great difference to the future welfare of
the plant. A small ball in a perfectly
dry state takes a lot of water to soak it
after repotting, and if you want to sat-
isfy yourself on this point, just select a
few plants and mark them.
Geraniums at the final shift are better
potted firmly. Avoid much decayed ma-
nure in the soil; any used should be old
and crumble through the hands or sieve
readily. Use a 4-inch pot of fine bone to
each barrow-load of soil. This tends to
build up a firm, stocky growth and one
which will be floriferous, and every
country florist knows that the geraniums
and other'bedding plants with flowers on
are what people will buy, the strong,
green flowerless plants being neglected.
The earlier spring, or rather winter
rooted cuttings, should now be in 3-inch
pots and can get a further shift in three
weeks' time. While not so strong as the
fall cuttings, they will make nice, sal-
able stock. A later batch is well rooted
in 2-inch and ready for a size larger pots.
It is now getting too late to root any fur-
ther cuttings to produce plants of suflS-
cient size for late spring salds, but any
such can be saved and planted out at
home for stock.
At this season are received numerous
inquiries in regard to diseased plants.
This trouble sometimes has its inception
in the cutting bench. It can, however,
be created by giving the plants too much
nitrogen in the soil, which will cause a
rank but soft growth, and sometimes leaf -
spot or bacteria will become rife and
spread with great rapidity under such
conditions. The best way to counteract
it is to clean away the affected leaves.
Allow the plants" to dry out well betv.'een
waterings to assist in hardening the
growths. Air abundantly during favor-
able weather. Keep the atmosphere dry,
rather than moist, and let all possible
sunlight strike the plants. Geraniums
should not be forced at any stage of their
growth. The cuttings themselves root
better in a temperature of 50 to 55 de-
grees than 10 degrees higher, and after
potting 50 degrees should be the absolute
maximum night temperature where stocky
plants are wanted.

NEW BOSES WOETH GROWING.
[Extracts from a paper by S. W. Crowell, of
Roseacres, Miss., read at the convention of the
Tennessee Nurserymen's Association Ju NashvlUe,
Tenn., continued from The Review of March 9.]
A Good New Bedder.
Florence E. Coulthwaite is a splendid
bedding variety, substantial in every
respect. Color, deep cream, overcast
with rose; a unique color.
Dean Hole is an intense salmon pink;
exquisite bud, opening into a mammoth
bloom of wonderful substance. An ideal
garden rose.
Instituteur Sirday is deep golden yel-
low,- with lighter shadings. Distifact
and valuable.
Laurent Carle is an erect grower,
with branching habit, good foliage, long
pointed buds. Color, brilliant carmine.
La Galissiere is a bright, deep pink;
free and constant; very double, with
splendid form and good substance. The
only drawback to this variety is the
weak neck, which can not support the
raammotli blooms. Should be thoroughly
tested.
Lady Ursula is a most beautiful shade
of fresh pinli, of good form; a free,
consistent bloomer. This is one of the
best garden roses, being of strong
growth without any bad manners.
La Detroit has proved fo be an ex-
cellent garden rose. A good pink of
pleasing color.
The Best in Its Color.
Mm'e. Jeanne Guillemot is the best
variety of its color. Buds long and
pointed; deep saffron yellow, shaded
into deeper tints. A stiong, upright
grower,, with free, branchiag habit.
Mme. Leon Pain is of stocky, robust
growth; handsome foliage; silver
salmon, with orange yellow center; re-
verse bright red and yellow.
Mme. Segond Weber is on^ of the
best roSes of recent years. Color, rosy
salmon or flesh pink; flowers of perfect
formation; free and consistent bloomer.
Mrs. Aaron Ward is a most delightful
bedder. Color, deep golden orange,
shading out to lemon or creamy yellow
toward the edge of petals. Good grower
and consistent bloomer. A variety of
exceptional value.
Mrs. A. E. Waddell is a strong, ram-
pant grower, with heavy, leathery foli-
age; buds long and pointed, rosjjr scarlet
suffi^sed with old gold, opening into
coppery salmon. The open flower is
large, semi-double, but lasting. This is
one of the showiest roses extant and is
an ideal bedder.
May Miller is a last year's introduc-
tion. An excellent rose, strong grow-
ing, free flowering. Back of petals is
coppery yellow, suffused with bright
pink; the upper surface peach and apri-
cot, shaded fawn.
Mme. Philippe Rivoire is apricot yel-
low, with lighter center; free grower
and constant bloomer.
Has Been Overlooked.
Mamie is ri grand garden rose which
has been overlooked. A vigorous grow-
er, constant in bloom, giving flowers of
enormous size. Color, rosy carmine,
with distinct yellow zone. A superb
variety.
Mme. Constant Soupert has large
buds, sharply pointed and plump. Color,
deep golden yellow, tinted apd shaded
with rosy peach.
Olivia is a splendid addition to the
red section, which still needs a greater
assortment. Color, deep rosy red, re-
sembling Helen Gould in form and
color.
President Taft is a variety of quite
recent introduction, but it is sure to
become a favorite. Color, shining, in-
tense pink, lasting linder all conditions.
A splendid grower and good bloomer,
and flowers are of good size. This va-
riety should not be confounded with the
rose under the same name which has
been introduced from Europe. The lat-
ter is of small value.
Rhea Reid is perhaps too well known
to be properly placed in this list. How-
ever, it may be safely classed as the
best red garden rose introduced to date.
White Killarney is quite as good as
Pink Killarney and will become a stand-
ard white for the garden.
William Shean is similar in make-up
to Killarney, holding its color well dur-
ing hot weather. Worthy of trial.
Worthy of a Test.
The following varieties of hybrid teas
also promise well, and should be tested:
Andre Gamon, deep rose and carmine,
petals edged carmine lake; Col. R. S.
Williamson, satiny white, deep blush
center, large; F. R. Patzer, creamy buff,
shaded pink, changing to orange pink;
George C. Waud, glowing orange ver-
milion; Reliance, glowing pink, base of
petals creamy white; Rose Gubert,
canary yellow, deeper at center; Rose-
mary, shining silvery pink; Senateur
Mascuraud, amber yellow with golden
center.
Teas.
The list of novelties in this section
is limited, but every variety noted is a
distinct and substantial addition to this'
beautiful type of rose.
Blumenschmidt is a sport from Mile.
Francisca Kruger, having every good
point of the parent variety. Color, pure
citron yellow, outer petals edged ten-
der rose. A splendid bedder.

DISEASED BEACON AND VICTORY.
I send herewith some carnation foli-
age, which is affected by a disease that
is new to me. Kindly let me know what
the trouble is and how I ought to treat
it. So far, it seems to be confined to the
Beacon and Victory. G. N. L.
I have never been able to satisfy my-
self as to the exact classification of the
disease you are complaining of. Part
of the trouble appears to be leaf-spot,
while other leaves look more as if they
had been dried up by stigmonose. I have
seen this frequently on Beacon, and it
seems that when it gets a firm hold on a
plant, it usually destroys it in time. For-
tunately, in the cases which have come
under my notice there were only a few
plants affected, and, by pulling these up
and. burning them, the trouble was got-
ten rid of. It does not seem to spread
much, as the diseased plants would stand
right among perfectly healthy ones.
So I would advise you simply to pull
up these diseased plants and burn them,
as I do not think you can doctor them
up enough to get any returns from them
this season. A. F. J. B.
THBIPS AND LEAT-SPOT.
I am sending by separate mail some
buds and foliage from my carnations. I
have about fifty plants which are com-
ing like the samples. Please let me
know what the trouble is and what to
do to stop it. G. H. W.
The buds forwarded show plainly the
ravages of thrips. With warm weather
coming on, you will have to get busy at
once, else they will ruin your entire
crop. Get some tobacco extract and
spray two or three times each week, until
you have them under control. After that,
one spraying each week will suffice to
keep them in check.
The foliage seems affected with the
common leaf-spot. The reason the ends
of the leaves are dried up is because the
spot extends clear across the leaf, and,
the sap being cut off, the entire portion
of the leaf above the spot dries up. Just
cut off these shoots below the joints
where the dried leaves start and the
plant will make new breaks which will
come healthy, providing you remove the
source of the disease. Dust these plants
with a little Grape Dust, p! with dry
slaked lime and sulphur in "equal pro-
portions. A. F. J. B.

A BBOOKLYN BANQUET.
The Greater New York Florists' Asso-
ciation achieved a distinct success with
its first annual dinner, held at Eaub's
restaurant, Brooklyn, N. Y., Thursday
evening, March 9. The attendance was
largo, the decorations beautiful and the
fraternal spirit pronounced. All the
Brooklyn wholesalers were present, and
many prominent growers and retailers.
Addresses were made by David Mellis,
president of the association, and by J. B.
Nugent, president of the New York Flo-
rists' Club, by A. L. Miller, president oi"
the New York and New Jersey Plant
Growers' Association, by J. V. Phillips,
the veteran retailer, and by Mrs. Phil-
lips, president of the Ladies' S. A. F.,
also by members of the press. An ex-
cellent vaudeville entertainment was pro-
vided and dancing followed. The com-
mittee in charge consisted of Messrs.
Wilson, Jahn and Phillips and only eight
days were consumed in planning and
holding the banquet. Those present
were:

The Market.
We have an express strike and a warm
wave, with greatly increased shipments,
to add to the burden of an already over-
crowded market. The retail demand lias
been light since Lent began and gives
no promise of recovery before Easter.
The supply of first-class American Beauty
ro&es has been short for weeks. For the
best 60 cents to 75 cents was easily ob-
tainable last week. All other roses have
fallen, some grand Killarney and Maid
going as low as $6 per hundred March
13. In roses, the week holds out no en
ci.uragement to growers. The best car-
na'iions could be purchased at $2 per
hundred the early part of this week, uud
in large quantities $10 per thousand was
the limit of the buyer's offer. For the
accumulations of both roses and carna-
tions any fair offer of the street men is
accepted.
There is only a limited demand for
orchids, and prices are made attractive
by the wholesalers, with tardy and dis-
couraging responses. Cattleyas are csm-
ing in great variety; in one shipment
from a Jersey grower I counted fifteen
varieties. Lilies are abundant and in
large quantities 8 cents was the best
offer obtainable March 13. In some of
the wholesale stores the enormous sur-
plus presages an abundance for the rap-
idly approaching Easter season, now less
than four weeks distant. There is plenty
of valley and an oversupply of all kinds
of bulbous stock, especially of daffodils,
the southern shipments having already
begun. The sweet pea arrivals also are
enormous and the demand for any but
the best of them is nil. Unless there
comes a spell of exceptionally warm
weather there will be no shortage of vio-
lets for Easter, as seemed possible a
few weeks ago. As low as $1 a box was
accepted for the accumulations March 13.
Club Meeting.
President Nugent has the commend-
able habit of opening the club's meet-
ings promptly at 8 p. m. March 13 for
the legislative committee P. O'Mara
reported his visit to Albany with
Messrs. Pierson, Powell, Kasting, Vick
and others. C. H. Totty gave his ex-
periences with a sijmlar bill in Jersey,
for a grant of $30,o5D for greenhouses
at New Brunswick Experiment Station.
The bill already has received the ap-
proval of the house. He urged all Jer-
seyites to lend their influence in its
favor.
Robert Young reported for the outing
committee: The date, June 28; the
place, Wetzel's; the boat, the Isabel;
the tickets, men, $4; ladies, $2; chil-
dren, $1; prizes only for ladies and
children; no souvenir program.
W. E. Tricker, Jos. J. Broezert,
Charles Knight and S. Whitfield were
elected to membership and L. W. C.
Tuthill proposed. The resignation of
Fred Weir, U. G. Scollay, M. A. Bowe
and A. L. Don were accepted with
regret.
Messrs. McConnell, Kessler Bros.,
Wiesman, Zeller, Schmutz and Schultheis,
Jr., were appointed a decorative com-
mittee for the club's banquet, for
which Mr. Weathered reported most of
the seats sold. The club voted to en-
tertain the English tourists at the ban-
quet and Messrs. O'Mara, Shaw and
Traendly were appointed a committee
to • meet them on the arrival of the
Mauretania March 17. Mr. Vincent, of
White Marsh, will also be in New York
to welcome them.
W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., reported for the
market committee, H. A. Bunyard for
the transportation committee, W. F.
Sheridan for the committee on resolu-
tions.
Of the exhibits Charles Weber's
vases of Brooklyn carnation and Seed-
ling No. 2 were highly commended;
Beacon and Alma Ward carnations
from Wm. Eccles, Oyster Bay, received
a cultural certificate; Howard Gould
carnation and Seedling No. 513 from
the Cottage Gardens, each received a
cultural certificate. A. Zvolanek, Bound-
brook, staged sweet peas in nearly 100
varieties, including winter-flowering
Spencers, and received certificates,
commendations and thanks of the com-
mittee. Lewis P. Lord, of Minneapolis,
was a visitor and showed his frost-
proof plant box, which was awarded a
certificate of merit. The award com-
mittee reported on a visit to C. H.
Totty, February 24, to see his new car-
nation, Wodenethe, which scored nine-
ty-three points and received the club's
certificate. Also the committee visited
the plant of P. A. B. Widener, Ogontz,
Pa., William' Kleinheinz, gardener, to
see his new carnation. Dimple Widener,
which scored eighty-eight points and
was awarded the club's certificate.
Messrs. Bunyard and Miller gave
short addresses on the National Flower
Show and the National Sweet Pea So-
ciety. John Birnie read a practical and
interesting paper on "The Benefit to
New York Floriculture in the Estab-
lishment of the New Plant Market."
I. S. Hendrickson read a paper on
"How Can the Gladiolus Be Made a
Popular Florists' Flower?" James T.
Scott spoke eloquently on "Why Flo-
rists Do Not Take More Interest in the
Nursery Branch of the Business."
Frank McMahon spoke of the damage
the trade sustains from leaking gas

pipes, and this provoked considerable
discussion. Harry Turner, back from
England, gave a talk on his holiday
experiences there.
Various Notes.
In the plantsman's department of the
trade there is much to encourage the
growers. The new market which opens
April 1 at Fifty-ninth street will prove
a great boon and boom to the plant grow-
ers in and around New York. The open-
ing of the preliminary market will speed-
ily be followed by the completion of the
larger and permanent market under the
bridge, and already many other branches
of the trade are planning for oflSces,
branches and conveniences for display
that will bring them in daily touch with
a multitude of people. The outlook for
a great market is bright and Secretary
Siebrecht deserves great credit for his
persistency.
The MacNiff Horticultural Co. reports
a wide demand for seeds and will de-
velop this branch of its business.
The New Yorkers who accepted the
invitation of H. A. Dreer to visit the new
greenhouses at Eiverton are loud in praise
of the magnificent plant and the splen-
did reception accorded them. A telegram
from Wm. F. Dreer, who is in California,
was read by Mr. Thilow, who made the
welcoming address. An eloquent and
humorous oration by Robert Craig fol-
lowed. A buffet lunch was served and
special trains were provided for the
guests. The whole affair was up to the
Dreer standard. This immense new enter-
prise is only a beginning!
Anton Schultheis, of College Point,
has been confined to the house with a
severe attack of the grip. Charles Mil-
lang has also lost several days in a fight
with the prevailing malady.
Adolph Myer, Eightieth street and
Madison avenue, and Miss Delia Jacoby
will be married April 2.
MacDonald & Schreiner, at Seventy-
first street and Lexington avenue, have
an up-to-date corner store and are fast
building up a good family trade.
The Florists' Club's banquet this week
Saturday, at Shanley's, promises to be
the floricultural event of the season.
J. McHutchison is traveling in South
America.
The second monthly exhibition of the
Horticultural Society of New York took
place March 8 at the American Museum
of Natural History. A larger attendance
and plant display than usual was encour-
aging. Winthrop Sargent, of Fishkill,
won the silver medal for carnation
blooms, with his new white Wodenethe.
Scott Bros., of Elmsford, received a cer-
tificate of merit for their new red carna-
tion, William Eccles. Anton Zvolanek,
of Bound Brook, received a certificate of
merit for his winter (flowering sweet
peas. Lager & Hurrell, of Summit,
N. J., showed many rare kinds of orchids
and received a silver medal for their un-
named Schroederai.
Moore, Hentz & Nash have added a
shamrock side issue to their cut flower
enterprise. The demand for shamrock
plants of the genuine Irish parentage is
persistent this year.
Charles A. Dards is enjoying a brief
holiday in the south.
William Tricker, of Madison, N. J.,
foreman for Charles Totty, was fortunate
a week ago in saving his home from de-
struction by fire. It was a close call.
The attendance from New York at the
National Flower Show will be large.
Many will go by boat Friday evening,
March 24, and some will spend the entire
week at the Hub.

COLUMBUS, O.
. The Market.
Trade has been rushing for the last
two weeks. There has been a great
deal of funeral work of late, which
has made the demand heavy on all
kinds of stock. The few clear days we
have had have increased the supply
considerably. Roses are more plentiful
than at any time this season, and car-
nations are coming in heavily. While
the demand has been strong on them,
there has been quite a surplus and
some of the stores were offering spe-
cials on carnations March 11. Sweet
peas are plentiful, but demand for them
is excellent. Bulbous stock is coming
in heavily and the report from growers
here is that it will be hard to hold
some of the stock back for Easter^
especially in the bulb line.
Various Notes. ')
All the greenhouses are taking on
the look of spring, with the repotting
of geraniums and the general line of
bedding stock.
There was a meeting of the officers
of the Florists' Association at the
Chittenden hotel March 11, in refer-
ence to taking some action to drive the
Greeks off the streets. Quite a num-
ber have made their appearance in the
last week.
The club dance March 8 was quite
a success in a financial way, as well
as providing a social good time.

BOSTON.
The Market.
Trade was only moderate during last
week. Weather conditions favored a.
much increased flower production and
while the demand, for the lenten season,
was good, it was insufficient to use up
the heavy arrivals. White flowers have
Bold better than colored ones, and while
these hitherto have been in rather short
supply, this temporary shortage is now
relieved. Beauty roses are now fine and
the best make $6 per dozen. White Kil-
larney has been selling finely, being in
heavy call for funeral work. Both these
and the pink ones are of grand quality.
Richmond is better than it has been here-
tofore this season. Mrs. Aaron Ward
continues in popular favor and many are
seen with quite long stems. Some nice
flowers of the old Bon Silene and Sa-
frano aJe also coming in. Carnations are
in oversupply and many go at $1 per hun-
dred.
Sweet peas are arriving in tremendous
numbers. Those with long stems are
selling at 50 cents to $1 per hundred,
while short-stemmed stock is hard to
move. Single violets are abundant, but
show signs of nearing the end. Prices
on these continue low. Double violets
cut a small figure here, but are selling
moderately well. Bulbous stock is abun-
dant and prices have a downward ten-
dency. Lily of the valley is overabun-
dant and there is something of a glut of
callas and lilies. Spanish iris has made
its appearance; so have anemones, ixias
and sparaxis. Orchids are moving slowly.
There are still sufficient cattleyas to go
around and an abundance of dendrobi-
ums. Mignonette is quite abundant and
antirrhinums are of extra good quality.
The trade in green supplies continues sat-
isfactory. Pot plant trade is getting
quite brisk and everything points to a
record-breaking Easter business. Ram-
bler roses are becoming abundant, while
acacias, ericas, genistas, cyclamens and
many pots and pans of bulbous stock are
B66n.
Various Notes.
Shamrocks have been in big demand
during the last few days. Among the
growers who have sold large numbers are
C. J. Harvey, Needham Heights; Robert
E, Lassman, Watertown, and J. Tailby
& Son, Wellesley.
The Halifax Garden Co., in addition to
its usual heavy shipments of sweet peas
and carnations, has added mignonette,
which they are daily sending of fine qual-
ity to H. T. Capers.
Adolph E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, Mass.,
has an extra fine cut of antirrhinums of
the best selling colors. He is also an
expert carnation grower, as the splendid
quality of his Winsors, Fenns, White
Perfections and Enchantress testifies.
Prof. E. A. White, of ^mherst, will
sail March 22 on the Bermudian for a
trip to Bermuda, with Mrs. White, who
has been quite sick for some months.
From Peiree Bros., at Waltham, some
fine shipments of cinerarias of the large
flowered type are coming, also cyclamens
and azaleas extremely well flowered.
Arnold & Petros, on Boylston street,
have had in their window a pyramid of
cut Lilium longiflorum rising to the top
of the window with single violets, Winsor
carnations and narcissi around the base.
The next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, which comes March
21, promises to be a hummer. In addi-
tion to 'a lecture, there will be a lot of
business consequent on the coming S. A.
F. National Show and other matters of
importance to be discussed. A large in-
flux of new members is already assured
and the meeting promises to be the live-
liest and most largely attended in years.
P. J. Van Baarda, of J. Breck & Sons'
force, spent a few days in Geneva, N. Y.,
last week. He will address the North
Shore Horticultural Society this week on
a recent trip to Holland. Peter M. Miller
spoke before the same society last week
on * ' Grass Seeds. ' '
Thomas F. Galvin, on Tremont street,
has an attractive dendrobium window this
week, fine specimens of various types of
nobile and Pierardi being utilized to good
effect. These were grown by F. Vardon,
who cares for Seth Borden's collection at
Fall River.
H. M. Robinson & Co. report lenten
business as satisfactory.
The Montrose Greenhouses should have
some fine quality roses for the coming big
show. Their Richmond and Killarney
are now extra fine. With them Mrs.
Aaron Ward seemed inclined to go dor-
mant in winter, but is now blooming sat-
isfactorily.
It is now apparent that even the big
space in Mechanics building will be none
too great for the S. A. F. show. Com-
petitive entries are now pouring in from
all sides and about everyone in this sec-
tion is planning to show something. En-
tertainment arrangements are being per-
fected as rapidly as possible and every
effort will be made to show all possible
courtesies to visitors.
John Barr's cyclamens ai'e selling out
fast. No commercial grower turns out
nicer plants than Mr. Barr and he has
no trouble in selling several thousands
annually. He has some thousands of
hydrangeas for Memorial day coming
along in heated frames.
W. A. Hastings is able to be around
again after an attack of grip. Mr.
Hastings has been appointed state vice-
president for the S. A. F. for eastern
Massachusetts.
P. Welch is one of those who are
laboring assiduously for the success of
the coming big show. He is specially
interested in the rose section and thinks
this department will make the finest
show on record. Down at the Devon-
shire street emporium, business with
Welch Bros, continues good all around.
Mann Bros., of Randolph, were first in
the market with Spanish iris. They grow
this popular bulb in large qifentities.
They have 25,000 of the small flowered
gladioli. These they are holding mostly
for Memorial day.
Inquiries at the Fottlcr, Fiskc, Rawson
Co., T. .1. Grey Co., R. & J. Farquhar &
Co., and Joseph Breck & Sons, elicited
the information that the seed business
was fairly under way. Mail orders were
heavy and the last few bright days, with
suggestions of spring, had caused a big
increase in counter trade.
E. H. Wilson, the noted Chinese trav-
eler, is expected back in Boston towards
the end of April. Farquhar & Co. will
exhibit many of the new shrubs he has
introduced at the National Flower Show.
They had one beautiful pure white
cerasus at their store last week.
Arthur Griffin, of Woburn, who is one
of the best of our new commercial grow-
ers, finds Pink Delight carnation a free
bloomer and excellent seller and will plant
it much more heavily next season. He
has one of a pure white color.
From the N. F. Comley conservatories,
Lexington, some excellent Mary Tolman
carnations are coming in. White En-
chantress remains a prime favorite with
Mr. Comley. W. N. Craig.
ST. LOUlS.
The Market.
The local market was in good condi-
tion during the whole of last week. There
seems to be plenty of everything, with
the exception of long fancy roses and
Beauties. The retail florists throughout
the city say that trade has been fairly
good since Lent set in, but the bulk of
the work is for funerals. This and the
spring openings downtown will be about
all the work looked for until Easter.
In the wholesale market Monday morn-
ing, March 13, there was a fair supply
of roses, nothing fancy, and Beauties
were in great demand. Carnations were
a surplus in all varieties and good stock
could be bought as low as $10 per thou-
sand, with the Enchantress varieties in
the lead. Lilies, especially callas, are
also more plentiful than the call war-
rants. There are quantities of good
valley and other bulb stock, such as
Von Sions, jonquils. Paper Whites and
a few Romans.
Sweet peas are a glut and the market
is fairly flooded with them in all grades
and colors. California violets are also
a glut and the Kirkwood growers say
that if the warm weather continues, vio-
lets will be scarce for Easter.
Everything in greens is plentiful.
Club Meeting.
At a well attended meeting of the Flo-
rists' Club, held March 9 in Odd Fellows'
hall, a telegram of congratulations was
sent to Treasurer Smith at Edwardsville,
his wedding having necessitated his ab-
sence. He had, however, left a token of
his regard for the club in the shape of a
box of cigars. Early spring work un-
doubtedly kept many members away
from the meeting, as the day was espe-
cially fine. V
Chas, Schoenle and Geo. B. Windier
were appointed to assist the trustees in
the preparations for the celebration of
the club's twenty-fifth anniversary next
June. William Trelease, director of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, announced
that Fred G. Grossart had been granted
the scholarship for which he was recently
nominated by the club.
Walter E. Ogel, of Belleville, was
elected to membership and applications
were received from Frank H. Wild, of
Sarcoxie, and Thomas C. Carr, of St.
Louis.
Henry Jennemann, of Webster Park,
exhibited the new violet wl^ich is being
grown for him by Joe Hauser. The
judges pronounced it quite an improve-
ment over the California variety. The
St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, showed
a few well grown Cochet rose blooms.
The club is making preparations to
assist in entertaining the American As-
sociation of Nurserymen when they meet
here in June. Wholesalers from other
cities, who have been supplying local de-
partment stores that have no regular
flower departments, were condemned by
a vote of the club, as local wholesalers are
prohibited from this practice. The sec-
retary was instructed to notify such
wholesalers of this action.
C. E. De Wever suggested that the
local plantsmen and wholesalers should
get together to regulate prices, but
owing to the late hour the discussion
was carried over to the next regular
meeting, April 1.^.

members. He says he has quite a few
who have promised to join before the
August convention.
The fine, spring-like weather brought
out a few plantsmen to open their stands
at Union market. Tom Carr was one of
the first to be ready for business. He
is also one of the oldest at the market.
Ostertag Bros, had the big decoration
at the Coliseum for the Adolphus Busch
golden wedding jubilee. Henyy Ostertag
says it was one of the largest jobs he
has tackled for a long time.
A. G. Greiner says he has a good call
for nursery stock and especially Califor-
nia privet. C. E. De Wever and Emil
Rothenhover are also busy planting out
nursery stock of all kinds.
Otto Sander, in the Century building,
continues his fine window decorations.
Mr. Sander says it pays, as his business
has greatly increased since he started
these attractive displays.
Fred H. Weber had the big decorations
at Vandevort 's department store, which
opened Monday, March 13. A big force
worked all day Sunday to complete it
and 500 fancy Beauties were used.
The Eetail Florists' Association, at its
regular meeting March 6, condemned the
])ractice of outside wholesale florists sell-
ing to our department stores which have
no floral departments.
The Engelmann Botanical Club held
its regular meeting March 13 at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden. The main fea-
ture of the meeting was a paper pre-
sented by H. W. Anderson on ' ' Immunity
from Disease in Plants." i
The marriage of W. C. Smith, of the
W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., and
Miss Helen West, of Edwardsville, 111.,
was the occasion last week of quite a
demonstration by the employees and other
members of the firm. Mr. and Mrs.
Smith will be at home to friends in their
apartments at Shenandoah and Grand
avenues on their return the last of this
week.

The Springfield Florists' Club held
its regular meeting Monday evening,
March 13, at the oflice of the Good &
Reese Co., with a fine attendance.
Progress was reported by the commit-
tee appointed to confer with the park
commiseioners in regard to the proposed
rose garden at Snyder park.
"Plant Life" was the subject of a
most interesting and highly instructive
paper read by Christian Binning, of
the Geo. H. Mellen Co., which showed
evidence of close observation and studj'
for a lifetime, beginning with his
school days in Germany. Sex in plants
was explained along with the aid of
insects in cross-fertilization of flowers,
and man 's work toward reversing na-
ture by efforts toward the doubling of
blooms was decried. A general discus-
sion followed, participated in by John
M. Good, Carl E. Glenn, Frank E. Good
and others, the consensus of opinion
being that the subject is too vast to be
covered at a single session, and that
there is much room for progress in the
way of scientific methods in floricul-
ture, arboriculture and agriculture.

OBITUARY.
J. F. Beyer.
J. F. Beyer, secretary of the Beyer
Floral Co., South Bend, Ind., and the
youngest of the three sons of August F.
I3eyer, head of the concern, died Tues-
day, March 14," after only a short ill-
ness. The funeral will be held at
South Bend March 16. Mr. Beyer was
only 26 years of age. A widow sur-
vives. Associated with the deceased
in the management of the business of
the Beyer Floral Co. were two brothers,
Paul and Will.
John Senger.
John Senger, who for twenty-six years
had been engaged in business at Chicago,
died March 8 at his home, 2330 North
Spaulding avenue. Mr. Senger was born
in Germany almost fifty-five years ago
and learned his trade in his native land.
He came to Chicago thirty-one years ago
and after working at the trade a few
years, started in business in a small way
at the intersection of Milwaukee avenue
and Bloomingdale road. He spent sev-
enteen years at this place, removing to
Palmer square. Later he made another
change of location, to North Spaulding
avenue, where he had seven greenhouses
and a retail store. He was a man little
given to participation in the trade affairs,
devoting his whole thought and attention
to his private business, but he had a
large number of friends in the trade,
for he grew large quantities of miscella-
neous stock for wholesale and retail and
was doing a big business. Mr. Senger
leaves a widow and four children, three
sons and a daughter. The youngest son
is 17, but all three were engaged with
their father and will carry on the busi-
ness.
Mrs. James Wolfe.
Mrs. Mary V. Wolfe, widow of the
late James Wolfe, founder of the busi-
ness of Wolfe the Florist, at Waco,
Tex., died recently at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Annie Wolfe Brigance,
703 South Fourth street, Waco, at the
age of 66 years. Her death was due to
a complication of diseases and her ill-
ness had been long and painful. She was
born in England, but had been a resident
of Waco for about eighteen years. Four
children survive, two daughters and two
sons, Mrs. Annie Wolfe Brigance, Mrs.
Hannah Robinson, Tom and Fred Wolfe,
all of Waco.
J. W. Adams.
Of .T. W. Adams, Mho died March 4,
The Review said in a biographical sketch,
published December 28, 1908: "To have
lived over four-score years, a half cen-
tury of which has been devoted to a
single business, is an achievement which
it is given to few men to accomplish.
John W. Adams is active and alert, men-
tally and physically, and might easily
pass for a man twenty years younger.
For fifty years he has conducted the busi-
ness of a nurseryman, getting his start
when a boy by reading some works on
horticulture. With the aid of his father
he developed a small nursery at his New
Hampshire home and the experience thus
obtained proved most valuable in the
years that followed, when he engaged in
the business for himself. Now he has
thirteen acres under cultivation at
Springfield, Mass., with large green-
houses in conection. ' '
John William Adams was born in
Stratham, N. H., June 20, 1828. Locat-
ing first in the nursery business at Port-
land, Me., in 1866 Mr. Adams bought
a section of Marshall P. Wilder 's nurs-
ery in Boston and made arrangements
to move there. His plans were suddenly
changed, however, by the offer of a
tempting salary as superintendent of a
cop[)er mine. Mr. Adams made a suc-
cess of the mine. July 5, 1867, he moved
to Springfield and started the business
he and his sons have since conducted
with success. He found time for many
outside activities, being a member of the
Massachusetts legislature in 1892-3. Mr.
Adams married Miss Sarah Frances
Waterhouse, at Portland, September 5,
1865, and they had six children, four
sons and two daughters. Two of the
sons died early in life. Walter Adams
and Charles Adams are associated with
their father's business. The two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Oatman and Miss Nellie
Adams, are also members of the firm
of J. W. Adams & Co.
John J. Harrington.
John J. Harrington, who has been gar-
dener for Henry A, C. Taylor, at New-
port, R. I., for thirty-six years, died sud-
denly Sunday evening, March 12, of heart
disease at his home on Annandale road, at
the age of 65 years. He had not been
in good health for some time, but at-
tended to his duties as usual up to the
very last. Ho is survived by his widow,
one daughter and two sisters. The fu-
neral was solemnized from St. Mary's
church Wednesday morning, where there
was a large gathering of relatives and
, friends to pay the last token of respect.
Interment was in St; Mary's cemetery.
There were many handsome floral tributes
from his fellow gardeners in Newport.
William Webster.
William Webster, the oldest landscape
gardener in Rochester, N. Y., died at his
liome in that city, Tuesday, March 7,
aged 94 years. Mr. Webster came to
this country from England in 1833, one
year before Rochester was made a city.
He planned the grounds of the University
of Rochester, and was prominent in the
planning of the grounds at Cornell Uni-
versity, at Ithaca, Kodak park. Maple-
wood park and other places in and about
Rochester.
Heman Glass.
Heman Glass died at Rochester, N. Y.,
Saturday, March 4. In 1881 Mr. Glass or-
ganized the Heman Glass Seed Co., and
remained in active control until about
five years ago. He was a member of
the state legislature during the term of
1875-76.
DENVER.
The Market.
For the last three weeks stock has been
in excess of the demand. The last few
days of February were cold and disa-
greeable, with snow falling most of the
time, making the streets and sidewalks
wet and muddy and putting a damper on
business in general. Then Lent was
ushered in with the first of March, and
for a short time it looked as though it
might have some Meet on trade; but it
has made little difference. Business has
been comparatively good, and the over-
supply of stQck^i^ due to the fact that
everyone "^s cuTting a big crop. This is
especially true about carnations. There
are aiways a few who, when they have
a large cut of carnations, will travel
around from store to store, trying to sell,
18

and when they cannot get the price first
asked, will take almost nothing rather
than carry the stock back home. Such
people are the cause of the drop in car-
nation prices, for when a retailer can
buy first-class flowers at one or two cents,
he is spoiled for a while, and it is a
difficult matter to make him see that
other carnations are worth three cents.
In some of the greenhouses, where a
great deal of outdoor planting is done,
the carnation plants are being thrown
out to make room for young bedding
stock. The California violet peddlers have
disappeared from the streets, much to the
relief of the retailers, and as a conse-
quence home-grown violets are more in
demand. In fact, at times the demand
has been a little more than the supply.
The indications are that there will be no
violets for Easter. It comes so late this
year, the warm weather is almost sure to
spoil them.
Bulb stock is so plentiful you can
hardly give it away. Everyone seems to
have quantities of hyacinths, tulips and
daffodils, and in some cases the prices
have been cut exceptionally low.
Various Notes.
The closing of the Capitol Hill branch
of the Denver postoffice on Sundays
makes quite a difference to the Speth
Floral Co., whose store is next door. Mr.
Speth always has an attractive window,
and many people who went to the po&t-
office for their mail were attracted to the
store and invariably made purchases that
they would not otherwise have made. Mr.
Speth says the loss is considerable.
W. D. Black has opened a flower
store at 1455 Broadway, just across the
street from the Capitol building. Mr.
Black believes in advertising, and is hav-
ing a large electric sign made to light up
his place at night.
A beautiful lavender wistaria, full of
blossoms, and grown by Ben. Boldt, was
on display last week in the window of
the store of Cooper & Berry. It was
quite a novelty, for many people had
never seen one before.
Emil Glauber is dissatisfied with his
automobile. He wants to sell it and buy
a better one. The machine is new, hav-
ing been used only a few months, and
one which almost anyone would be glad
to own. However, it does not go fast
enough to suit Mr. Glauber, so he is
going to sell it and buy one that has
more speed. M. E. J.
LOW FAKES TO BOSTON.
The railroads have been kind to the
National Flower Show. Under the guise
of a convention rate, there being, in
fact, simultaneous conventions of three
of the principal trade societies, the
Eastern Passenger Association granted
a rate of one and three-fifths fare for
the round trip and the Central Passen-
ger Association now has concurred. This
is in effect a reduction of twenty per
cent from the regular round trip fare
and applies as far west as the Missis-
sippi river. Kailroad fares through
practically every mile of the territory
are regularly on a 2-cent basis, so that
with the twenty per cent reduction the
S. A. F. is getting extremely low rates.
The reduction in railroad fares should
have the effect of insuring a large at-
tendance of those in the trade and
should be particularly effective in in-
creasing the attendance from a dis-
tance. It makes the round trip from
Chicago only $35.20. Of course this is
on the certificate plan, full fare going
and three-fifths fare returning.
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLOEISTS.
Meeting of Directors.
By order of the president, notice is
hereby given that the mid-Lent meet-
ing of the executive board of the So-
ciety of American Florists will be held
at Boston, Mass., from March 25 until
April 3, with an adjourned meeting to
be held at Baltimore April 4. Meetings
are called at Boston for 9 a. m. each
morning from March 25 to April 3, in-
clusive. The meeting at Baltimore is
called for IQ a. m. April 4 and will re-
main in session until all business is dis-
posed of.
Beduced Bates to Boston.
A special rate of a fare and three-fifths
on the certificate plan has been granted
by the New England Passenger Associa-
tion (excepting the Eastern Steamship
Co.), the trunk Line Association, and
the Central Passenger Association. Tick-
ets may be secured not earlier than
March 22 and not later than March 27
and will be good returning to April 5,
inclusive. In securing your tickets pur-
chase a regular full one-way first-class
fare and be sure to ask for a certifi-
cate. No reduction in fare will be
made unless a certificate be secured at
the time of the purchase of the ticket.
Immediately upon your arrival at Me-
chanics hall, present your ticket to the
secretary of the S. A, F. A fee of 25
cents is charged by the railroads for each
ticket validated. Certificates will be
signed by the agent March 26, 27 and 28
and at no other time.
When returning, certificates should be
presented at the railway ticket office and
a ticket at three-fifths of the regular fare
will be furnished you.
For those living west of Chicago and
St. Louis, tickets should be bought to
those cities, from which points tickets
may be secured at the reduced rates. It
will be well to confer with your agent
concerning rates and routes.
Convention Preparations.
There will be no hotel headquarters for
the S. A. F. at this convention.
The office of the National Flower Show
committee is in Mechanics building.
Chester I. Campbell, manager of the
show, is in charge. All business con-
nected with the flower show should be
presented there.
Orders for members' tickets must be
presented to the committee in charge of
admission and exchanged for regular tick-
ets. All orders and tickets in hands other
than the owners will be taken up and
canceled.
All members of the S. A. F. and affili-
ated societies should register with the
secretary of the S. A. F., so that a record
may be kept of the attendance and so
that members may be located when asked
for. H. B. Dorner, feec'y.
AMEBICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
Department of Begistration.
J. H. Leach & Son, North Easton,
Mass., have registered Carnation Pink
Supreme, a seedling x Boston Market;
color, flesh pink; size, three and one-half
inches; habit, similar to Fair Maid, flow-
er larger and fuller; strong, stiff stem;
does not split the calyx.
Charles Weber, Lynbrook, N. Y., has
registered Carnation Brooklyn; prosper-
ity X Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson; color,
bright, deep pink; size, three and one-
half inches; habit, same as Lawson, with
foliage not quite so heavy; free growing,
very healthy; prolific, every shoot run-
ning to flower; form of flower somewhat
irregular, slightly fringed.
A. F. J. Baur, Sec'y.
AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
The following gentlemen have ac-
cepted the position of judges of roses
for the first division at the National
Flower Show: William F. Kasting,
Buffalo, N. ¥.; Frederick Burki, Gib-
sonia. Fa.; Otto G. Koenig, St. Louis,
Mo., and Emil Buettner, Park Eidge,
HI.
The program provides for three meet-
ings, headed the commercial growers'
meeting, the business meeting, and the
amateur rose growers' meeting. Presi-
dent Elliott is much in earnest about
making these meetings interesting.
Eber Holmes is the manager of the
show, and will look after the details on
the spot. Any one having any special
prizes to offer, dues to pay, or other
matters of interest, write to the sec-
retary. Benj. Hammond, Sec 'y.
PITTSBUEG.
The Market.
There are few in the trade who do not
realize that this is the lenten season.
Had it not been for several good, big fu-
nerals, there would have been little doing
last week. It seemed like a geueral
slump ail along the line and almost every-
thing felt it. Lilies are abundant and
violets seemed to have gone out of style.
Eoses have held their own, but are due
for a drop, as they are coming in more
plentifully every day.
Club Meeting,
The Florists' Club held its meeting
March 7, with a good attendance. One
new member was elected and seven new
names presented. The subject was
' ' Eoses ' ' and some good stock was
shown.
Bertermann Bros. Co., Indianapolis,
Ind., showed Carnation James Whitcomb
Eilev, a good yellow.
The E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind.,
showed new roses, Mrs. Aaron Ward, and
Carnation Bonfire. Bonfire is the dandy
red; the color could not be improved and
the strong stems and size were satisfac-
tory to all.
C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., showed
Eose Lady Hillingdon, a beautiful cop-
per yellow, for which there is room, and
Carnation White House, which was well
thought of.
James Moore, Phipps Conservatory,
north side, had Cineraria hybrida grandi-
flora, grown from Beck^rt's seed. The
plants were the best seen this year.
Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park,
also made a display of hyacinths, cinera-
rias and a few novelties.
Geo. J. Learzaf , Mt. Washington, Pitts-
burg, exhibited White Perfection and En-
chantress carnations grown within a mile
of the center of the city, right in the
smoke district. They were good.
Frank Crook, gardener for Jos. H.
Park, showed Primula obconica, which
were fine.
Finleyville Floral Co., Finleyville, Pa.,
had a vase of pink and white seedling
carnations, which were considered good
enough to introduce to the trade.
Eandolph & McClements had an assort-
ment of good things, such as they al-
ways grow.
The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. had vases

CHICAGO TO BOSTON.
For the National Flower Show and
convention of the Society of American
Florists, the American Carnation So-
ciety, the American Eose Society, the
Sweet Pea Society of America, and the
American Gladiolus Society, at Boston,
Mass., March 25 to April 1, 1911:
For the above occasion the transporta-
tion committee of the Chicago Florists'
Club has decided to use the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railway, and ar-
ranged with that company for a special
section of the Lake Shore Limited to
leave Chicago 5:30 p. m., Thursday,
March 23, due in Boston the following
evening at 8:30, provided a suflBcier*t
number of requests for reservations are
received to warrant a special section;
otherwise the party will be accommo-
dated in special sleepers attached to the
regular Lake Shore Limited, leaving
and arriving at the same hours as above
quoted.
The rate authorized for this occasion
is one and three-fifths fare from Chi-
cago, on the certificate plan, which
means .$22 going, and three-fifths of
that, or $13.20, returning; making a
total for the round trip of $35.20.
(Don't fail to ask for certificate at
time of purchasing ticket.) Selling
dates: March 22 to 27, inclusive; final
return selling date, April 5. Passengers
coming from points west should pur-
chase to Chicago only, and repurchase
here, as no special rates are authorized
west of Chicago. Pullman rates: Double
upper berth, $4,40; double lower berth,
$5.50; section, $9.90; compartment,
$15.50; drawing room, $20.
Sleeping car reservations should be
made at the earliest possible moment,
and your committee respectfully re-
quests that you write or phone (Har.
7600) G. K. Thompson, General Agent
Passenger Department, Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern railway, 180 South
Clark street, Chicago, HI., who will book
your berths.
Yours very truly,
Philip J. Foley,
E. F. Winterson,
H. B. Howard,
Committee.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
The retailers do hot complain of dull
business; indeed, most of the stores say
trade is excellent, considering the lenten
season, but the wholesale houses find
nothing in the situation to warrant brag-
ging. The supplies of stock do not seem
to be exceptionally heavy for the middle
of March, but there is an abundance of
practically everything. There is a fair
volume of business, perhaps, but prices
have weakened to the point where a
good many of the wholesalers find their
total sales for the first full week in
March did not aggregate as much money
as for the same week last year, with no
better prospect for the present week. It
is to be considered, however, that we
were three weeks nearer Easter at this
date last year.
The one item that is on the short side
is the American Beauty. A few growers
are cutting fair quantities of shorter
stems, but the daily receipts of long
Beauties are extremely light. Were there
any special demand for these it would
be impossible to do anything with the
orders. The supply of long fancy Kil-
larney. White Killarney, Richmond,
Maryland and .Tardiiie is so great that
prices have declined possibly twenty per
cent. Rose stock is not only adequate in
supply, but extremely reasonable in
price, quality considered.
Carnations are in heavy supply and
do not clean up, except for Saturday's
special sales. Early in the present week
there was a shortage here and there of
white carnations, which were being held
in anticipation of the extra demand for
St. Patrick's day. Probably more were
dyed this year than ever before, but the
effort at accumulation prevented iiny
shortage or extravagant prices.
Bulbous stock continues in oversupply,
the outdoor southern crop having arrived.
Violets have not improved in salability
and there are too many low grade sweet
peas. Easter lilies and callas have ac-
cumulated badly; these are not flowers
on which it is easy to force sales. Last
week there was big shipping March 10,
Friday, for Saturday's special sales and
Saturday morning city trade was active,
prices being made sufficiently attractive
to clean out the accumulated surplus.
March 13 found everyone well stocked up
again and indications at the middle of
the week were that no clean-up would be
made until Saturday. Prices for the
moment are in the buyer's favor. Even
cattleyas are seeking buyers.
Chicago to Boston.
It now looks as though the Chicago
party to-Boston, leaving at 5:30 p. m.
March 23 on the Lake Shore, will fill at
least two cars. One car Was already
filled March 14, at which time the fol-
lowing reservations had been made:
Valentine. J. A.. Denver.
Glauber, Emil, Denver.
Phllpott, Harry A., Winnipeg.
Koenlg, Otto, St. Louis.
Critchell, C. E., and wife, Cincinnati.

Jnrgens, August.
Washburn, C. L.

Quite a few others have declared their
intention of making the trip, but have
procrastinated in the matter of reserv-
ing berths. Address E. F. Winterson,
45 Wabash avenue, or G. K. Thompson,

The Weekly Florists' Review*
FOR EASTER
Really good" Lilies will not be plentiful this Easter — too many ready too soon, too much disease,
too many short stems. But OUr Lilies will be fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy and
even; mostly long stems. Protect yourself by placing your order with us now. loo 1000
Long stems, the best in the market $15.00 $125.00
Medium stems, fine flowers 12.50 100.00
Short stems, good flowers 10.00 85.00
These will run three to five flowers to the stem, will be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100
and shipped without rehandling.
KILL312NEY
To the users of the best grade of Killarneys it will be good news that
our crop once more is large— the quality always is the best in this market.
While we have a fair supply of short to medium, the greater part of the
crop is the Select and Special grades. The color in the pink Killarney is
extia good. We never handled finer roses, and we invite all retailers who
want good stock to order some of these.
CARNATIONS
The season has arrived for featuring the Carnation. We have never
had a finer lot of stock, nor do we recall a season when prices have been
more reasonable. Write for quotations on thousand lots— push for business
and you will find this one of the most profitable seasons of the year.
SWEET PEAS
For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never
have had at this date such fine stock or such large quantities as now. Extra
long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as
white and pink. We are siiipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great
quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction.
Valley
Fine Valley is something you need
every day in the year. We al'ways
have it. Order of us and get the beat.
Coftleyas
Our orchids are home-grown,
you always get your orders tilled.
You get the cream of the crops,
double or single, when you order
of us. Thousand lots our specialty.
Bulb Stock
Tulips, all colors ; DafFs, Jonquils,
Paper Whites in large supply.

corporators are: John F. Kidwell, E. O.
Blanieuser and George C. Weiland. It is
stated that the plan is to place the stock
in lots of not more than five shares with
different growers for this market and to
open a Avholesale cut flower establish-
ment, probably in the autumn, but possi-
bly before Easter. A meeting of the
interested parties was held in a down-
town hotel March 14 to further the work
of organization.
E. B. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn
returned March 11 from a six weeks'
vacation spent at Pasadena. C. L.
Washburn is feeling so much better he
has decided to forego his trip to West
Baden.
W. E. Lynch is again on duty at E. H.
Hunt's after several days spent in fight-
ing a case of blood poisoning, which af-
fected his neck and left arm. C. M.
Dickinson has returned from a short trip
to Denver. Clifford Pruner attended the
funeral of Joseph Labo's son at Joliet
March 10.
A. L. Randall offers what seems like
a logical explanation why the arrival of
Lent was more apparent this year than
last, through the falling off in business.
He points out that Easter was three
weeks earlier last year, bringing Ash
Wednesday into the time that roses still
were s 'arce. This year Lent came in just
as the market was easing because of in-
creased supplies.
The demise of John Senger, who was
one of the oldest florists in Chicago, is
recorded in the obituary column this
week.
J. A. Bndlong is having built one of
the largest ice-boxes in the market, to
occupy the north end of their new store,

the remark goes to show how much an

PHILADELPHIA.
The Rising Eastern Market.
The cut flower market is in a state
of lenten dullness. There is plenty
of stock, without any superabundance.
Prices are fair; business is light.
Thursday, March 9, was as dull as
either of its predecessors. Friday saw
a decided improvement, while Saturday
was also fairly active, although there
was nothing approaching a clean-up.
Monday, March 13, was brisk in the
morning and quieter in the afternoon.
The two following days resembled those
of the week before. St. Patrick's day
livened the demand for white carna-
tions, giving them a badly needed sup-
port that made prices firmer, even ad-
vancing them slightly. Prices have
reached a point where the street mer-
chants are willing to buy flowers that
lack support from the florists. Carna-
tions and violets are their favorites
just now, though short roses and odd
lots of anything cheap attract them.
Generally speaking, the best flowers
sell best at good prices for the season,
but there arc times when good stock
lacks support. Beauties, the strongest
flower of a week ago, have dropped in
price. The other leading flowers have
changed little, except that the same
quality averages less.
Speculation in Glass.
It used to be a common failing among
our florists who had made a little money

by hard work to speculate in stocks. This
vice was quite general in a small way a
score of years ago. About that time one
of our principal florists, who went in a
little more rashly and a little less for-
tunately than his fellows, suddenly disap-
peared from view. The place where he
had prospered knew him no more. It
was whispered, "Stocks." Robert Craig
epitomized the situation by remarking:
"A few bright men make money in the
stock market; everybody else loses."
Since then the stock gambling vice has
been less prevalent among our florists.
The wholesalers and retailers derive
enough excitement from the ups and
downs from a market admitted to fluctu-
ate more wildly than even the stock mar-
ket. The growers, however, in these days
of consignments hardly get enough ex-
citement from reading their returns and
watching the thermometer ; with them spec-
ulation in glass has succeeded specula-

tion in stocks. It is a wholly proper
and ofttimes profitable pastime. The
ability to Indulge in this amusement is
limited by the success of the individual.
A florist who has had a good year buys
300 boxes or even 200 or 300, unless he
be a Poehlmann or a Eeinberg, when his
wants are measured by carloads. Pur-
chases of this size are more frequent in
the west, with its wonderful railroad
facilities, than in the east, though this
season the purchases in both sections have
been large.

Mentinn The Review wtien you wnte.
Considerable surprise was created in
the Philadelphia market about a week
ago, \yhen Patrick Joseph Lynch dropped
in on the P. M, Co. In the course of
conversation with Samuel S. Pennock, Mr.
Lynch, as though searching mentally for
something that interested his hearer, re-
marked that glass was so cheap that he
could not resist a little flyer of five and
a half carloads. Mr. Pennock, who knows
the value of glass from top to bottom,
was startled and to make sure that his
caller was in earnest asked what was to
be done with the five and a half carloads.
But Mr. Lynch had not made up his
mind; he just had it in reserve to use
when it became necessary, to furnish a
few more hundred thousands of the dol-
lar-a-dozen rose plants in New Cnstle
or from West Grove.

About seventy-five members of the

guests", including Prof. John A. Howe,
James J. Karins, of Philadelphia, and
Winfried Rolker, of New York city,
attended the annual banquet of the club,
held in Donovan's hall, on Western
avenue. A short business meeting was
held early in the evening and at 8:30
o'clock the large dining room was
thrown open. President Fred A. Danker
made a short speech, in which he wel-
comed the guests and members, and then
turned the chair over to Toastmaster
John C. McAllister, who kept things
moving every minute.
Prof. Howe made the principal
speech of the evening and gave strong
expression to the sentiment that "a
man who loves flowers is pretty near
being all right all the way through.
Lovers of flowers are as a general rule
lovers of animals and children and re-

DAYTON, OHIO.
The Market.
A good thing is apt to spoil, and so
it is with the condition of trade, whixrh
ever since the holidays has been a con-
tinual boom. Business last week was
the slowest it has been in some time.
There was only a slight demand for
'funeral work, and what there was con-
sisted of small orders in the spray line.
During the greater part of the week
the weather was bright and kept stock
coming along flourishingly. Lilies seem
to be still the heaviest crop, and the
most difficult one to dispose of. While
carnations are coming in abundantly,
at the same time in some way they dis-
appear. Roses are coming along finely;
cuts are keeping the demand well sup-
plied, but if the warm weather con-
tinues there will be an extra heavy
crop on in a few days. Long-stemmed
stock predominates. Beauties in the
long-stemmed grade cannot be had for
love or money.
Club Meeting.
The Dayton Florists' Club held an
enthusiastic meeting March 6 at the
J. F. Young establishment on East
Fifth street, nearly every member
being present. The annual election of
officers was held, with the following
results: President, E. C. Mittman;
vice-president, Arthur E. Schmidt; sec-
retary, Horace M. Frank, reelected;
treasurer, George Bartholomew, re-
elected. Steps were taken to increase
the interest of the members in the club.
A. E. Schmidt was appointed as chair-
man of the social committee; E. E.
Schaefer, chairman of press committee,
and Mrs. J. I'. Young and Mrs. Bertha
Hendrichs on the sick committee. The
next meeting of the club will be a
social affair at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Young.

Six Pages of Retailers' Cards
This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili-
ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help-
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and
make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service
for them. To receive your share — ^well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city
represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not
represented and "the other fellow" is — ^we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion.
Why not send your order today — ^now — ^before you forget it?

The Market.
Eoses are not plentiful. American
Beauties are scarce and tea roses are off
crop, not yielding enough to meet the
demand. Though a few of the local
growers are cutting fair stock, the bulk
of the roses are shipped in from Chicago.
Carnations are plentiful. The depart-
ment stores make a run on carnations
every Saturday at 2 cents each and hold
our retail stores down for one day, at
least, eve'ry week. Daffodils were adver-
tised at 1 cent. Violets are plentiful and
meet with a good demand. They are
mostly home-grown and are all single
varieties.
Blooming plants are plentiful in almost
every variety. All potted plants sell well.
They are frequently used as birthday
presents, especially among the Jewish
people. Dutch hyacinths are fine and sell
well. Easter lilies are scarce, but the
florists are hurrying them along for Eas-
ter, as some are rather behind on them.
Sweet peas are most plentiful. Some of
the truck growers are selling them as
low as 20 cents per hundred.
Vaxious Notes.
At the greenhouses of the W. L. Rock
Flower Co., the carnations are in full
bloom. Their sweet peas are fine and
great preparations are being made to get
them ready for Easter. They have a
large stock of rambler roses in all sizes
and shapes, in bud and some in full
bloom. Their large stock of Easter lilies
seemed a little backward, but Mr. Hite
says he will have them in time. They
also had a fine batch of cyclamens in full
bloom and spiraeas in excellent shape.

Their cutting bench was full of carna-
tions. The palm house is in excellent
shape, with some fine specimen plants.
The orchids are doing well and some fine
varieties are in full bloom. They have
had good success this year with single
violets, which are in full crop. They
have some extra large azaleas that were
kept over from last year, which are in
full bud; these were about the finest we
have seen. They were summered under
a grove of trees near the lake and wiU be
on time for Easter. The roses were part-
ly off crop, but with nice weather they
will be on hand with a large cut soon.
Nelson Jarret has his greenhouses in
the best shape he ever had them. He
had ferns by the thousands, begonias in
fuU bloom in all shades — a sight well
worth seeing. There was not one foot of
space idle. Baskets were hung on all the
posts. Kex begonias were under the
benches, like cabbages. One house de-
voted to bedding plants is full to over-
flowing. Pansies in the coldframes are
beginning to bloom. He also grows to-
mato plants for sale and does an im-
mense business. His location is fine.
W. H. Sawvel is cutting some fine let-
tuce. Large preparations are now being
made to plant ten houses to cut flowers
this summer. Seven houses are to be
planted to carnations and three to roses,
such as Killarney, White Killarney, Rich-
mond and Bridesmaid.

The Market.
Last week showed no change in the
local conditions. There is plenty of ev-
erything and the great desire now is to
hold back the blooming stock for the
Easter season. Prices rule about normal
and funeral work keeps things just busy
enough to avert stagnation. With the
conclusion of the Easter period, every-
body will turn his attention to the spring
work, of which there is an unusual
amount planned in this vicinity.

meeting, June 20 to 22. 1911.
The middle of March finds the mail
order seed trade about as busy as it is
possible to be — but orders are not stack-
ing up.
The demise of Hemau Glass, once
well known in the seed trade at Eoches-
ter, N. Y., is recorded in this week's
obituary column.
C' R. Root, of the Barteldes Seed Co.,
has been appointed chairman of the agri-
cultural committee of the Denver Cham-
ber of Commerce.
While Congress was appropriating
$1,025,489,662 at the last session, the
$289,680 for free seeds probably ap-
* peared a mere bagatelle.
A. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co.,
who is widely known to American seeds-
men through his many trips to this coun-
try, is reported seriously ill at his home
in England.
California seed gi-owers, who had no
rain at all until weeks after it was due,
have since had as much too much as they
formerly had too little. Floods have suc-
ceeded the drought.
E. W. King, of E. W. King & Co.,
Coggeshall, England, intends to visit the
California seed growers in June. King
& Co., are large growers of seeds, but
are perhaps best known as sweet pea
growers.
The Rocky Ford Seed Growers' Asso-
ciation, of Rocky Ford, Colo., has an-
nounced that it will grow this year 400
acres each of cucumber and cantaloupe,
500 acres of squash and 100 acres of
pumpkin.
Through the season of 1910 the Liv-
ingston Seed Co., Columbus, O., published
"Livingston's Seasonable Garden Sug-
gestions," an eight-pages' and cover
pamphlet edited by Adolph Kruhm, the
advertising manager. So successful were
the "Suggestions" that the first number
of the second volume is being distributed.
It has a sweet pea cover, but treats on a
variety of other subjects.

a pound and amounts to about 8 cents
on each catalogue, which is too much for
us to pay. There are many American
farmers in Canada who want to use
American seeds and these are denied
them because of the stringent postal and
revenue laws governing the admission
of catalogues into Canada."
Mr. Page declares if the reciprocity
treaty pisses that the seedsmen of the
counti'y will use their influence to have
the law governing the admission of seed
catalogues changed. Under the reci-
procity agreement, seeds will be free,
when both countries act favorably on
the treaty.
Mr. Page consummated what he
thinks is the biggest deal in one variety
of seed ever made west of the Mis-
sissippi when he purchased five carloads
of red clover seed. The seed was all
purchased from one man in eastern
Iowa. The first carload arrived in Des
Moines March 9, and in payment for
it Mr. Page drew a check for $6,600.
The seed was raised in eastern Iowa
by a number of farmers, and following
the harvest last fall, one of them
bought the entire crop of all the others,
holding it for an increase in price. He
refused to sell it in small quantities.
The amount of the transaction will be
more than $20,000.
THE OEBMAN SEED TBADE.
; In the Quedlinburg district of Ger-
many the winter has been unusually
mild, the growing seed crops, flowers as
well as vegetables, looking well and be-
ing farther advanced than usual at this
season. The seed trade of the district ex-
tends itself over practically the entire
world and has had a satisfactory busi-
ness in the season now closing. Unusu-
ally high prices are ruling for peas, car-
rots and onions. Parsley, parsnip, spin-
ach and rhubarb did not nearly equal the
demand. The brassicas, celery, lettuce
and radishes with few exceptions will suf-
fice for the demand. Turnips will suf-
fice for the call. Flower seeds have met
with a larger call than usual and many of
the chief varieties have sold out.
In the Erfurt district trade has been
brisk and would have been larger if some
of the important articles had not been
in short supply. The crop of garden peas
in 1910 was the worst on record here and
was quickly sold. The call for garden
beet from America was not as large as
usual, but stocks were well cleared out,
Egyptian Turnip-rooted being early ex-
hausted. Parsley, parsnips, carrots and
celery were early exhausted, but of radish
and spinach there were enough. Both
garden and field turnips sold well. The
export trade on flower seeds was satis-
factory. Asters sold well and such sorts
as HohenzoUern have run short. Stocks
were a light crop and would have war-

ranted higher prices. The annuals had
met with a good average demand, but in
view of conditions elsewhere it is inter-
esting to note that sweet peas hardly
had the call that was expected. Practi-
cally all the greenhouse grown seeds have
» been cleaned tp. The semperflorens type
of begonia is coming into greater de-
mand each year. In this district the win-
ter has been mild, but changeable. Bien-
nial crops are thus far in good shape,
but there is time for plenty of snow yet,
it being proverbial that a black Christmas
brings a white Easter.
THE ANGLO-AMEBICAN TRADE.
There can be no mistaking the signs
of the times in regard to the increasing
horticultural trade between Great Britain
and America. We have several times
drawn attention prominently to this mat-
ter. The leading business firms in Eng-
land are paying more and more attention
to American orders, and are sending their
agents there with increasing frequency.
An educational party visited a portion
of the States last year, and this year a
party of no fewer than twelve, and pos-
sibly several beyond that figure, is about
to make an American trip lasting over
several weeks. These tokens portend
reciprocity in business, for the visiting
is not one-sided: the Americans come
over here in numbers, although not as yet
in the cooperative party arrangement.
One English chrysanthemum grower who
has arranged for the dispersion of his
novelties in America by means of an
agent in that country, is jubilant at the
success attending his eflForts, and the
well-known Reading seed firm finds such
a demand from the rich owners of gar-
dens in the U. S. A. that it has issued a
special American catalogue this year. Our
English growers, one and all, might do
well, therefore, to adopt Sir Walter
ScQ.tt's motto, "Watch weel, " — Journal
>o^ Horticulture.

Preparations made for St. Patrick's

is normal, with stock arriving in good
condition and plentifully, with the ex-

PROFITS FROM VEGETABLES.
A gentleman with some capital wants
to build greenhouses for growing toma-
toes, cucumbers and other vegetables,
and he has applied to me for loose esti-
mates of what a house 50x250 feet
would bring if planted with tomatoes;
also what a house 12x250 would bring
if planted with cucumbers. He wants
to know what would be the probable
expenses and profits on such stock in
this Missouri city, under favorable con-
ditions and good management. T. N.
I regret that I am unable to give the
desired figures. Perhaps some subscriber
who has about that area of glass wi^l
be kind enough to write, stating what
his expenses and returns are for a sea-
son. It is a difficult problem to figure
out, as no two seasons run alike and no
two growers get the same results.
A beginner is sometimes just as suc-
cessful as older growers, but should
not expect to get as large a profit as
those of longer experience, unless thor-
oughly experienced help is employed
and not too much of it. H. G.
YOUNG LETTUCE JOTTING.
I am writing to you for the purpose
of finding out whether there is any
remedy for rot of small lettuce. I
have never before been bothered in
this way with lettuce of this size; the
plants only partly cover the ground,
the leaves hardly touching. The lower
leaves get soft first; then the whole
plant withers or wilts down. I have
kept the houses cool and dry and have
also kept the lower leaves trimmed off
as well as I could. Could I possibly
have kept them too cool and dry! I
used pulverized sheep manure at the
rate of ten pounds to 100 square feet
for this crop. Would this affect itf
The ground was only fairly rich when
I put the soil in last fall. I raked the
sheep manure in to a depth of two or
three inches. Would it have been bet-
ter to spade it under six inches?
B. A. B.
The sheep manure should have been
turned under so that none of it would
be left on top of the soil — not buried
too deeply, but just nicely covered. If
left on top, it makes a food for fungus
to grow on, which spreads over the
surface of the soil on any particles of
decayed leaves, manure, etc., and in
that way reaches the plants. When
you water, place the hose between the
plants and avoid wetting the foliage.
I believe, however, that you under-

stand the importance of not overwater-
ing and of keeping ventilation on at all
times. The soil should be just moist,
not dry and not muddy.- If your en-
tire crop is affected, you may have to
replant it. If so, turn the soil over
first. Air-slaked lime, scattered over
the surface of the soil, will help to pre-
vent the spread of the fungus, if it is
only in spots. H. G.

To make mc^ney you have
to spend. To grow a crop
of Easter Lilies you have to
plant bulbs. Here's where
you plunge. It's a bet on
the bulbs against the eternal
cussedness of things. It's
you against the chances of
a crop. And YOU HAVE
NO CHANCE AT ALL
UNLESS YOU HAVE
GOOD BULBS. Then you
must treat them properly ;
and taboo the green fly, or
they will be a fizzle. So the
positive requirements are,
first, good bulbs and then
good treatment. Good bulbs
you can get from us — the
Horseshoe Brand. With
them you will make more
money per square foot of
space than with any brand
known, under the same con-
ditions. Write us.

YONKERS, N. Y.
The March mooting of the Yonkors
Horticultural Society was largely at-
tended. Kobert Henry was elected an
active member, shows were discussed,
and it was decided that the fall exhibi-
tion be so arranged that the date will
not clash with other shows in the New
York district. A committee was ap
pointed to arrange for a clam bake, the
date to be decided later.
E. Cochrane 's prize brought out quite
an array of exhibits. Messrs. Wright,
Hoffman and Hebach were appointed
judges, and reported as follows:
Lilium Harrisii Jamesii, first, finely
shown by A. Herrington, superintendent
for S. Ilntermyer.
Violet Princess of Wales, second, of
excellent quality, from H. Nichols, su-
perintendent for W. B. Trevor.
Gardenias from the Lilienthall estate,
H. Scott superintendent, received hon-
orable mention.
The new white carnation, White
House, showing splendid quality, was
exhibited by C. H. Totty, of Madison,
N. J. H. M. B.
Orchids, Easter Lilies, Fancy Roses,
Carnations, Valley and Sweet Peas

PACIFIC COAST.
Oakland, Cal. — The business con-
ducted by Sandkuhle & Carlson since 1906
will hereafter be run by the same owners
under the name of the Sunset Nursery Co.
McMinnvllle, Ore. — Herbert & Fleish-
auer say that the bright sunshine is
bringing flowers in rapidly and of fine
quality. February was an unusually
active month, with a heavy run of fu-
neral work, and March started off with
a rush of business, so they still are hav-
ing need for everything they can cut.
SPOKANE, WASH.
H. M. Sanders is planning to make
extensive improvements and enlargements
of his greenhouses at Elk, Wash. Mr.
Sanders has been in the flower business,
both wholesale and retail, for a number
of years. His jobbing business has
grown to such an extent that it requires
all his attention and he has consequently
sold his retail business, at 722 Eiverside
avenue, to C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane
Florist Co.
The store at present occupied by the
Spokane Florist Co. adjoins the newly
acquired store, and Mr. Kipp will com-
bine and rearrange the two stores in such
a manner as to make one of the most
artistic and attractive flower stores in the
west. The Spokane Florist Co. does not
grow flowers, but is in the retail busi-
ness only.
SAN FBANCISCO.
The Market.
The beautiful rain is still with us and,
as far as appearances go, it will be the
order of the day for some time to come.
This, together with the fact that we are
in the lenten season, makes everything
quiet in the florists' realm. Flowers are
not plentiful, by any means, nor are they
liable to be for some time to come, but,
barring white stock, there are plenty to
go around. Funeral orders have helped
the retailers wonderfully and this class
of work has been well divided among the
stores. With a little more sunshine we
could look for a sharp decline in the
prices of all kinds of stock, but as long
as this dark weather continues we may
expect neither lower rates nor an in-
crease in the quantity of blossoms
brought into town.
Violets are still plentiful and cheap,
and these, with daffodils, are all that we
are getting from outside at present. Car-
nations and roses are a shade stiffer in
price than they usually are at this season
and this can all be laid at the door of the
dark weather. Fruit blossoms show the
results of this also, as do the wild flow-
ers and ferns. Valley is in supply about
equal to demand and the same can be
said of Easter lilies. Tulips, although
not in brisk demand, move well because
of the general scarcity, and the light
colored varieties are finding great favor
for funeral flowers.

IN BAIN SOAKED CALIFOBNIA.
Never in the history of the nursery and
plant trade in the central and northern
parts of California has there been such
demoralization as exists at the present
time. Not that there has been any rea-
son to suspect that the public is not will-
ing to purchase heavily of the goods usual-
ly sold at this time or that there is any
great scarcity of salable stock in the
nurseries. We might easily imagine,
from advance orders booked last fall, that
the deliveries were to be heavy and that
we were to be treated to a good season's
trade. But what a disappointment we
have had!
There was incessant rain for over two
months, which was preceded by excessive
drought for the same space of time, and
the showers are still falling. An almost
entire absence of cold weather, at the
time we should have received it, kept
stock growing up to the latest moment,
and when it finally was considered late
enough to dig, the dryness of the ground
would not admit of handling at all. After
about a month of this peculiar condition,
the heavens opened, the floods came and
they have been coming ever since, until
it seems as if they would never stop.
Already the fruit trees are showing swol-
len leaf buds, caused by the excess of
moisture and the natural warmth of the
atmosphere, and in a few weeks more,
even under the best conditions for trade,
the season will have so far advanced that
the buying public will defer much of
their planting until next season.
It must be borne in mind that in the
portions of the state mentioned, planting
usually commences about the first part of
December and continues until the middle
of March, when, on account of the early
growth, it is no longer safe. The dry-

ness during last December admitted, how-
ever, of nothing of this kind and every-
one prayed for rain. About the first of
this year it commenced and has been
falling steadily since. As a consequence
it has been impossible either to dig or
plant properly, and in some of the com-
mercial places, where many lines of stock
are grown on low ground, the loss from
an excess of moisture at the root has
been considerable. At no time during the
season was it possible to handle it prop-
erly for removing to the heeUng-in
ground.
From all accounts, the sales made all
summer and fall by the largest nurseries
have been heavy, and at good prices as
well, but it is now so late that, even if
we have no more rain, many will defer
planting till another season. This with
many lines of stock is practically ruina-
tion and the brush heap will be decorated
in the spring with many unrealized hopes.
The planting of young nursery stock has
also been interfered with and it is doiibt-

In the southern portions of California
the climatic conditions have been more
favorable to the nurserymen and there
has not been such an excess of rain, but
when one section suffers, all have to con-

NEW MASSACHUSETTS LAW.
On petition of Windsor H. Wyman,
president of the Massachusetts Nursery-
men's Association, a bill (No. 360) has
been introduced in the legislature pro-
viding for the enlargement of the duties
and staff of the state inspector of nur-
series. A hearing recently was held by
the Committee on Agriculture, at which
the slight opposition to the bill was
withdrawn, following the striking out
of a retaliatory clause by Mr. Wyman,
who handled the nurserymen's case and
himself spoke in favor of the bill. Mr.
Wyman said that the nurserymen want
the bill to protect themselves and the
people of Massachusetts, and also to
prevent the spread of the opinion that
has got abroad that Massachusetts nur-
sery stock is not so good as that from
other states, due to the presence of the
gypsy and brown-tail moths.
The state nursery inspector, Professor
Fernald, of the State Agricultural Col-
lege at Amherst, said that nine-tenths of
the work, by its nature, comes between
^uly 1 and September 30, and that he
Took his summer vacation for it. The
inspection must be late, or it would do
no good. If it came in the middle of
the season the insects might get in their
woi'k afterwards. Massachusetts was
almost the last state to have the inspec-
tion law, and it was forced because
other states complained of the poor
.quality from Massachusetts. A few years
ago orchardists complained that while
some of them were taking care of their
trees, neighbors were not, and that as
fast as they cleared up insects came
from others' trees and continued their
evil work. As a result the legislature
ordered orchard inspection and tacked
that duty onto the nursery inspector and
without extra pay. Much stock comes
from foreign sources and the inspector's
force is too small to look after it, de-
spite the fact that the imported stock
often brings pests.
When Dr. Fernald was asked about the
proposed change in the law providing
for the right to adopt a retaliatory pol-
icy if other states decline to accept
Massachusetts stock, he referred the
questioner to Secretary J. Lewis Ells-
worth, of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. Mr. Ellsworth said that if a quar-

Alfred E. Eobinson said that Massa-
chusetts and New England in general
are the best places for the sale of nur-
sery stock. There is no provision at
all now for keeping out moths and other
pests. There should be inspectors to
look over each shipment arriving from
outside the state. New York does this.
It is simply a business proposition not
to permit insects to be brought into a
state. Not only are nurserymen import-
ing much from abroad, but private es-
tates have taken this up also, and all
of these shipments come in entirely
without inspection.

"To Antoine Wlntzer. Vice-President The Conard & Jones Co., belongs the credit of pro-
ducing the finest cannas In existence, excepting only King Humbert. His Venus ^^as
a revelation to every one \7ho planted it, and now he has made a further record with
Mrs. Alfred Conard, a lovely peach pink with petalii as long as they are broad "
(From the paper by E. O. Hill before the Illinois State Florists' Asaoclatlon at Urbana, Feb. 9, 1911.)
This week we want to give you some pointers on—
THE BEST PINK CANNAS OF TODAY
When prominent men like E. G. Hill express themselves as above, and other prominent
men have said the same thing regarding our Cannas, it seems unnecessary for us to add m(.re.

and valuable contributions as to the list of Pink Cannas. Let us call your attention to a few
of the most valuable and attractive.
MRS. ALFRED F. CONARD— Its great beauty makes it worthy to bear the name of
our good friend, the wife of our late President. Has vigorous habit of growth with green fo-
liage ; heads of bloom erect and abundantly furnished : the flowers have a magnificent spread
to their petals, which are an exquisite shade of Peach Pink. Height, 3 feet. Orders booked
for 1912.
VXNUS— A veritable "self-cleanine" Canna, the old blossoms drop of
themselves Just as tbey besrin to fade, so that tbe truss al^^ay s looks bricbt and
fresh. A beautiful say rosy pink, with a mottled border of creamy yellow.
Strons constitution, fine sreen follaKe and alvraya brilliant wltti bloom.

great damage, costing thousands of
dollars to handle them.
J. W. Manning, of Beading, said that
Massachusetts should have the retalia-
tory clause in order to enable the state
to fight the false impression that the
nursery stock produced here is bad.
Wilfred Wheeler, of Concord, said
that the problems of orchardists are
largely those of insects, and if they
are kept out the work will be much
easier.
Charles E. Fish, of Worcester, added
his request for a change in the law to
those previously voiced, and told of his
own experiences to show the need for
state inspection. When he had finished
several others spoke for the bill.
In closing the hearing President Wy-
man said that he would withdraw the
retaliatory provision.
DUTY ON ROSA EUGOSA.
August Kolker & Sons, New York,
have established the $1 per thousand
customs duty as applying to Eosa
rugosa under the present tariff law.
Being assessed 4 cents each on an im-
portation, they filed a protest which
has just been sustained. Appraiser-
General Waite said:
Wo think the testimony in this case fairly
establishes the fact that these goods are brier
roses. This board held in G. A. 4635 (T. D.
21922), that the species of rose plants known as
Rosa rugosa was properly dutiable as a brier
rose under the law of 1897 (par. 252). The pro-
vision for "brier rose" has been reenacted into
the law of 1909 (par. 264). No appeal was ever
taken from the above findings, and under well-
<'Stablished rules of interpretation we think it
was the intention of Congress that Rosa rugosa
should be dutiable as previously classified under
the same language. We therefore hold these
goods to be dutiable as claimed in the protest,
overruling the classification of the collector.
Eolker & Sons and G. J. Johnson
have been sustained in protests at the
assessment of duty on evergreen seed-
lings,

Pink
Boston Market
PENNSYLVANIA
A seedlinsr of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for the past five years
and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel confident it is one of the best
commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
The color is a shade lighter pink than Lawson; form high built, much like Boston Market ; stem
long and graceful : healthy grower; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker— a pink Boston Market— only much
larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties.
Come and see it growing. I guarantee same to be in perfe< t health. $6.00 per 100;|'i0.00 per 1000

GLEN COVE, N T.
The monthly meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held in
Pembroke hall, Wednesday afternoon,
March 8. President Trepess occupied the
chair and there was a good attendance.
Mr. Holloway, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, gave a report of the
euchre party and dance which were held
in February, and these were found to
have been a great success financially. A
hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr.
Holloway and his colleagues for the able
manner in which they had performed
their duties.
Duncan Beaton was elected to active
membership and there were three applica-
tions for membership.
Henry CUffe, James Elmslie and
George Gilder were appointed judges of
the monthly exhibits and their decisions
were as follows: The society's prize
for one cineraria, A. MacKenzie; one
cyclamen, A. MacKenzie; one plant of
stocks, A. MacKenzie. Honorable men-
tion to E. Marshall, for cyclamen; cer-
tificate of culture to J, Everett, for
mushrooms; honorable mention to J.
Everett, for vase of Bride roses; honor-
able mention to Pierre Andevart, for
violets; honorable mention to T. Petroe-
cia, for chicory; thanks of the society
to Harry Gaut, for sweet peas; thanks
of the society to Valentine Cleres, for
gardenias. Henry Matz won the cup
presented by * * Buds, ' ' of New York city,
for the best collection of bulbs in bloom.
J. Everett gave a few interesting re-
marks on the growing of mushrooms.
It was decided to accept the offer of
500 vases by Mrs. Bucknall. It was de-
cided not to hold any show during the
coming summer. The society's prize in
April will be for twenty-five mixed car-
nations, calceolarias and sprays of flower-
ing shrubs. E. W.
Carnation Norwood
This variety has been grown by us for four years and has proven to be the
best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about 3>4 inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial
variety. Rooted cuttings (immediate delivery), $10.00 per 100;
$76.00 per 1000.
It will pay every Carnation Grower to plant this variety—
there's money in it.

BRIGHT SPOT
Outclasses everything heretofore gfro^vn in the dark pink section. Won first honors in the 100 class for
best dark pink at the A. C. S. meeting, Pittsburg, January, 1910, and has won many other honors.
It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even sh^e, size 3^ inches, an early and continuous bloomer, brings fully 26
per cent more flowers to the plant than Lawson at its best ; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems ; calyx does n6t split.
It is a good shipper, and the cuttings root easy.
While with most carnations early cuttingfs are desirable, this is not so much the case with Brig^ht
Spot ; it is such a strong^ g^rower that March Cutting^s make just as g^ood and very larg^e plants by the
end of July.

The last monthly meeting of the Tri-
City Florists' Club was held at the
greenhouses of A. Anderson, Ninth
street and Eleventh avenue. As this
was also the annual meeting, great in-
terest was manifested in it, and all the
members but one were present.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President — Theo. Ewoldt, of Daven-
port.
Vice-President — John Staack, of this
city.
Treasurer — William Knees, of this city.
Secretary — John Temple, of Daven-
port.
Financial Secretary — Harry Bills, of
Davenport.
Directors — A. Eckstrom, of this city;
Ed. Patton and H. Housley, of Rock
Island.
The banquet committee reported ev-
erything in readiness for the annual
banquet, which will be held March 23,
and will be on a larger scale than ever
before. "Greenhouse Construction"
was the topic for the evening's dis-
cussion, after which a fine supper was
served by the host and a social hour
was enjoyed.

Bowling.
Twenty-five members of the Buflfalo
Florists' Club visited Rochester on
Wednesday evening, March 8, the event
being the return game between the Buf-
falo and Rochester bowling teams. The
visitors were met by a delegation of local
florists, including Geo. B. Hart, A. F.
Vick, John Dunbar, C. H. Vick and H.
B. Stringer. Dinner was served at the
Odenbach Hofbrauhaus, with John Dun-
bar, superintendent of city parks, as mas-
ter of ceremonies. The principal address
was made by William F. Kasting, of
Buffalo.
The bowling commenced about 9 o 'clock
and the Rochester boys say little about
the score. Probably another game will
be played in each city before the close
of the season.

LENOX, MASS.
The Lenox Horticultural Society held
an unusually interesting and instructive
meeting on Saturday, March 4. It was
presided over by President Foulsham.
The attendance was large and the mem-
bers were amply rewarded by hearing
a practical paper on "Mushroom Cul-
ture," by W. Jack. The essayist ex-
plained all the details in the process,
beginning with the preparing of the
raaniire, and said that the failures
were due, in a large degree, to the
dryness of the manure when the beds
are made. A good discussion followed
this paper, most of the members taking
part, and the essayist was accorded a
hearty vote of thanks.
A. J. Loveless was awarded a cer-
tificate of merit for a fine vase of
Leptosyne maritima. It is rather a
pity that this beautiful annual is not
more widely grown. It somewhat re-
sembles the marguerites, having large,
lemon yellow flowers, borne on long,
stiff stems. It is fragrant and is val-
uable for cut flowers. It can be suc-
cessfully grown in a temperature of
50 degrees.
George Breed was awarded a vote of
thanks for a vase of Gold of Ophir
roses.
The schedule for the forthcoming
shows was adopted as read. One new
clause was added, to the effect that
none other but the society's card should
be used on exhibits at the shows. The
following exhibitions will be held: An-
nuals and perennials, July 26; fall ex-
hibition, October 25 and 26.
The annual dinner of the society will
be held at the Curtis hotel, April 18.
.Tames Clifford, chairman of the annual
ball committee, reported that it had
been one of the most successful held by
the society, financially and otherwise.
The committee is to be congratulated
upon the success attending its efforts.
Rose and carnation night will be Sat-
urday, March 18, and competition in
the various classes will undoubtedly be
seen.
The society is forging ahead, having
elected thirteen active members and
three life members since the new year.
Quite a large delegation will attend the
National Flower Show at Boston.

BALTIMOEE.
The Market.
The quality of cut flowers coming to
town this week has never been excelled
at this season of the year. It really
seems that by far the largest proportion
of many varieties of stock has moved
into the special class. The demand is
still unequal to the supply, but additional
shipping orders have given a better tone
to the market.
Carnations continue to be the weakest
flower on the list and the buyers who
can take a quantity secure far better
than the listed quotations. Pink and
white are mostly in demand, but there
were days on which reds were in demand.
Boses of every variety are of excellent
quality and more than enough to go
around, except occasionally in the fancy
grades.
The supply of bulbous stock is now at
its height. The jonquils, of which large
shipments are being received from the
south, are selling for 10 cents per dozen.
Tulips in every color are moving well.
Sweet peas are wonderfully fine; white,
pink and lavender ones are obtainable in
any quantity and are really the only
flowers which are in steady demand. Vio-
lets are everywhere and the demand is
heavy, but at exceptionally low prices for
extra good stock.
Various Notes.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
held its annual election of officers
Marcn 12, and the business meeting was
followed by a banquet.
The Washington ladies' bowling team
bowled several games with the Baltimore
ladies' team on the afternoon of March
12, at the Garage alleys. This was fol-
lowed by a theater party at night.
The building fever is on in earnest
around Baltimore and there are prospects
of a banner year for greenhouse con-
struction, largely on account of the low
price of glass. About forty houses will
be built here.
R. A. Vincent will entertain a number
of English horticulturists at his nur-
series. They will also visit Washington
on their way to the National Flower Show
at Boston.
A large number of Baltimore florists
are planning a trip to the National
Flower Show. Q.

New Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander
New Marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander.
The most valuable flowering pot plant
'which has been offered to the trade
■ince the introduction of the Lorraine
Begonia. I
In this we have unquestionably the most im-
portant flowering plant introduced in recent
years, which, like its predecessors, the French
Marguerite and the later introductions, white
and blush Queen Alexandra, will be grown exten-
sively for cut flowers during the winter, while
its pure white color will make it more valuable
than any as a pot plant for Easter decorations.
Unlike all other Marguerites, its color is of
the purest glistening white throughout; in size it
frequently measures 5 inches across; the center
of the flower is a mass of closely arranged
fringed florets; these are surrounded or edged by
the broad, shining white ray petals, forming a
flower which reminds one forcibly of a glorified
double Pyrethrum. These are produced on long
stems with a freedom not known in other varie-
ties of the Marguerite.
The entire stock of this grand novelty has
been placed in our hands for American distribu-
tion and we are now booking orders for delivery
the latter part of April or early in May:
Good 2% -in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
The above prices are intended for the trade only.

The Market.
Trade has been rather uncertain for
the last two weeks. One day is busy and
the next quiet. Flowers are plentiful,
spring bulb stock is coming in large
quantities and most of it is consumed
daily. Eoses and carnations are of good
quality, but Beauties are still poor. Sweet
peas, valley, lilies, lilacs, orchids and
daisies find a good market.
Various Notes.
Herman Junge and Carl Sonnen-
schmidt ■were visitors at Eichmond last
week, as Smith & Young are going to
add some glass this year and they were
inspecting the E. G. Hill Co. plant.
Eeinhold Schilling, lately with John
Eieman, is back at the old stand at the
New York store.
Wm. Smith, with the Eoepke-Eieman
Co., has received an offer from an east-
ern baseball team to catch for them this
year.
Geo. Gause, of Eichmond; J. E. A.
Haugh, of Anderson ; Nixon Gano, of
Martinsville; E. J. Brown, of Shclby-
ville, and Mr. Humf eld, of Muncie, were
visitors in the city last week.
Will Eoepke has plans ready for a new
residence, to be built in the neighbor-
hood of their greenhouses.
E. E. Temperly has been in the hospi-
tal for the last week suffering with ap-
pendicitis.
Adolph Baur, Pahud Floral Co., A.
Wiegand & Sons, the Smith & Young Co.,
and Bertermann Bros, have been invest-
ing in glass lately.
L. F. Benson has purchased an auto for
delivery purposes.
The smiling face of Mr. Farney, with
M. Eice & Co., was seen in the city last
week. Mr. Farney reports business good.
Among the local florists who have sig-
nified their intention of attending the
National Flower Show are Adolph Baur,
John Bertermann, Irwin Bertermann,
Henry Eieman and Harry Eieman.
Baur & Smith have announced their
intention to dissolve partnership in June.
Adolph Baur is to take the new place
and Sidney Smith is going to resume
operations at the old place. Good luck
to both.
Henry Eieman has been putting up
some cement benches of his own con-
struction. Mr. Eieman thinks them a
big improvement and expects to finally
equip his whole place with them.

gand & Sons, leaves this week for Port-

miTThe old reliable firm, GODFREY ASCHNANN, is not connected with any other firm and is more active than ever
Prepare for Easter
FROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY?
From our old friend, Godfrey Aschmann, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall be oul?
man this Eaater, and, as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our man in the future. He always treated us right before,
and we can rely upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff.
What Florists Say About Our Lilies
Dally yisitors to our establishment, among
them two well known growers, one from Cincin-
nati, Ohio, the other from South Orange, N. J.,
say: "Yon have the best lilies we ever have
seen on our visits to many florists' establish-
ments. We congratulate you. You certalply
can be proud."
An immense stock of choice Easter plants,
blooming Easter week, or earlier. If desired, are
now ready for immediate shipment. Come your-
self or mall your order direct to headquarters.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Paclflc oceans, for many
years past. Is sufllclent guarantee to prove our
ability.
Lilies to burn, to burn, to beat
the band
Easter Lilies, Lilium multlflorum, the genuine
Japanese Easter Lily, directly Imported by us.
Ws have a friend In Japan who looks after our
interests there. He picks out for us only the
j:ood, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are grow^ing, the 10-ln. bulbs, and therefore he
<iblps to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to burn; can supply, If
nothing happens, every customer and others
who want lili«?s. If you see them growing in our
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-

•Pennsylvania Is not an exhibition bloom, bnt
It is a very free bloomer, a good sized flower
and a splendid one to grow commercially. We
believe It is a good money maker and there Is
nothing better on the market for a grower re-
tailing his own stock, as this variety will hang
on for ten days to two weeks in splendid shape.
We have never had a better keeper. Buyers this
year, we believe, will go into it much heavier an-
other season.

The Market.
The lenten season opened rather quietly,
though there seems to be about the aver-
age number of funerals. The warm
weather last week caused the roses and
carnations to bloom freely. Bulb stock is
coming fast and probably will be all gone
by Easter, There will be plenty of roses
and carnations for Easter, judging from
the present outlook.
Various Notes.
Nellie Goodge is cutting some nice car-
nations. She has a nice variety of plants
in good condition.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. reports
business as a little more quiet than for
some weeks, but has no complaints to
make. The company has a large supply
of cut flowers and potted plants of all
kinds. The roses are excellent and the
carnations are fine, but the warm weather
has about finished the violets.
Julius Niednagel & Sons are cutting
lots of carnations and roses. Julius Nied-
nagel is away on a vacation and expects
to return about Easter. He went by way
of New Orleans on a trip to Florida,
Mrs, Elsperman says business is a lit-
tle quiet at present.
Henry Seymour is having a nice run
of trade. He is cutting lots of good car-
nations and has a ready sale for all of
them. His general stock of plants looks
good,
Ben Kramer is kept pretty busy right
along. He is breaking in a new store
boy, his other boy having left him.
What!
No Nore Split Carnations?
Not if you use Tank's Artificial Calyx,
A sure preventive. Prevention is better
than cure ! So simple that a boy can
put them cfn and when the bud has
reached a certain stage it is taken off
and put on another,

Greenhouse Heating.
GAS AS FUEL.
Ffeeling that the cost of heating our
plant is too high, we should like to
know whether there is a boiler in the
market especially constructed for gas
as fuel? We shall be much obliged for
any information along this line, as well
as for other people's opinions about
the most economical gas burners.
C. F. C.
I do not know of any boiler that is
especially constructed for burning gas
as a fuel, but almost any of them can
be used with gas, it being only neces-
sary to fit a gas burner to the boiler
and connect it up.
HEATING WITH EXHAUST STEAM.
Has any one of the commercial grow-
ers tried to heat greenhouses with ex-
haust steam from factories? There is
an electric light plant about 300 feet
distant from our greenhouses and the
only obstruction is a street. We could
get a contract for the exhaust steam at
small cost, if we were sure that the
plan would be practical. C. F. O.
It is entirely practical to heat a
greenhouse with exhaust steam, if it
does not have to be carried more than
300 feet. Care should be taken to
have the pipes thoroughly insulated.
They can be run underground, through
sewer pipes or in grout conduits.
TO IMPROVE THE CIECULATION.
I would appreciate any information
on hot water circulation. The circula-
tion in my piping is too slow. I have
an open system. Would a change to a
closed system be the best remedy?
The boiler is not quite low enough.
The expansion tank is about five feet
above the boiler. When I run a good
fire it makes steam, stops the circula-
tion and forces the water through the
expansion tank. How would I have to
arrange the piping for a closed system?
There is a vent pipe »n the farther end
of each pipe. F- ■^•
Before putting in a closed system, it
will be well to make several changes in
the present piping and give it another
trial as an open system, especially as
the changes suggested will be necessary
even if it is to be changed to a closed
system. I would suggest running the
flow pipes so that they will have a
slight slope from the boiler. Keep

capacity of the boiler, so we can only
consider that the boiler and radiation
area are ample. When the boiler is
placed on a level with the greenhouse
floor, it is seldom possible to secure a
good circulation when the flow pipe is
carried on an incline. If it is possible
to carry the flow pipe overhead and
give it a slight fall, this might over-
come the difficulty. The higher the re-
turns, too, the better will be the cir-

boards will be used on the sides. Both
gable ends will be exposed to the
weather. The boiler pit will be at the
west end and will be about forty inches
deeper than the greenhouse floor. Hot
water will be used and I wish to main-
tain a temperature of 60 degrees in
zero weather. How much radiation
will be required? How large a flow and
how many 2-inch returns will be
needed? I wish to run the returns
under the side benches. How large an
expansion tank will be necessary and
how high above the boiler should the
tank be? M. W.
To heat the house described to 60
degrees, about 1,000 square feet of
radiation should be used, and this will
make it desirable to put in three 2%-
inch flow pipes. One of these can be
about two feet below the ridge and one
of the others on each of the plates.
In addition to the flow pipes, about
thirteen 2-inch returns will be needed,
of which three can be on each wall
and the others should be distributed
under the benches.
It is generally best to have the flow
pipes carried with a slight drop toward
the farther end of the house, and the
returns should, of course, be given a
fall toward the heater, but all of the
pipes should be kept as high as pos-
sible. The expansion tank should hold
about ten gallons of water and may be
anywhere from two to ten feet above
the highest part of the flow pipe.

DETBOIT.
The Market.
In the first part of last week business
was not brisk, but it livened up as the
week drew to a close and ended with a
good total.
Stock of every description is good and
moving nicely. Carnations are exception-
ally fine. Sweet peas are also fine and
are 'being used in large quantities for
wear. White carnations are in good de-
mand for St. Patrick's day.
Various Notes.
Robert Miesel joined the benedicts last
week.
At the meeting of the club, March 20,
Ferdinand Kolbe will address the mem-
bers on "Carnation Growing."
E. A, Fetters has placed an order for
an Oliver auto delivery car. It is to
have a specially designed body, suitable
for florists' use, and promises to be some-
thing fine.
Ed Beard put on more help last week.
This time it is a baby boy.
W. B. Brown is kept pretty busy at-
tending to the chickens on his farm at
Birmingham and looking after the store.
He recently purchased a touring car, to
reduce the distance between store and
farm. H. S.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
The Market.
Trade continues good and flowers are
plentiful. Koses are in good supply and
bulbous stock is low in price. Freesias
are about done, but alyssum is in good
crop and is useful for funeral work,
which has been good. Plant trade is
booming; in fact, no fault can be found
with the market at present. Violets are
in good demand.
The weather is quite mild and retail
.prices range about as follows: Carna-
tions, 60 to 75 cents per dozen; roses,
$1.50; tulips, daffodils and Paper
Whites, 50 cents; double Murillo tulips,
75 cents; snapdragons, $1; mignonette,
60 cents; violets, $1 per hundred, and
sweet peas from $1 to $1.50 for the same
quantity.
Various Notes.
Chas. F. Lawton, city forester, deliv-
ered an interesting address on various
tree pests before the Horticultural So-
ciety last week.
The street fakers were out again last
Saturday selling flowers at cheap prices.
Wm. P. Peirce, E, H. Chamberlain,
Wm. H. Davenport and E. E. Nofftz had

The Market.
Business has not up to this time been
so badly afifected by Lent as was antici-
pated. With favorable weather both
day and night, stock is increasing in sup-
ply from day to day and is of good qual-
ity. Bulbous stock is quite plentiful,
but is still holding its own. Good car-
nations find ready sale.
Various Notes.
There was not a more pleased bunch
on Sunday, March 12, than the five-man
team of the Florists' Bowling League,
for in the return match with the Odahnas
they beat them in three games straight.
We hope this will not make them over-
confident, in view of the match game
with the Chicago boys, March 19.
The Currie Bros. Co. has been exceed-
ingly busy of late, forgetting all about
the much dreaded lull expected about
this time.
To receive a large American Beauty
order and then not be able to fill it,
was .the experience of J. M. Fox & Son
on Monday of this week.
The M. A. McKenney Co. reports a
steady demand for pot plants of late.
The firm 's show window, which contained
good specimens of rambler roses, aza-
leas, genistas, etc., no doubt helped to in-
crease sales in that line.
The Holton & Hunkel Co. is well satis-
fied with last week's business. Advance
orders for white carnations for St. Pat-
rick's day are numerous.
The C. C. Pollworth Co. has a heavier
call for green carnations than ever be-
fore. Though in previous years the trade
called for white carnations for St. Pat-
rick's day, they now order them ready
for sale.
Nic Zweifel and C. C. Pollworth have
expressed their intention of attending the
National Flower Show at Boston.
Mrs. H. V. Hunkel left in the first
part of last week for St. Louis, to attend
the wedding of her brother, Wm. C.
Smith. Mr. Smith is well known to the
local craft, having been in the employ of
his uncle, Wm. Edlefsen, some ten years
ago.
Spring openings of department stores
are the order of the day, helping to
break the monotony of some of the retail
florists.

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger

absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. " This construction also gives a more

The Market.
Lent has jmt a quietus on business to
some extent, although trade had not been
any too rushing for a fortnight previ-
ously. Weather conditions have been
partly the cause, as we are having some
regular May days, which may help the
<;oal pile some, but have put a crimp in
the selling end. However, taking things
on the whole, business is as good as at
this time last year, and "then some."
Stock of all kinds is in good supply,
and is increasing in variety daily. Home-
grown violets are coming and prices have
taken a tumble; they are retailing at
$1 per hundred. Sweet peas are also com-
ing in and are selling at the same price.
Bulbous stock is coming in fast, and is
selling fairly well. Good roses are not
any too plentiful and the best stock sells
readily.
Carnations are more plentiful than at
any time this season, several growers hav-
ing good crops on. The prices are hold-
ing up well, $1 per dozen being the reg-
ular price. Forget-me-nots, daisies, free-
sias and valley are in good supply. Or-
chids are in fair supply and sell as well
as anything else. In the way of potted

The Weekly Florists' Review*
Mabcr 16, 1911.
BUFFALO.
The Market.
Lent has at last had a telling effect
on business, but not to such an extent as
to cause any considerable decline in the
market. Stock piled up somewhat, but
by Saturday, March 11, was nearly all
cleaned up, carnations and bulb stock be-
ing the leaders. Considerable funeral
work has kept white stock moving. Vio-
lets are becoming smaller and have
touched bottom prices. Beauties and Rich-
mond are about equal to the demand.
Lilies are plentiful and show a steady in-
crease right along.
Plants are more in evidence every day
and will increase steadily until Easter.
Stock for Easter is in fine shape at most
places, but is not in as great variety as
is usually grown. The weather has been
warm for early March and, on account of
the bright sun, shading will be necessary
to hold azaleas this year, as the buds
swell rapidly at this season. A repetition
of last year's weather would be a heavy
blow to everyone.
Various Notes.
John Febelcorn, who has been in the
employ of S. A. Anderson since boyhood,
has embarked in business under his own
name. His store is located on Broadway,
and as he is a hustler he should make a
go of it.
The one grand event of the Florists'
Club was celebrated March 7, when the
annual banquet was held at the Hofbrau
in connection with the regular meeting,
which included the election of oflScers
for the ensuing year. The crowd was a
surprise to everybody, the number being
seventy-four. This was gratifying and
in addition was the assurance of a lively
time. The program was splendidly ar-
ranged by the committee in charge and
the events moved along like clockwork.
William Kasting was toastmaster and
ably led the happy throng. Following
the dinner, a picture machine was in-
stalled and character pictures, drawn and
arranged by Mr. Gillia, were thrown on
the screen. This brought out rounds of
applause from the members. For four
hours the fun lasted and without a doubt
it was the most enjoyable affair ever
given by the Florists' Club. The election
resulted as follows: George McClure,
president; Joe Sangster, vice-president;
Jerome Deuscher, financial secretary;
William Legg, recording secretary; Chas.
Sandiford, treasurer.
A number of florists, not content with
the celebration of the banquet, went to
Rochester, March 8, in acceptance of the
invitation from the Rochester Club for a
return bowling match. About fifteen
members were in the party. They were
heartily received and served to a fine
spread, after which all adjourned to the
alleys. Two weeks previously the Buffalo
boys trimmed Rochester for three games
at Buffalo and they repeated the victory
this trip in spite of the large scores of
the Rochester boys. Neubeck, of Buf-
falo, was high, with an average of J 88
for the three games. R. A. S.
aiDWELL TANKS and TOWERS
are of the
Hisrheflt Quality of Constmction,
f)roaucing the greatest durability, longrest
ife and best service. Give florists at tmall
expense same water service as in cities.

A Parallel Proposition
A house 200 feet long on private grounds looks too commercial,
but two 100-foot houses built parallel fashion like these, and you
have an attractive, compact proposition. However, it is just as
you say— "the way a house is planned depends pretty much on
where it is to be located," and for what it is to be used.
Now that you mention the question of locations, we want you
to have our catalogue— and see some of the different stunts we
have accomplished in locating. Many of them were tough nuts to
crack and the catalogue tells how we cracked them. Want the
catalogue?

THE RETAIL
FLORIST
SOME SIMPLE COLOR LAWS.
The Colors of the Spectrum.
If neither the growing nor the whole-
sale branch of the business seems to
attract the beginner as the retail and
decorative department does; if, more-
over, he has passed the few simple
tests of ability in designing and color,
as presented in my last article, he may
now profit by a system of color study
planned somewhat in the following
condensed form:
White sunlight, as seen in a rainbow
or spectrum, contains these colors:
Violet, red, orange, yellow, green and
blue. They are so blended by inter-
mediate tints and shades as to be
rather difficult to distinguish, but we
can indicate them to ourselves by a
straight line on which the names repre-
sent the colors in the spectrum ray.
Divide the line into six equal parts,
placing the names, in the order already
given, in the proper places on the line.
Now we will play that we are bring-
ing the two ends of the line together,
forming a circle. The sections which
the colors occupy will be extended to
the center, and the colors will follow
in this order, violet, red, orange, yel-
low, green and blue, from left to right.
By selecting any two opposite colors
you may combine them correctly, as
violet and yellow, red and green, orange
and blue. Those which follow each
other are the least harmonious com-
binations. Yellow and blue, when
mixed in paints, form green. Red and
yellow make orange. Blue and red
produce violet.
Primary or Unmixed Colors.
Yellow, red and blue can not be pro-
duced from combining other colors,
and they are called by color manufac-
turers the primary colors. Other au-
thorities place the number of primary
colors anywhere between these three
and the six colors of the spectrum.
But a settlement of this question is not
essential to our . department of color
work, for we seldom have to do
with pure colors. By pure colors are
meant unmixed colors. There are no
flowers of one pure, normal color. One
which approaches a pure red is the
Roosevelt carnation, and for purposes
of comparison it will serve as a type.
The single California violet will serve
as an example of the violet color; an
orange may be instanced as orange
colored, a lemon as yellow, grass as
green, and Lobelia compacta as blue.
If it were only a question of even
as nearly pure color combinations as
might be possible with the foregoing
examples, the work of color combina-
tion might be easily acquired. But
when we consider that all these color
types, which at first glance appear to
be pure, are iij. fact mixed with two or
more colors, the question becomes ex-
tremely complex. No rule or set of
rules could cover every case or possible
combination.
A Guiding Principle.
When we consider tliat red mixed
with yellow becomes scarlet, as seen
in Beacon and America carnations, and
that red diluted with white becomes
pink, as found in Enchantress carna-
tions, it is easily understood that the
one type of green which is the color
opposite to red in our color circle will
not combine with all of the reds, but
that the green, being capable of as
many variations as the red, will fur-
nish some one correct tone for every
variation from the normal type of red.
The selection of just this correct tone
of green for any given tone of red
depends iipon your native color sense,
which can be aided, but not entirely
supplanted, by a principle which we
are now ready to formulate, namely:
A combination of colors must be based
sense comes to the rescue, and, if of
considerable strength, is practically in-
fallible. Color affinities, however ob-
scure are true to one another, and what
your eye chooses as harmonious may
afterward, by patient examination, be
found true to accepted formulas.
These hints on color laws will be
continued in another issue of The Re-
view. Gertrude Blair.
A BRIDGE IN FLOWERS.
Retail florists may be divided, rough-
ly, into two classes: one class includes
those who seek to lead their customers
away from the unique or bizarre in
funeral flowers, and the other class
embraces those who welcome with wide
open arms the man, or committee, with
the order for the unusual — the un-
usual usually means a little extra
money for the florist. Kansas City re-
cently has produced an unusual num-
ber of these orders for special designs.
The Alpha Floral Co. thinks that every-
thing that conies to the mill is grist
and that these orders are exceptionally
well worth grinding, for they run into
larger money than can be had for
wreaths or sprays, however fine. There
is this to be said for the big and un-
usual pieces: usually they are oidered
as the result of a dead man's fi lends
or associates taking up a collection;
when a committee has from $jU up-
ward to spend for a design, something

on a strain common to both colors
which are parties to the combination.
Thus, a Prince Camille de Rohan rose
will coihbine most happily with a Sun-
set rose, on account of the red strain
so dominantly present in the Rohan
and noticeably evident in the Sunset.
This is a simple example of the princi-
ple, but it would take no wide search
to find two different flowers whose
subtle and delicate strains of color
harmony could be traced in several dif-
ferent lines. And we might add that
the more complex these lines of har-
mony are, the more delightful is the
result. Her^ is where the native color
showy is required; it will not suffice
to put the money into orchids in a
wreath, for the display is not apparent
to those who do not know the value of
flowers. In such a case a big piece is
i;ece?sary, whether or not it may have
try artistic qualities. When a com-
mittee has more money to spend than
really is necessary for the purpose, the
result is almost always an order to
make something in a way to typify the
occupation of the deceased. An Illi-
nois florist not long ago was required
to make for a glass-blower a bottle in
white carnations, the piece standing
more than six feet high. In the same

the price of the design, said to have
been $2o(l. is the best thing about it,
they also will concur in the opinion

that the florist met an unusual require-
ment in a (•ai>Hble way.
MR. VALENTINE'S NEW STORE.
Tho now store of the Park Floral C;o..
at 1643 Brodway, Denver, is finished, and
it is so tlioroiifihly up-to-date an<l con-
venient tli-U a description will not be out
of place.
At tlio time the lease was made the
building liad not been erected and Mr.
Valentine, president of the concern, fur-
nished the plans for his portion of the
building, so that it is built in accordance
with his ideas of convenience with refer-
cred with gray friar's cloth, divided into
panels. The woodwork is Oregon fir, fin-
ished to show the natural grain. A man-
tel in dull finislied tile is at one end of
the room, and in the other a long mirror.
Copper lanterns from the ceiling and
wall supply light for the store, and in the
show windows are Tungsten lamps with
liolophane sliades. A solid rubber carpet
of dark green witli a white border, and
liarmonizing beautifully with the otlicr
furnishings, was made to order at a cost
of nearly $1,000. In place of counters,
hardwood tables are used, finished to
match the woodwork.
A wide stairway from tlie center of the
salesroom leads up to a large conservatory
with cement floor. The ceiling in the
workroom below the conservatory has a
height of only ten feet, making an easy
climb to the floor above. Under the
stairway is a small room for the cashier
and operator of the private branch tele-
phone exchange.
At the south end of the salesroom and
adjoining it is the wrapping room. Di-
rectly back of that is the stock room for
supplies, and still farther back is the
wagon room with cement floor, which con-
nects with the alley and also with the
freight elevator, which runs to the conser-
vatory and to the basement.
An artificial ice plant with two large
cooling rooms is in the basement. Spa-
cious lockers for the employees are also
located here. At the front end of the
basement, which ia well lighted from the
street, are the kitchen and dining room,
both being completely equipped with all
conveniences. An electric exhaust fan
carries away all odors and insures plenty
of fresh air. In the dining room are set-
tees that can be readily converted into
couches with mattresses. These will be
used at rush times, like Christmas and
Easter, when the clerks have been work-
ing most of the night and there is an op-
portunity to rest a few hours. The din-
ing room is used only at rush times, and
at such times good meals are served to
employees without charge.
The offices are on the second floor, and
the numerous windows make them light
and cheerful. The office equipment is up-
to-date and modern, and includes vertical
files, billing and adding machines, rotary
neostvle, dictaphone and addfeesogriiph.

ONE WAY.
And Several Better Ways.
It happened on a Saturday afternoon.
A mechanic, his week's work done, was
walking home. The street was one on
which there are scores of small stores,
pawnshops, saloons, tobacco shops and
cheap hotels. Mr, Comeinski, proprietor
of the Cutprice Suit Co., stopped Mr.
Mechanic for a friendly chat, induced
him to step into the store, and sold him
a suit — coat, vest and pants, with a
pair of suspenders thrown in.

TBOUBLE WITH QIGANTEUMS.
I am sending you a few leaves of Lil-
ium giganteum. They seem to be turn-
ing brown on tlie ends. 1 have had a
night temperature of 55 degrees and 65
degrees in the daytime. They are other-
wise strong and healthy. 1 have been
keeping them on the dry side. Can you
tell me what tlie trouble is and the cause
of it? J. K.
View in the New Store of the Park Floral Co.
This was one way of combining ad-
vertising and salesmanship, not a meth-
od many florists care to use, but one
that appeals to a certain class of people
who carry money by the door. Inducing
the man to come into the store was ad-
vertising; closing the trade was good
salesmanship. Perhaps the first would
have been sufficient to have made the
sale; once in the store, the visitor may
buy without the exercise of salesman-
ship, but the sale never would have
been made had not Mr. Comeinski ad-
vertised in "One Way." Advertising
and salesmanship go together, but sales-
manship has little chance where there is
no advertising.
"It pays to advertise!" It certainly
does, and what is more, if you have
something to sell, you must advertise.
The more you advertise, the more you
sell.
Ways for the Florist.
This coming Easter, if you have a fine
stock of lilies, azaleas, bulbous stock
or cut flowers, tell the flower buyers
about it. Stop them for a moment at
your printed word, induce them to come
into your place of business and, if your
goods are up to the standard, they will
buy.
Advertising, to many florists, sug-
gests only large sums spent with news-
papers. There are ways, too numerous
to mention, of advertising aside from
the use of public prints. First of all,
look to your store printed matter. Is
it neat and attractive? Is your name
on all your boxes, tags, etc.? Every
article sent out from the store should
carry a tag, even though there be a
dozen pieces going to one funeral house.
A clean delivery wagon in charge of a
neat, if not uniformed, young man ad-
vertises you by commanding respect.
Possibly the best advertising medium
you can have is the show window.
Keep it so arranged or trimmed that it
will stop the flower lover on his way
and compel him to come into your store
— then your plants or flowers, plus a
little salesmanship, will cause him to
open his purse-strings. If he buys a
dollar box of flowers, see that it is
neatly done up and bears your name;
this may lead to some other sales later
on.
Some say a florist can not afford to
spend a large sum for publicity. It is
not necessary. A small sum, spent in
the right way, will do much good work.
If I had headed this article with the
word "Advertising," would you have
stopped to read it? Perhaps, and per-
haps not. At least, I might have used
a dozen words instead of two, with no
more effect.
Just how much a florist should spend
for advertising depends on his circum-
stances. The old, established firm need
not spend so much in proportion as the
younger concern. Appropriate for ad-
vertising a certain small percentage of
your year's business. Map out a cam-
paign, and stick to it, and you will be
surprised and pleased with the results.
From two to three per cent is a good
figure, once you are established, basing
it on your ju-eceding year's business.
Of course boxes, tags and stationery
would not come directly under the head-
ing of advertising; they merely help a
good carso. Hugo Schrocter.
The foliage is evidently (jiiite brown
ou the ends, as you state, and plants witli
such leaves would be hard to sell. I ani
inclined to think that the trouble may not
be wholly a disease, but has been caused
by their treatment. Giganteum lilies like
to be grown warm at all stages of their
ij[rowth. Even after being potted, it is
a mistake to place them in a tempera-
ture a little above freezing to start in;
•10 degrees at night is far better. Once
the tops have appeared and the pots are
nicely filled witli roots, the plants like
02 to 65 degrees at night, with a 10-de-
gree rise in tlie daytime. They Avill revel
in such a temperature and the percent-
age of sickly plants will be much less
than if grown cooler.
You have made a mistake in keeping
your jdants on the dry side. This treat-
ment is all right after potting, but once
the ])ots are full of roots, watering can
be done freely and the pots should never
really approach dryness; otherwise the
lower leaves will turn yellow and brown-
ing of the ends is also likely. Heavy
fumigation will brown the foliage like
yours. Hydrocyanic acid gas should
never be used among them, nor should
any of the strong nicotine extracts, which
are commonly vaporized. I would advise
more heat — if possible 10 degrees higher
— and more moisture at the root. Also
spray the jdants twice a day. C. W.

ducted by George I. Haight and will

NEW ROSES WORTH GROWING.
I Extracts frmii a paper li.v S. W. Crowell, of
Roseaci'es. Miss., read at the coiivfiitioii of tho
'it'uness<'« Nuiscijincu's Association in Nasliville.
Temi., continued from Tlie Ucview of .Marcli l(i.]
F. Voii Maischall is a bright red. A
free, constant blooinci'. Buds and open
liowers are ocjnally well formed. A first-
class rose.
Harry Kirk is deep sulphur yellow,
passing into a lighter sliiide as the
flower opens. J.,arge, full, perfect form,
constant and of good substance.
Helen fJood is a sport from Manian
Cochet. I'retty well known, but the
rose, like this type, should be planted
in every garden. 1 may be partial to
this variety, owing to the fact that it
originated on my grounds at Alpika,
Miss., and thence was sent out by the
Good & Reese Co.. of Springfield, O. Yet,
in every respect it is as good as Maman
Cochet or White Cochet, with the same
vigor and freedom of bloom, and in
color no rose, to my knowledge, is equal
to it. The color is a delicate yellow,
suffused with ]»ink, each ]>etal edged
deeper.
Mayflower is creamy white, with the
edge of petals laced lavender pink.
Buds are long and pointed. Of splendid
vigor and constitution.
An Ideal White Bedder.
Molly Sharn)an Crawford is a white
bedder that will stand in the front rank
of good garden roses when well known.
The color is pure and chaste; flowers of
good substance and form; vigorous
branching habit. An ideal rose.
Mrs. Dudley Cross is apparently an
improved Marie Van Houtte. Buds ex-
tremely large, well pointed, opening
into a mammoth l)loom that stands the
sun well. A vigorous grower and con-
stant.
Mme. Edward Vicars is bright car
mine, shaded rose. A promising va-
riety.
Mrs. B. R. Cant is not a novelty, but
the trade has the habit of overlooking
good things every now and then. One
of the best garden roses extant. Color,
dark carmine, flushed crimson; free and
constant; a rank grower and about the
best of its color.
Paula is a vigorous, free flowering
variety, of erect habit. Color, sulphur
yellow, with deeper center. Of quite
recent introduction, but it promises
well.
W. R. Smith, like Helen Good, is ot
such exceptional merit that it may be
well to include it in this list, as many
nurserymen are not acquainted with it.
It is so much like the Cochet roses that
one would class it as a true Cochet in
growth, vigor, freedom and formation
of flower. It ranks with the Cochets
and Helen Good, and this is the greatest
j)raise that any garden rose can receive.
In color it is rose-pink, salmon-pink
shaded with flesh and various light
tints, which make a combination diffi-
cult to describe.
Other Classes of Roses.
To this list might be added many teas
and hybrid teas that are now being
disseminated, but I am sure that herein
are enough to appeal to those who de-
sire to try out a portion, at least, of
those that appear to be the most com-
mendable. I have omitted the hybrid
perpetual section, hardy types and vari-
ous other novelties. Frau Karl Druschki
you all know. J. B. Clark and Hugh
Dickson are two splendid varieties in
this class, and beyond these three va-
rieties I do not care to go. In the
Baby Rambler type. Baby Dorothy is a
good pink, Catherine Zeimot a most ex-
cellent white, and many others are
being sent out which must have further
trials before being classed as commer-
cial varieties.
Just now the hybridizer seems to give
his labor to the production of hybrid
teas, and so long as they give us such
wonderful varieties as appear from year
to year, we cun well dispense with less
desirable types, for a time at least.
However, there are other desirable sec-
tions, suited for a wider range of ter-
ritory, especially the colder climates of
our country, yet suitable for various
plantings throughout the south. I have
reference to the hybrid rugosas and
hybrid Wichuraianas. These two sec-
tions, with the hybrid teas, will within
the next decade be our upper class in
the rose family.
I was requested to embody within
this paper something about the growing
and selling end of roses. To do this, I
am sure, would take up too much time.
Besides, this topic should have its full
quota of time in order to cover all the
essential points. However, it should
be known that to secure best results in
the propagation of plants, and particu-
larly the rose, the work should be done
in a natural way and under natural con-
ditions. All plant life requires a period
of rest and repose for good results. I
have tested roses that were summer-
propagated and allowed to rest over
winter in cold houses, alongside of the
same varieties that had been grown
under high temperatures from forced
stock, both winter and summer, and I
am sure the difference in growth and
vitality of the plants by these two
methods could be perceived by the most
ignorant amateur. Overwork, overstim-
ulation, overfeeding, everlastingly at it,
can not make a strong, vigorous garden
rose. A plant of this kind, when re-
moved to the garden, usually sickens
and dies, and should it survive the sum-
mer, a rest well taken, it begins its
growth in late fall, only to be nipped
by the first chilling frost from the
north.
GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
1 have about 2,500 geranium jdants
that are from eight to twelve inches
high and 1 am afraid they will get too
big for the market by Memorial day.
They are blooming now quite freely and
there is not a good market here for
geraniums until Memorial day. What
is the best thing for me to do with
these plants f If I were to take top cut-
tings from them, would the cuttings
bloom for Memorial day? Would the
old plants be in good condition for this
day. or is there some way in which I can
check their growth, without injuring
the plants? Would i^ be the best plan
to take cuttings from them now? I do
not like to lose them, but they are
growing too fast. J. H. N.
It is getting somewhat late to top
your geraniums, but not entirely too
late. I would advise you to take the
tops out of the tallest and strongest
plants and insert them singly in 2-inch
pots of sandy loam. These will be
rooted in a month, and in six weeks will
want a shift into 3-inch pots. They
will carry a truss of flowers each and.
while somewhat small and late, will
probably sell. The best geraniums for
Memorial sales are grown in 4-inch pots.
I do not know what size yours are in,
or in what temperature they have been.
A night minimum of 45 to 50 degrees is
ample. Young stock rooting and after
potting can have 5 to 10 degrees more.
They should be spread out, so that they
cannot become drawn and leggy. Give
all possible sun and lots of fresh air.
Starving your plants would not be
any remedy. Keep all flower trusses
picked off until the first week in May.
Avoid feeding with liquid manure and
dft not use any strong animal manure in
the compost. Bone promotes firm
growth and floriferousness; liquid stim-
ulants cause a soft growth. Give a
small shift to any of your plants really
needing it, and any which you do not
wish to move to larger pots can be'kept
in good shape by an occasional top-
dressing of Clay 's fertilizer or a weak
watering with nitrate of soda. Do not

keep your plants constantly wet at the
root. Geraniums are not aquatics, but
some growers treat them as though they
were. Allow a thorough drying out be-
tween ^vaterings and keep dead leaves,
weeds, etc., carefully removed. C. W. •>
TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS.
I have been having trouble with my
geraniums and enclose a fair sample of
my plants. The disease is spreading all
over my stock. Will you please tell me
what is wrong and wliat to do to stop it?
F. A. K.
The foliage of the specimens received
was quite badly attacked with bacteria.
Without knowing something of cultural
and other conditions, it is difficult to
suggest even what the cause of the trou-
ble may be. I Avould advise you to throw
away the worst affected plants. Pick the
worst foliage from any others. Do not
allow them to stand crowded. Do not
keep them constantly wet at the root and
do not grow them too warm. Avoid using
any animal manure in the potting soil,
unless it is old and decayed. This causes
a too rank and soft growth, which is an
easy mark for bacterial diseases. Give
the plants the fullest possible sunshine,
an abundance of fresh air and a night
temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. Do not
exceed the latter figure, unless it may be
on warm nights. When watering, soak
the pots well and always allow them to
dry out quite well between the water-
ings. Do not syringe the plants over-
head. This will also tend to make the
foliage soft. C. W.
HOTBEDS WITHOUT MANURE.
The inquiry of K. L. K., who asked
in a recent issue of The Review with
regard to oil burners, leads me to send
you the enclosed photograph, with some
description of my apparatus. How many
have been confronted with the necessity
of making hotbeds without manure?
AVhere I am located it is next to im-
possible to get together enough manure
dilutable for hotbed purposes. Last year,
while planning my spring work, I was
confronted by the same old difficulty in
aggravated form. As a solution, it oc-
curred to me that I might rig up a
plant similar to those used in heating
railroad coaches. I therefore bought an
upright boiler, 18x36 inches, containing
twenty 2Vo-inch flues. The picture shows
the boiler in position at the end of a
hotbed 6x50 feet. You will note I have
marked the expansion tank, which I
rigged up on a tripod, and also the
valve for steam escape. The flow pipe
■drops six inches in the fifty feet and
then there are four 1-inch returns level
to the boiler. In twenty minutes from
firing the entire system is hot, and I
have performed the feat of making hot-
beds without manure. The hotbeds last
year gave me the best success I ever
have had in a long and successful ex-
^lerience in the trade. There were only
two difficulties. One of these was the
necessity for firing and the other was
that the ashes, smoke and soot fell on
"the glass and sifted into the hotbed
whenever I attempted to ventilate. As
a result, and this brings me to the in-
quiry of K. L. K., I decided to find an
oil burner and got in touch with C. Y.
Koop, 613 West Fifth street, Kansas
€ity, whose name was given me as the
manufacturer of oil burners for every
purpose. I purchased a burner for the
boiler and, while I have not yet given
jt a test that is conclusive, I think I

have found the solution of the only
trouble in heating a hotbed without
manure. W. L. Leeka.
THE HORTICULTURAL GRADUATE.
I noted the letter of F. Williams on
page 10 of The Review of March 2,
under the title of "The Beginner," and
I certainly do not accept all that he
says without certain reservations. I do,
however, agree with him regarding the
general impression among people who
are not fully informed, that the voca-
tion of a florist is the direct road to
wealth.
I believe the commercial flower busi-
ness would compare favorably, in regard
to its opportunities for the inexperi-
enced, with any other business. Take the
grocery business, for instance, and you
would find thousands entering it every
day without previous training. I be-
lieve the average, fairly intelligent man
would be as liable to succeed in one
business as he would in another, provid-
ing all things were equal.
To my mind, the principal reason for
so many failures is lack of capital with
which to operate. A man must use much
perseverance and sweet oil, plus the
necessary capital, to succeed. Under
any circumstances, a certain inherent
business ability is necessary to success.
There are many successful growers to-
day who do not have the ability to con-
duct a business on their own account;
and there are successful business men
who could certainly succeed in oper-
ating a flower establishment without
any previous experience whatever.
Mr. Williams seems to think lightly
of the private gardener at "colleges
presided over by learned professors,"
and he believes that the horticultural
schools which do not give special at-
tention to the teaching of commercial
growing "only tend to increase the
number of incompetents." It seems to
me that the graduate of such a school
is in a far better position to begin the
practical cultivation of florists' crops
than he who has spent only four years
in the ordinary commercial establish-
ment. The theorist can readily adapt
himself to most conditions. He knows
the principles of plant culture; his
knowledge is so general that he can
enter into almost any phase of the busi-
ness; he can work at the branch he
likes best. An intelligent man can read-
ily acquaint himself with the "small
details," and, though some few would
balk at the hard work and drudgery,
most men would knuckle down and take
the pepper with the salt.
The private gardener at a college
which boasts of a plant house and a
campus of any size is obliged to have
a far more extensive and general knowl-
edge of the plant world than the florist

To this list niijilif lie added niaiiv tt'as

are enough 1o appeal to those who de-
sire to try out a portion, at least, of
those that ;ip|icar to be th(> most coni-
iiiendable. I have omitted the hybrid

ous other novelties. Fran Karl Drusrdiki

.lust now the li\bridi/.er seems to <iive
his hibor to the production of hybrid
teas, and so long as they give its such
wonderful varieties as appear from year
to year, wo can well dispense with less
desirable types, for a time at least.
However, there arc other desirable sec-
tions, suited for a wider range of ter-
ritory, esjiecially the colder climates of
our country, yet suitable for various
jilantings throughout the south. I have
reference to the hybrid rugosas and
liy])ri(l Wichuraiainis. These two sec-
tions, with the hyltrid teas, will within
the jnwf decade be our upper class in
the rose family.
T Avas requested to end)ody within
this jiaper something about the growing
and selling end of roses. To do this, L
am sure, would take up too nuich time.
Besides, this topic should have its full
quota of time in order to cover all the
essential points. However, it should
be known that to secure best results in
the jiropagation of plants, and particu-
larly the rose, the work should he done
in a natural A\ay and under natural con-
ditions. All I'lant life recpiires a period
of rest and repose for good results. I
have test(>d roses that were summer-
jiropagafed and allowed to rest over
winter in cold houses, alongside of the
same v.arieties that had ))oen grown
nndei' high temperatures from for<-ed
sto(d\, both winter and suMimor, and I
am sure the difference in growth and
\itality of the plants by these two
iiH'thods could be perceived by the most
ignorant amateur. Overw(»rk, overstim-
ulation, overfeeding, everlastingly at it,
can not nuike a strong, vigorous garden
rose. A plant of this kiml, svhen re-
moved to the garden, usually sickens
and dies, ami should it survive the sum-
mer, a r(>st well taken, it begins its
growth in late fall, only to be nipjied
by the (irst chilling frost fi'om the
north.
GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
I haxc about l-'.-'i^o geranium i>laiits
that are from eight to fucdve imdu's
high .and I am afraiil they will get too
big for the market by .Memorial day.
They are idoomiiig now (piite freely ami
there is not a good market here I'or
geraniums until -Memorial day. What
is the best thing for me to ilo with
these plants.' If I were to take top cut-
tings from them, would the cuttings
bloom for .Memoriiil day.' Would the
old plants be in good condition for this
day. or is tlieic some way in whii-h I can
(die(d< their growth, without injuring
the pl.ants.' Would it be the best jdan
to take cuttings from them now.' I do
not like to lose them, but they are
gro\ving too fast. ■'. H. X.
It is getting somewhat late to to{)
your geraniums, but not entirely too
late. 1 would ail vise you to take the
tops out of the tallest and strongest
plants and insert them singly in 2 inch
pots of sandy loam. These will be
rooted in a month, iind in six weidxs will
want a shift into oinch pots. They
will carry a truss of flowers each and.
while somewhat small and late, will
|)robably sell. The best geraniums for
Memorial sales are grown in 4-inch pots.
I do not know what size yours are in,
or in what temjierature they have been.
.\ night minimum of 4.1 to oO degrees is
ample, ^'oung stock rooting and after
potting c;in ha\e .") to 1(1 degrees more.
They should be spread out, so that they
cannot become drawn and leggy. Give
all jiossible sun and lots of fresh air.
Starving your plants would not be
any remedy. Keep all flower trusses
jdcked off until the first week in May.
Avoid feeding with liquid manure and
do not use any strong animal manure in
the compost. Bone promotes firm
growth and floriferousness; liquid stim-
ulants cause a soft growth. Give a
small shift to any of your plants really
needing it, and any which you do not
w ish to move to larger ])ots can be'kept
in good sliajie by an occasional toj)-
dressing of Clay's fertilizer or a weak
watering with nitriite of soda. Do not

AMERICAN SORTS IN ENGLAND.
How They Fared in 1910.
By force of habit, I annually report
to you how the carnation novelties fare
over here in England. But with so
large a contingent of carnation men
from over here visiting the great Bos-
ton show and seizing that occasion, un-
doubtedly, to tell you of your short-
comings, I prefer to write more in an
appreciative manner, and as one who
himself has raised for several years
.some ;j,000 seedlings annually with
great hopes and jone too much good
ifortune. I have learned with bitter
sorrow how difficult a thing it is to
raise a really fine carnation. However,
our own novelties in England are great-
ly improving and the time is not far
distant when you will search this tight
little island for new carnations.
We all agree that Scarlet Glow is
the best novelty sent over here this
last season. The shape of the flower
is popular, while its bright, pure shade
of color is what we all wanted. The
habit is good, with stem and calyx quite
up to the average.
Mrs. C. W. Ward is undoubtedly a
tine variety. Its strong calj'x, perfect
stem and free habit are a revelation
for our dull climate. The color has
too much blue in it for general taste,
but all progressive market growers will
have it as the best of the Lawson
shade.
Dorothy Gordon is exactly what we
were led to imagine it would be — an
improved Eose-pink Enchantress. How-
ever, it is a shade of color which has
never been popular with us, and no
one has plunged heavily on it.
Admiration is still suspended in the
balance. The color is perfection, but
the stem does not like our climate.
Some have a high opinion of this va-
riety and it may settle down to sonuv
thing good.
Alma Ward has proved more or less
a failure. The flowers are inclined to
come deformed in winter. It should,
however, do well from now onward and
may suit some of the private estab-
lishments.
Shasta received an award of merit
and has a certain vogue of popularity,
but, generally speaking, it is not quite
as free as we had expected, while the
build of the flower is not good as
judged by our standard. But we shall
all test it again.
Niagara also has its votaries, but to
displace our present standard whites is
no small undertaking. Some nice flow-
Alex. Newett Likes Missouri.
ers of Niagara have been shown and it
cannot yet be counted as a failure.
Sangamo has proved a disappoint-
ment. The flowers are thin and small,
its only redeeming feature being its
free habit of growth. We must have
better quality.
Conquest is quite the best of the-
many recent novelties of the old Pros- •
perity scheme of coloring; in fact, it is
a Prosperity-colored Lawson. Good
fancy varieties always have a market
with us.
Mary Tolman has failed. The flowers
come deformed or semi-double and the
growth is miserably slow. But it bit
the popular color and with a better
habit would have lived on.
J. W. Eiley has proved a great dis-
appointment; not that we expected a
yellow Enchantress, but we had great
hopes of something better than what
we already had. However, it bloom*
freely and may be a stepping stone
to better things.
On the whole, the crop of last sea-
son's novelties was above the average,
but if only some extensive test of car-
nation novelties could be held previous
to their dissemination, something simi-
lar to the rose tests held in France, it
would make those of sterling quality
worth more and those of inferior merit
worth less, and that is<what every fair-
minded man desires.

THE CARNATION.
[A paper by Wm. E. Tricker, of Madison.
X. J., read before the Morris County Gardeners''
iind Florists' Society, at Madison, March 11,
1011.]
The carnation today is one of the
most popular flowers in existence, a
serious rival even of the rose. It is
surprising when one considers its vari-
ous effects and the purposes it serves.
It is a flower that is practically within
the income of all classes. There is
hardly any purpose for which itv can-
not be used — the dinner table, wed-
dings, hospitals, presentations, and also-
when we come to "shuffle off this mor-
tal coil."
Many of us look upon the carnation
as a comparatively new arrival, a
flower that during the last two dec-
ades has run hard and gained prac-
tically the same recognition as the rose,
or even greater recognition. Many of
us are apt to forget that the carnation

has been in cultivation upward of 2,000
jears. Certainly the carnation, or gilly-
flower, as it was then termed, would
appear insignificant beside its progeny
of today. Our greatest poet, Shake-
speare, speaks of the carnation in one
of his poems as the "flower of the
season. ' "
Origin of the American Carnation.
We read, and also learn from our
one or two carnation pioneers, that
the American carnation originated
about sixty years ago on Long Island,
not gaining niucli headway until 1890,
when John McGowau introduced Lizzie
McGowan, followed in 1893 by Dor-
ner's William Scott.
One of our most successful origina-
tors is Peter Fisher, who introduced
Mrs. T. W. Lawson, which was sold
for $30,00U, and which was followed
by Encliantress, the only carnation
that has stood the test of time with
our growers, wholesalers and retailers
of the present day.
Twenty years or more ago, when Mc-
Gowan, Albertini, Scott and Keller
were grown, a 2-inch flower was con-
sidered the limit and many a grower
would puff out his chest if he espied
one just a shade larger. It is also quite
amusing when I think how in many
■cases we used to let three or even more
buds develop on one stem, picking each
bud short-stemmed and in many cases
just the calyx stuck on a toothpick.
We would send them to the begging
wholesalers and net more than we do
now for our best flowers.
Today we have varieties such as
Dorothy Gordon, the Enchantress fam-
ily, White Perfection, Mrs. Patten, C.
W. Ward, T. W. Lawson, Pink Delight
and Harlowarden. Some grow one or
two varieties well, while they fail on
others; therefore some recommend cer-
tain varieties, while others prefer other
sorts. Then, with this year's distribu-
tion we have White House, the prince
of whites, and Princess Charming, the
queen of pinks.
Some of the Latest Arrivals.
Kegarding Charming, the improved
Enchantress, we go so far as to say
that Enchantress here will meet its
Waterloo before many more months
have passed. It has not split under
various conditions of weather and cer-
tainly this past winter has been a true
test. We like it so well that we shall
plant all the stock we can. Both
Charming and White House are good
shippers and well worthy of the recom-
mendation they have received. These
varieties are certainly an improvement
on previous introductions. Of this
year's batch there are also Washing-
ton, the improved Lawson, and White
W^onder and Gloriosa.
While speaking here on novelties I
should just like to mention the new
variety called Wodenethe. It is going
to take all before it next year. Most
of you have heard of it. Now compare
Lizzie McGowan with this variety and
jou will form a clearer idea of the
strides in twenty years. It has been
claimed by authorities to be the great-
■est carnation in existence. Just think!
We have cut several flowers — I will
not say all of them — just a shade under
five inches across and three inches in
•depth, with a strong stem three to four
feet long. This variety was scored
ninety -three points by the committee
of the New York Florists' Club; so you
Carnation Pennsylvania Grown on Solid Beds.
may be assured of its value. I wish
you all could have seen it the day it
was judged.
Some Cultural Hints.
Now, talking about varieties, etc.,
is not growing them, and 1 prefer to
grow them rather than write or talk
about them, but you have asked me to
write these few notes and I could
scarcely refuse to do so, since I feel
somewhat indebted to you all. I will
begin, therefore, by stating to those
who have not had as extensive experi-
ence as a few of our worthy members
here, that it is np sinecure to grow the
carnation successfully.
While we do not profess to always
have a lot of first-class flowers at our
greenhouses, we certainly make a spe-
cialty of having the young stock in
a proper condition to ship to our cus-
tomers all over the world.
In these brief cultural notes it is
hardly possible to go into details. As
you all know, the cutting bench should
be filled with clean, close sand, so that
when the cuttings root they will have
plenty of sand to cling to. The old
idea of using gritty sand is mislead-
ing. Then they should be potted up in
2 14 -inch pots, in beds or benches, and
after being sufficiently established they
should be pinched back hard and
worked along in that condition until
July, when they are planted into the
bench. From then on is a most critical
time. A wet summer will invariably
cause a lot of stem-rot, which can be
much checked by blowing slaked lime
with a sulphur bellows in between the
plants. After planting they should be
kept sprayed three or four times a day
until properly established, keeping
plenty of ventilation on, but not allow-
ing a direct draft.
As regards supports, some people pre-
fer the round wire supports, which are
useful in- private places, but where one
has many to handle it is better to use
the long wires and thread them through
crossways with string.
Temperature and Moisture.
There has always been a difference
of opinion about the temperature in
which carnations should be grown. I
find that all white carnations will
stand more heat than colored ones. The
temperature should never on any occa-
sion be allowed to drop below 50 de-
grees at night and 60 degrees in the
daytime, and whites will take five per
cent more heat.
The benches should never be allowed
to dry out. When you permit this to
happen and then water them, it gives
too great an impetus to the plants,
thereby causing a considerable number
of splits. I do not believe any per-
son ever lived who can prevent splits.
It can be helped somewhat by watch-
ing the temperature closely, but one
cannot rule the weather and you will
always notice that when a period of
dull weather is followed by two or
three bright days, a large percentage
of flowers split.
As regards pests, red spider is about
the worst, but this cannot well- be
avoided in dull weather. One is afraid
to syringe on account of getting rust,
and if he does not syringe he will be
badly annoyed by spider. A good,
strong application of Aphine will erad-
icate red spider. Fumigation should be
resorted to in case of aphis. I find a
little tobacco powder and red pepper
the best. As regards rust, the Aphine
Mfg. Co. has a new solution that eradi-
cates rust. I am glad to say that we
are seldom troubled with the latter
two pests.
From the Shipper's Point of View.
I should just like to mention here,
from the shipper's point of view, how
hard it is to please everybody. A lot
of growers invariably buy the cuttings
out of the sand. They have them ex-
j)ressed to them, and perhaps, on ar-
rival, they lie around a few hours; then
they are potted and often placed in a
bright house, with no papers over them.
If people will buy rooted cuttings
they must expect a certain amount of
loss. One cannot guarantee, under the
best of conditions, that they will be all
right after their transfer to perhaps an
entirely different continent. Speaking
of this reminds me that we sent orders
of 3,000 carnations to W. W. Wells, in

England, and they were delayed ten
days in addition to the ordinary voy-
age, yet we received word that they
were in fine condition on arrival and
not one cutting was lost. We had the
same report from Germany. This is
encouraging, especially when it is con-
sidered that in some other cases, when
the cuttings have been shipped only
twenty miles or so, the consignee re-
ports that he has lost practically all of
them.
Potting Booted Cuttings.
My advice to those buying rooted
cuttings is to pot them up in moist
soil and place them in a north house
for a week. Afterward they can be
brought out in the sunshine and you
will find that your percentage of loss
is small.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I would say
that any question you wish to ask I
shall be pleased to answer. It is some-
what difficult for a commercial man to
prepare an essay without mixing his
business with it. I may state that our
carnations practically have the same
attention as our chrysanthemums, and
I consider we have started well in the
field of carnation novelties, with Wo-
denetlie as & beginner. It is certainly
going to take everything by storm.
I think you will excuse this remark,
but I am proud, after starting with
Lizzie McGowan, as I did, that I should
be connected with one of the best
whites of today, namely, Wodenethe.
THE PINK BOSTON MARKET.
In these days when so many growers
think nothing will do but the biggest
carnation, it is interesting to find one
who gets his best profit out of a me-
dium sized flower. Pennsylvania is de-
scribed as a pink Boston market. It
originated with P. M. De Witt, Bridge-
water, Pa., as a seedling of Boston mar-
ket and Harlowarden. Mr. De Witt has
been growing it for five years and
thinks more highly of it every season.
The accompanying illustration shows
one of his houses in which the variety
is planted in elevated solid beds. He
says it does fully as well so handled as
when grown on a bench and he expects
this house to give him a continuous
cut of high grade blooms for weeks
after the bench grown stock has run
out.

SEASONABLE
SUGGESTIONS
Show Pelargoniums.
Where show pelargoniums were not
pinched late the plants will already be
carrying flower trusses, and these should
be in nice flower for the middle of
April. Give them a sunny house, yet
one where a low night temperature of
45 degrees or so is maintained. Give the
plants an occasional fresh stand and do
not omit a weekly fumigation. Feed
liberally with liquid manure. An alter-
nate top-dressing of Clay's or some
other equally highly conce)itrated ferti-
lizer will also assist in making the wood
firm and cause the plants to flower
freely.
Potting Foliage Plants.
Spring is almost here and to the south
has already arrived. The blooming of
early bulbs, the songs of early birds and
the passing of ice and snow indicate that
the strenuous season is at hand. Any re-
potting of palms, ferns or foliage plants
of any description whatever should be
done now, as there will be so many jobs
crowding in a few days that if work like
this is not done now it will probably not
be done at all. Crotons, dracwnas, arau-
carias, ficus, araliss, marantas and many
other useful . folige plants, if intended
for pot culture throughout the summer,
will pay for a little overhauling now.
Rambler Roses.
The flower trusses on rambler roses
should now all be showing prominently
and if these show color by the end of
March they will be all right for Easter,
if grown in a night te.mperature of ^5
degrees. Do not resort to any hard
forcing, unless it is an absolute necessity.
It only means softer plants, which fall
an easy prey to mildew, and flowers of
.W=^.<<%.W^.<<^.W^.W^.<*^.^*^W%.<<%.<<^.^*^.'!*^.W^.<*^.'*^.'*^.'*^->'
a paler color than those grown cooler.
Now is the time to feed the plants well
v.ith liquid manure twice a VA-eek. Dis-
continue it, however, when the flowers
are opening, as if continued it will take
away some of their cblor. The old Crim-
son Rambler it will be found opens some-
what earlier than the pink varieties. As
an Easter plant its sale has heavily de-
creased since the advent of the pink va-
rieties. Of the latter Tausendschon prom-
ises to be in heavy demand the coming
Easter, while Dorothy Perkins is being
grown by almost everyone. Those who
have 'the white Dorothy will also find it
a great seller. Hiawatha, single scarlet,
is another popular sort, which, while a
true single, is charming and preferred by
nearly all lady purchasers to Crirrison
Kambler.
Calceolarias.
As the flower stems begin to run up on
the herbaceous calceolarias, it becomes
necessary to do a little staking. These
stakes should be light and are better if
painted green, as indeed are all stakes in
pot plants. Nothing disfigures a w«Jl
grown plant more than a number of heavy
brown, yellow or white stakes. As these
stakes can be purchased inexpensively,
their increased use is to be commended.
You can hardly grow the calceolarias too
cool; 40 degrees at night is quite high
enough, unless you are in a hurry for
them, and as they are much more at-
tacked by aphis in 10 degrees more her;t,
they will need closer attention. The
sun's rays are now getting strong and the
plants wdl be benefited by some shade.
As the pots are well filled with roots,
apply liquid cow or sheep menure once in
four or five days until the flowers are
opening. Calceolaria rugosa, the popular
bedding variety in Europe, will soon be
running up to flower. Like the herba-
ceous section, it likes to be grown cool.
This will be found a valuable plant for
Memorial day work, either to sell as a
pot plant or for cutting. It lasts splen-
didly and does not shake out or bruise
like the large flowered section. The va-
riety Golden Gem is the best of the type.
There is also a hybrid between this and
the herbaceous section, with much larger
golden yellow flowers, named C. Stewarti,
which is a fine variety for florists to grow.
Pansies and Myosotis.
Pansies and myosotis are valuable for
spring sales and sell specially well when
put up in small handle baskets, which
purchasers can conveniently carry home.
The demand for these commences as soon
as frost has left the ground and contin-
ues until Memorial day. If you grow a
few hundreds or thousands of these, you
have probably wintered them in cold-
frames and given them a light winter
mulch of leaves or hay. This should now
be removed and the plants Avell watered.
If kept moderately close for a few days,
they will start away to grow in good
shape and a month hence will be flower-
ing freely. If, however, an earlier batch
is needed, lift a quantity and plant them
closely in some spare bench in your violet
house. As single violets are now practi-
cally done, part of the bench or bed space
can be profitably utilized by pansies, myo-
sotis or double daisies, all three of which
are popular flowers.
Pansies Outdoors.
While it is time to remove tJie mulch
from pansies in coldframes, it is not safe
to take away the covering from thjsc in
the open. We often get a spell of hot
weather in March which tempts us lo do
foolish things, as these warm spells are
generally succeeded by a breath of Arctic
weather and the biting winds and hot
sun's rays raise havoc with the little
plants if prematurely uncovered. Always
make haste slowly in removing winter
mulch, not only from pansies, but jnany
other plants. It is best removed by de-
grees. Take a little away where it seems
thick, but leave enough to cover the plants
until well into April.
Pruning Hardy Climbers.
Such climbers as wistarias, Bignonia
radicans, Aristolochia Sipho, actinidias
and any of the ornamental grapevines,
such as Vitis Labrusca and V. Coigne-
tise, if not yet pruned should be attended
to at once. The popular Clematis pani-
culata should be cut back quite hard.
Even if headed to the ground, it will soon
cover all its allotted space. Except in
the warmer states, it is still a little early
to prune the climbing roses. They must
not be cut back hard. All they need is
to have the dead and weak wood removed,
and if the long, strong canes which start
from the ground can be bent down some-
what, they will flower more abundantly
than if tied up erect. The climbing hy-
drangea. Hydrangea scandens, does not
require any pruning, unless it be dead
wood, but speaking of hydrangeas re-
minds us that this is the time to head
back the shrubby varieties, paniculata
^randiflora and arborescens, quite hard.
Perennial Phlox.
If you want to increase your stock of
herbaceous phlox of any particular varie-
ties, lift a few clumps as soon as the
ground is open. Place them in a cool
greenhouse and they will soon yield an
abundant crop of cuttings, which, if in-
serted in the cutting bench in the same

New Carnation House of Dobbs & Son, Auburn, N.Y.
way as clirysanthemums, will root within
a month. If bench space for them in-
doors is limited, they will root in an ordi-
nary coldframe, only it Avill take them
a little longer. Keep them well watered
and shaded and few will fail to root.
These cuttings planted out in nursery
rows six to eight inches apart will pro-
duce splendid heads of flower in late
summer, much superior to those carried on
the older clumps, and these are what
nurserymen sell as "strong field-grown
plants" each fall. Phloxes are probably
the most valuable of all herbaceous flow-
ering perennials and every florist should
have a good bed of them.
Annual Climbers.
It is a mistake to sow annual climbers
too early under glass, for being in nearly
every case of rapid growth they become
too tall before the selling season arrives.
A few varieties which are popular can
now be started. These include Coboea
scandens and C. scandens alba, balloon
vine, cypress vine (Ipomoea Quamoclit),
moonflower (Ipomoea grandiflora alba),
Lophospermum scandens, canary creeper
(Tropsealum Canariense) and the various
thunbergias. The latter are not really
climbers, but are useful as trailers for
vases, piazza boxes, window boxes and
baskets. For the same purpose the
maurandias and Kenilworth ivy (Linaria
Cymbalaria) are also valuable. Start all
these seeds in a brisk, moist heat and pot
off singly as soon as they can be handled,
their growth being made so quickly that
they will spoil or become entangled if
neglected even a few days.
Spiraea Queen Alexandra.
Spiraea Queen Alexandra requires a
longer season of growth than the ordinary
white forcing varieties. It succeeds much
better when treated as a Memorial day
plant than when forced for Easter. For
Memorial day use it is now time to start
the plants. Hard forcing will not be
necessary, but to have them strong and
vigorous give them a house kept at 50
to 55 degrees at night. As soon as the
plants show color move them into a cooler
house, where the glass is well shaded, as
when exposed to bright sunshine the
beautiful peach-pink flowers fade out
almost white. For bouquet work this
spiraea is one of the finest things intro-
duced for many years and growers who
sent in batches of it in a cut state last
year easily realized $6 per hundred for
them. Buy some clumps at once if you
want to get something good and have not
yet grown it.
Azaleas.
It can be seen with tolerable certainty
now whether plants wanted for Easter
will be in season or not. If the plants
are each opening a few flowers when
April comes in, they will be all right. If
not, they will need some pushing. Give
late plants 65 degrees at night and spray
freely until you are sure they are going
to be on time. A few good Easter varie-
ties are Bernard Andre alba, Niobe, Ver-
vseneana, Professor Wolters, Apollo and
Empress of India. Dwarf plants of such
sorts as Indica alba and (Jharles Encke
are also salable. Plants in flower can be
held quite cold. Shade the glass well in
the house where the plants are in full
flower.
Gladioli.
The earliest batch of Gladiolus The
Bride and G. Peach Blossom will soon
be in flower and make a welcome addition
to the list of spring flowers. To keep up
a good succession, bring a few boxes into
heat every ten days. Do not force them
hard; 50 degrees at night is as warm as
they require. The batch wanted for
Memorial day, a time when there is a
practically unlimited demand for flowers
of this description, need not be housed
yet for a couple of weeks. Benches where
the large flowering varieties, such as
America, May and Shakespeare, are grow-
ing should be scratched over once a week
and when spikes appear water should be
given abundantly. Just as soon as the
ground can be worked outdoors an early
batch can be planted. The grounil shouki
be well ]nanured and the bulbs planted
six inches deep. From bulbs planted thus
early spikes can be cut through the month
of June. It is a mistake to merely cover
the bulbs. Deeper j)lanting prevents the
plants from being blown over during wet,
windy weather and the plants are much
finer, the roots being down in moist earth
before the sunnncr droughts arrive.
Primula Obconica.
Many of the later sown plants of Prim-
ula obconica are still in good condition
and there is certainly no flowering plant
which is more generally satisfactory us a
house plant than P. obconica. Its poison-
ous properties have prejudicial many
against it, but it is satisfactory neverthe-
less to see that it remains popular. Plants
in small pots, if massed together in 6-
iiich or Sinch i)ans, one color to a pan,
will sell much better than in the small
pots. They are one of the finest of all
plants in window boxes and if Avell wa-
tered will flower for months in even a
warm room, the only attention needed be-
ing the removal of dead flowers occasion-
ally.
BUSINESS BOOMING.
With all the talk that is going on of
the marvelous rate at which the green-
house business is growing in the west,
sight should not be lost of the fact that
the business also is growing in that part
of the country where florists already are
most numerous. The state of New York
has more florists than any other state
in the Union and The Review has more
subscribers in the state of New York
than in any of the forty-seven other
states. In such towns as Auburn, in
central New York, greenhouse building
is proceeding at a rate that seems to
increase each year. The accompanying
illustrations show the exterior of the old
plant of Dobbs & Son, at Auburn, and
the interior of the new carnation house
at the new plant this firm recently
started. They are planning to make an
extensive addition to the new plant this
season, for business is booming with
them all the time, running far ahead of
any previous year.

FERTILIZERS
FOR FLORISTS
^•^r»>•■yr»)•fe^f»>'fer»>.
I
WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW USED.
Natural and Artificial.
A fertilizer is defined as "any sub-
stance which, Avhen added to the soil,
adds directly or indirectly to the amount
of nutritive substances available to the
])Iants growing in that soil." However,
to better understand the role that fer-
tilizers play in the growing of plants,
one should understand what elements are
necessary for the development of the
jilant itself.
Among the elements necessary for plant
growth are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen,
sulphur, potassium, phosphorus, calcium,
magnesium, iron, chlorine, sodium and
silicon. Although the last three are
found in nearly all plants, the plants will
grow without them. The question then
arises as to where the plant secures these
elements. With the exception of carbon,
all are taken from the soil. The soil,
then, is the source of all the mineral ele-
ments which are represented by the ash
of the plant. All this mineral food-stuff
is taken up in solution through the
minute root-hairs of the plant.
The carbon which is used in building
up food substances which are later used
in the construction of plant tissues is
taken through the breathing pores of the
leaves and other green parts of the plant.
Carbon is taken up in the form of carbon
<lioxide and is decomposed by the energy
of sunlight acting on the chlorophyl
bodies of the living cell; the carbon and
part of the oxygen are combined with
other elements to form foods and the re-
mainder of the oxygen is given off to the
air. As carbon dioxide is always present
in the air, there is no need to worry about
the source of the supply of this food-stuff.
To give the plants a suflScient supply
means merely good ventilation.
The Most Important Elements.
It is well to study the role of some of
tiie more important mineral elements.
Nitrogen is necessary for cell building
or growth. It is specifically directed to
increasing the vegetative parts. An ex-
cess of nitrogen tends to make the plant
grow for too long a period, forming more
leaves and shoots and retarding the devel-
opment of the flowers and seeds. It also
tends to deepen the color of the leaves.
Phosphorus is necessary for the forma-
tion of protoplasm and tends to increase
tlie ripening process, particularly seed
formation. It thus causes an early ripen-
ing of the crop.
Potassium is necessary for the forma-
tion of carbo-hydrates, such as sugar and
starch, and plays an important part in
the development of the wood and the
fleshy parts of the fruit.
Magnesium is a constituent of chloro-
phyl.
Calcium is present in all plants and
serves to. neutralize the acids formed dur-
ing growth.
Iron is necessary for the formation of
chlorophyl, and its absence produces
chlorosis.
All these elements are found in the
soil in varying quantities, but three of
them— nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-
sium— arc used in such large quantities
that they are likely to become exhausted.
These, then, must be added from time to
time to secure the best developments.
Also, to get the best results, they must
be in the proper proportion. The effect
of their presence in insufficient quantity
or absence of the necessary elements en-
tirely is perhaps best expressed by the
law of minimum : * * The nutrient present
in the soil in. minimum quantity gives a
standard for the amount of production
as a whole," or, in other words, the lim-
ited element determines the size of the
crop.
The availability of an element alsp
affects the growth of the plant. The
availability is determiifed by the form in
which it is found in the soil.
Necessity for Natural Manures.
Fertilizers are of two general types,
known as natural manures and artificial
fertilizers. By natural manures are meant
the cleanings from cow barns, horse
stables, hen coops, etc., mixed with decay-
ing vegetable matter of various kinds.
Natural manures, when added to the soil,
serve two functions: First, they add to
the supply of the elements necessary for
growth; second, they improve the phys-
ical properties of the soil. Those soils
that are clayey and compact are made
more open and porous by the separation
of the particles so that air and water can
enter more freely, thus acting directly on
the insoluble constituents. The roots of
the plant can also penetrate more readily.
Those soils that are light are also bene-
fited, by the filling of the spaces between
the particles, thus making it more com-
pact. Artificial or commercial fertilizers,
on the other hand, merely add to the fer-
tility without making any great change
in the physical properties of the soil.
This is not always true, as a few are
sometimes injurious if used by them-
selves.
It must also be kept in mind that
bacteria do much to increase the fertility
of the soil, by making many of the in-
soluble compounds soluble. To give these
helpful forms the best chances for devel-
opment, the soil must contain decaying
organic matter. It is well, then, to keep
in mind that a small quantity, at least,
of natural manure should be added to our
greenhouse soils.
In the past the tendency has been to
use nothing but natural manures, but
their scarcity in the present day has made
it necessary to add commercial fertilizers
to the florist's list.
Of the natural manures the two that
are in most common use are barnyard
and stable manures. These differ some-
what in character. Barnyard manure is
a cold manure and ferments rather slowly,
so that there is less danger in its use
when it is not thoroughly decayed. Stable

THE WILSONS OF BOCHESTEB.
More than a quarter of a century ago
Hiram E, Wilson began the cultivation
of flowers on an extensive scale, first
as a wholesale grower and later in the
retail field. As the business increased
in volume, Mr. Wilson soon discovered
that one of his most valuable assets
was a trio of ambitious sons, who be-
lieved there was an opportunity to es-
tablish a trade that would increase
from year to year and eventually give
each of them a department under his
own management.
So these three boys — Edwin P.,
Hiram W. and Eansford W. — were in-
troduced to the routine work of the
greenhouse and potting benches, as well
as the outdoor tasks in the hot sun.
And the boys stuck to the job, learning
the unpleasant parts of the work as well
as the pleasant, until any one of them
could perform any task about the place
and do if right, too. Then came a course
of training in the retail store. Here,
again, the spirit of "staying on the
job" showed itself, and it soon became
apparent that the time had come for
a change in the management of the
business, and that each one should be
given a special department.
Edwin P. Wilson, the oldest son, had
developed a talent for managing a re-
, tail' store, and to him fell the work of
caring for the store located at 88 Main
street, east. As Eochester increased
in population the Wilson business in-
creased, and the greenhouses were taxed
to the utmost to supply the demands
made by this store.
Then came another change. The old
greenhouses were remodeled, new ones
of the most improved type were erected,
and the entire supervision of the green-
houses and fields was assumed by Hiram
W. Wilson. When a man loves his
work he usually makes a success of it;
here is, indeed, a successful greenhouse
manager, one who watches details, who
handles a force of from fifteen to
twenty men without friction and gets
the best there is in them. In connec-
tion with the houses is a retail store
that is also under Hiram W. 's manage-
ment. Some idea of Hiram W. Wilson's
duties may be gleaned from the fact
that over two acres of land are under
glass, and over twenty acres under
cultivation. Carnations, mums and roses
receive the greatest attention, although
somewhere on the place one can find
almost anything needed for a general
retail florist's trade.
About four years ago the time seemed
opportune to open another retail store
and the Eochester Floral Co. made its
first opening at 375 Main street, east,
under the management of Eansford W.
Wilson. This store was a success from
the start, but building changes on Main
street made a removal necessary a little
more than a year ago, and new quar-

BOSTON.
The Market.
Business was quite poor last week. We
had a hot spell followed by a severe cold
wave and later by rain. Of white roses
there is as yet no surplus, but all other
varieties are abundant and lower in price.
Among other varieties some excellent
Chatenay are noted and My Maryland
is seen of improved quality. The Killar-
neys, however, remain the most popular
varieties. Carnations are arriving in un-
wieldy numbers and are increasingly dif-
ficult to clean up. Among the light pinks
Fair Maid is beginning to assert itself.
This is an excellent summer variety and
one which holds its color well. Single
violets are still abundant and of -good
quality. The present month will, how-
ever, finish all of these, except such as are
growing in coldfyames. Sweet peas con-
tinue abundant and many are of grand
quality. There is still a wide range in
prices, the short-stemmed ones being dif-
ficult to dispose of.
Callas and lilfts continue overpleatiful,
as is lily of the valley. ]\Iarguerites con-
tinue to sell freely and there is no trou-
ble in selling all good flowers of both
white and yellow. Dutch bulbous stock
is still somewhat of a glut, tulips, nar-
cissi and hyacinths all being overabun-
dant, with prices tending downward.
English primroses are becoming quite
plentiful and sell well. Myosotis is :i
glut and hard to move. Antirrhinums of
taking shades of color .are selling well.
Mignonette moves slowly. Gardenias are
abundant and selling slowly. In orchids,
cattleyas are getting scarce, but coelo-
gynes and dendrobiums are plentiful.
Adiantum is now of better quality. As-
paragus Sprengeri and plumosus are -i
slower sale. Plant sales continue to pick
up.
Club Meeting.
A big and enthusiastic gathering
March 21, this being the meeting imme-
diately preceding the S. A. F. show and
convention. The report of the banquet
committee was read and showed a balance
on the right side. Donors of cut flowers
and plants were thanked and special
thanks were tendered George M. Ander-
son for his decorations. Thomas Pegler,
chairman of the S. A. F. entertainment
committee, reported that contributions
had come in satisfactorily and that every-
thing pointed to a record gathering at the
club reception to be tendered to visiting
guests in Paul Eevere hall March 29, and
not :March 30, as incorrectly announced
in the ofticial program. All arrangements
had been perfected for the reception and
a first-class caterer and orchestra engaged.
W. H. Elliott spoke for the Eose Society,
Wm. Sim for the Sweet Pea Society,
Mr. Farquhar and others for the S. A. F.
show committee. Every foot of space is
taken in the trade display and there are
as many as twelve entries in some of the
competitive classes. The club offers a
prize of $50 for six acacias.
Owing to the near approach of the big
show, exhibits were fewer than usual.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ m^«^h 23. 1911
The membership list again received an
addition, there bein^ ten new members
admitted. The question box contained a
niunber of queries, which were taken up
and answered, relating to gardenia cul-
ture; whether Carnation Pink Delight is
a superior variety to Knchantress, which
brought out a diversity of opinions.
Whether hybrid amarvllis should ever be
completely dried off was answered in the
negative. What caused forced tulips to
make healthy roots and growth and all
tlowers turn brown, might be due to one
of several causes, premature lifting, too
little moisture at the root, or too early
forcing of naturally mid-season or late
varieties. One query was of what benefit
the S. A. F. was to the private gardener
and this brought out some discussion.
An invitation to hold a field day in
August at the gladiolus fields of B.' Ham-
mond Tracy was received and referred
to tl-ie executive committee. It was an-
nounced that at the April meeting Mr.
Tracy will lecture on "The Gladiolus
and Its Culture."
Various Notes.
Some of the larger exhibitors at the
S. A. F. National Show were getting their
exhibits in position as early as March 20.
Farquhar & Co. are busy at work on their
elaborate Dutch garden, so is Philip Car-
bone on his Italian garden, while some of
the larger trade exhibitors are here in
person making active preparations for
their stands. The reception by the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club in Paul Be-
vere hall will be Wednesday evening,
March 29, and not as on the official pro-
gram. The carnation meeting will come
on the following evening. There will be
entertainment in plenty for all visitors,
as automobile excursions, theater parties,
etc., are arranged for. From all parts
of the country are coming advices of
visitors coming and the coming show and
convention will undoubtedly bring to-
gether more gardeners and florists at one
time than ever before in America.
The severe cold wave which suddenly
struck us March 15 caught some florists
najjping. With the wind blowing sixty
miles an hour and temperature little
above zero, those who retired figuring on
a mild night awoke to get a disagreeable
surprise. F. W. i letcher, of Auburndale,
had one house of bedding stock destroyed.
A few squares of glass out gave the wind
an entrance which soon demolished the
roof. William Patterson, of WoUaston,
lost a house of carnations. The end doors
blew open during the night and every-
thing was found stiff in the morning. The
fierce wind blew over a horse and delivery
team laden with boxes of roses belonging
to the Waban Conservatories, but no
great damage was done. Many minor
losses were reported.
Everett E. Cummings, of Woburn, has
broken ground for three new houses,
40x150, to be devoted to single violets.
He has had phenomenal success with
Princess of Wales, and March 18 easily
sold 25,000 of grand quality. He follows
the violets with cucumbers, except one
house of Comet tomatoes.
Thomas Eoland's stock for the show is
of grand quality. His rambler roses are
just right and he has a superb lot of
acacias, ericas, genistas, bougainvilleas,
hydrangeas and other plants.
A. Leuthy & Co., of Boslindale, have a
superb lot of giganteum lilies, many thou-
sands in number, for Easter. They have
also a beautiful lot of gardenias, azaleas.
Hiram W. Wilson.
Crataegus, genistas, etc. They will have
a large group at the S. A. F. show and
will compete in many classes.
The Sutermeister estate, of Eeadville,
lost a load of plants by fire a few days
ago. A team was being sent into Boston.
The heater set fire to the wagon and, a
strong wind blowing, the driver did not
notice anything amiss until the heat
caused him to look around. Wagon and
contents were a total loss.
J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, is one of
the heaviest shippers of yellow marguer-
ites to the Boston Co-Operative Market.
His Fair Maid and Beacon carnations are
extra fine, with stems of remarkable
length.
John McKenzie, of North Cambridge,
is sick in bed with the grip.
B. J. McGinty, at the Boston Co-Opera-
tive Market, has just recovered from an
attack of laryngitis.
J. T. Butterworth has a superb lot of
valley in pots. These and orchids will be
among his exhibits at the show. '
Penn Bros, are keeping busy during
the lenten season. Henry Penn will be
back for the show and the firm will be
among the exhibitors in its special lines.
Gardenias, violets and valley are all sell-
ing well here.
J. A. Zinn, on Park street, made a fine
window display March 18 of Rose Mrs.
Aaron Ward, from W. H. Elliott, and
Princess of Wales violets from Everett
E. Cummings. The two colors contrasted
nicely and attracted much attention from
passers-by.
J. Newman & Sons continue to have a
heavy business in funeral work and find
business for the dull season quite good.
They had a pretty table decoration of
lavender sweet peas and lily of the val-
ley in one of their windows last week.
J. Leach & Son have their new light
pink carnation, Pink Supreme, in excel-
lent shape and it should render a favor-
able account of itself at the big show
next week. W. N. Craig.
The Flower Growers' Sales Co., capital
$25,000, has been granted a charter. The
incorporators are E. Allan Peirce, Louis

.hirgens.
DENVEE.
The Market.
Business picked up considerably in the
middle of last week, a great deal of it
being due to funerkl work. The first of
the week was rather dull and for a time
it looked as though it might continue all
week, but on Wednesday there was a
great rush that has kept up pretty well.
White carnations have been scarce, and
the price for St. Patrick's day was ad-
vanced. This was a banner day for the
florists. Everyone colored just a few
mora carnations than he thought he would
need, but several were sold out before
noon and it was impossible to buy any
at wholesale. American Beauties are off
crop, and the few that come in are easily
disposed of. Smilax is ' * worth its weight
in gold. ' ' One florist was fortunate
enough to buy twenty-five strings, but
when asked where he got it he refused
to tell.
Easter stock looks quite promising, but
many of the Easter lilies have practically
no stems. Bulb stock is fine, and there
will be quantities of it.
The California violet peddlers keep one
busy watching their movements. ' They
are here one week, and away the next.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Last week they appeared with violets of
•especially poor quality, but the bunches
were large and only 20 cents was asked, so
that quantities were sold.
Club Meeting.
The Colorado Florists' Club met Tues-
day evening, March 14, at the offices of
the Park Floral Co. An effort had been
made to get some of the members to give
a five-minute talk on any subject that
they wished, but most of those on the
program got stage fright, or something
■else, and failed to respond. G. A. Eolin,
when called on, told of his experiences
here in the early days, and from that
time up to the present. Mr. Eolin evi-
dently spent a great deal of time on his
paper, and deserves credit for it. E. S.
Kennedy read an article on a visit to the
cliff dwellers in Aztec, N. M. J. A. Sked
tried to get some information in regard
to growing Easter lilies, but all were
silent on the subject. Even those who
have been successful refused to tell the
secret, and Mr. Sked is still in the dark.
Geo. H. Cooper had charge of the music,
Mr. Valentine having loaned his Victrola
for the occasion. A quartette was or-
ganized, and we expect to have some good
singing at future meetings.
The meetings of this club will hereafter
be held on the first Tuesday in the month,
instead of the second Tuesday.
Various Notes.
Thos. Chapman has obtained the final
patents on a device with which he has
boon working for years. It is an orchard
lighting apparatus, to be used in the"
spring when there is danger of frost.
The orchard thermometer can be set at
any degree, and when the temperature
drops to that point a gong is sounded in
the farmer's house, or at some other con-
venient place, and in ten minutes an
orchard of ten acres can be lighted by
simply throwing a switch, which causes
an electric spark to travel quickly from
one smudge pot to the next. Mr. Chap-
man is justly proud of his success, and
expects his invention to net him a great
many dollars in the next few years.
When his expectations come true, he is
going to retire from the florist business.
John Emsbach, who for the last twenty
years has been with the Elitch-Long
Greenhouses, has given up his position
there, and is now working for the Park
Floral Co.
A Ford torpedo runabout, fully
equipped, will be given away June 12 by
the Park Floral Co.
W. H. Grimes has gone into the
geranium business quite heavily this
spring. Just now he has 30,000 geraniums
in 4-inch pots.
J. A. Jensen has entered the employ
of the Park Floral Co., and will have
entire charge of the landscape work. He
was formerly with John Withers and
Theodore Wirth.
The only Denver florists who will at-
tend the National Flower Show are J. A.
Valentine and Emil Glauber. They left
Denver last Sunday evening, Mrs. Valen-
tine going with them as far as Omaha,
and from there to Minneapolis, Minn., to
visit lier father. Before returning
home she will go to Blue Island, 111., to
be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. N.
Rudd.
Visitors: C. A. Espelin, Fort Collins,
Colo.; Ed. Johnson, Wm. H. Evans and
John Berry, Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Market.
While business reinainetl good the
greater part of last week, it was not
active enough to keep pace with the sup-
ply. Especially was this true with vio-
lets, valley and bulbous stock. Roses
were quite plentiful and moved pretty
well. Good carnations held their own.
while the poorer grades were at the mercy
of the buyers. The demand for white
carnations for St. Patrick's day was
ahead of any previous year. Owing to
the spring openings at the different de-
partment stores, asparagus strings moved
well.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Currie left for ^lon-
treal March 19, for a short visit. From
there they intend to go to the National
Flower Show at Boston, at which city
Mrs. Currie will make a month 's visit.
Mr. Currie will return in about a fort-
night.
Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, will
stage some of his white seedling carna-
tion, No.- 274, at the Boston show next
week.
The Aug. J^\ Kellner Co. came in for
their share of the spring openings of
several of the large department stores.
With the spring-like weather they are
daily booking orders for outdoor work.
Bowling.
March 19 the Chicago bowlers and
rooters put in an appearance and, with
ideal weather, the whole affair moved on
without a hitch. On arrival the guests
were tendered an automobile ride in the
cars of H. V. Hunkel, W. A. Kennedy.
Nic Zweifel and Fred Holton. After
dinner, which was taken at the Charlotte
hotel, the auto trip was continued till
2:30, at which time they landed at the
bowling alleys at Eleventh and Prairie
streets and got right down to business.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
The National Flower Show, which the
S. A. F. and the special flower soci-
eties have had in preparation for three
years, will open at Boston Saturday
evening, March 25, and continue to the
evening of Saturday, April 1. It will
be the great trade event of the year
and; the floor space of the large Me-
chai^ics building will be none too great
to accommodate the flower show and
the ^trade's display. As reduced rail-
road fares have been granted as far
west as the Mississippi river, a large
attendance of those in the trade is as-
sured.
THE NATIONAL SHOW MANAGER.
I
F^ank B. Pierson, chairman of the com-
mittee of the S. A. F. charged with the
arrangements for the National Flower
Show of next week, congratulates himself
that the happiest stroke in the months
of work which have been done was the
selection of Chester I. Campbell as gen-
eral manager of the exhibition. The com-
mittee discovered, early sifter its organi-
zation, that it was impossible to find a
florist who had all the necessary qualifi-
cations for handling the infinite amount
of detail connected with the management
of the show. No florist could take froni
his business a sufficient amount of time,
and no florist could be found with ex-
perience in the management of such a
mammoth and costly affair as was con-
templated. In Mr. Campbell the com-
mittee found a professional showman of
wide experience, a man of such infinite
tact and pleasing personality that it was
habitual with him to get what he wanted,
and get it without friction. Mr. Pierson
and the committee early realized the hap-
piness of their selection, and the ex-
hibitors and the trade at large will come
to appreciate it when they find with
what rare foresight every contingency has
been provided for.
LADIES' S. A. F.
F. R. Pierson, chairman of the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee, has re-
quested the secretary of this society to
issue orders for members' season tick-
ets to all who have paid their dues for
1911. Members will find the secretary
at exhibition hall ready to receive dues
and issue orders. Be sure to bring
your order, as no duplicate will be is-
sued. Please wear your badge pin.
Mrs. J. V. Phillips, Pres.,
Mrs. Chas. H. Maynard, Sec 'y.
AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
At next week's rose show in Boston
the Brant-Hentz Flower Co. will exhibit
a new rose, Madison, and says of it:
"This rose is a cross between Bride,
Pearl and Meteor, has foliage resem-
bling holly foliage, flowers white, re-
sembling Bride, large buds, foliage
nearly iriipossible to take mildew on
account of its hardness; the plants will
bloom five flowers to Bride's three.
There is little blind wood and cuts con-
tinually throughout the whole year. ' '
E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., will
show Sunburst, to be distributed next
year. Stockton & Howe, Princeton,
N. J., will bring out one called Prince-
ton. S. J. Renter & Son bring out two
new roses: Double Improved White
Killarney, a pure white sport from the
Waban strain of White Killarney,
which they describe as much larger
bud, double the size of the ordinary
Chester I. Campbell,
(General Manager, National Flower Show.)
White Killarney, stronger and more
vigorous in growth, making a larger
plant, with heavy foliage, an excellent
summer white and the ideal white for
winter; Cerise Pink Killarney, a deep
pink sport from Killarney, having a
velvety sheen and beautiful shading,
deeper than Killarney at its best and
having a heavier bud.
The State Florists' Association of
Indiana a year ago invited the Rose
Society to go to Indianapolis in 1912
and the invitation has now been re-
newed. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y.
MR. WIRTH DISCLAIMS CREDIT.
On the list of guarantors of the Na-
tional Flower Show Theodore Wirth's
name appears in the schedule. Credit
shoHld be given not to Mr. Wirth per-
sonally, but to the Minnesota State
Florists' Association, of which Mr.
Wirth is president. The Minnesota
State Florists' Association, wishing to
show its interest in the affairs of the
national association, was among the
first to subscribe to the guarantee fund.
Proper credit is given on the station-
ery of the National Flower Show, but
through some inadvertence in the sched-
ule only Mr. Wirth ''s name appears.
It should be the Minnesota State Flo-
rists' Association, Minneapolis, Minn.
ANOTHER SHOW IN BOSKOOP.
In commemoration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the Pomological Society,
a flower exhibition will take place from
April 5 to 20.
,,His Royal Highness Prince Henry
of the Netherlands has accepted the
patronage of this exposition, while the
Secretary of Agriculture, Industry and
Commerce and the Commissioner of the
Queen for South Holland have accepted
the place of honorary chairmen. Fur-
thermore, the Under-Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Mayor of Boskoop will
act as honorary president and presi-
dent of the committee of honor.
The great number of exhibits, which
will demonstrate the great variety of
plants Boskoop produces for export, will
be judged by an international jury
composed of sixty of the best known
horticulturists from twelve different
countries. J. C. de Marez Oyens, L.
D. D., chairman of the Dutch Horticul-
tural Council, has kindly consented to
act as chairman of the jury.
D. A. Koster, Chairman,
D. Frets, Secretary;
of the Committee.
CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.
The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., has
offered the following special prizes for
the exhibition of the Chrysanthemum
Society of America to be held at St.
Louis in November: For the best ten
■•iDlooms of Emberta, $10; for the best ten
blooms of Wells' Late Pink, $10; for
the best ten blooms of Golden Gem. $10.

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
Speaking by the almanac, spring is
here; arrived Tuesday at noon.
No, gentle reader, this is not a special
number of The Review. The specials
come March 30 and April 6.
The rains in California have interfered
with the picking of Mexican ivy and the
supply therefore has been temporarily
short.
If L. S. J., Cleveland, will send his full
name and address his questions will be
answered. Anonymous inquiries never
are answered.
In other lines of trade it certainly is
not the custom to allow wholesale rates
simply because the would-be buyer asks
for them or may know what they are.
Why, then, should it be done with flo-
rists' or nurserymen's products? Ther^
is only one answer — the fear that "the
♦ other fellow ' will if I don 't. ' '
A COPY of ''The Carnation Year
Book, ' ' published by the Perpetual Flow-
ering Carnation Society of Great Britain,
has reached The Review. It is a volume
of seventy-six pages, not counting the ad-
vertising section, and gives in concrete
form the status of the carnation in Eng-
land today. The volume is edited by J.
S. Brunton, Burnley, and is sent ])Ost
free on payment of 30 cents.
The failure of the new rose. Rayon
d'Or, distributed last year by Pernet-
Ducher, has been the subject of much
comment in the trade in Europe. The
raiser acknowledges that the stock sent
out was not as strong as it might have
been, but places the blame on climatic
conditions, over which he had no control;
he had "either to deliver the best stock
he had or default on his contracts. ' '
In commenting on the paper of E. G.
Hill, read before the Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association and printed in The
Review for February 16, the Horticultural
Advertiser (English) says: "Mr. Hill's
name is familiar to most of us as a lead-
ing American authority on new plants.
His opinions are the result of actual ob-
servation, and not mere gleanings and ex-
cerpts from catalogues which are often
served up in the press as 'information'
on novelties and which are often of le^s
value than the paper they are printed
on."
In an address to the florists of his
state the venerable Mr. Burrell, vice-pres-
ident of the University of IJlinois, pad
this to say : " It is an axiom fhjit demand
creates supply, but you flower growers
have also to consider the opposite law,
that supply creates demand. It is your
work not only to prodjice flowers but to
show them to the people, that their love
of the beautiful may be quickened and
that the supply you have provided may
beget the demand that brings you profit.
Fortunate are you flower men in this land
of ninety million prosperous people that
you can create your supply and so easily
create the. demand to keep pace with that
supply to your own enrichment."
OBITUABT.
John Lavey.
John Lavey, ground foreman at the
nurseries of F. E. Grover & Co., at
Brighton, Rochester, N. Y., died March
8, of valvular disease of the heart. He
fell to the floor while engaged at his
duties in one of the storage rooms, and
died almost instantly. He was 50 years
old, unmarried, and had been employed
about the nurseries for eight years.
WiUiam A. Blaedel.
William A. Blaedel, 402 West Twenty-
third street, New York, died Friday,
March 17. He was one of the pioneer
retail florists of New York and was
highly respected by all, conducting a
prosperous business for nearly half a
century.
George Lorenz.
Announcement is made of the death of
George Lorenz, Woodside, N. Y., who was
one of the oldest growers on Long Island
and well and favorably known in the New-
York market. He was a member of the
Society of American Florists for the last
ten years.
M. E. Longfellow.
Marcus E. Longfellow, a florist of
Yorktown, Ind., died recently at his home
in that town, at the age of 51 years. He
had returned only a few days previously
from Florida, where he had spent the
winter. He is survived by his wife, one
daughter and two sons.
B. F. Washington.
Benjamin F. Washington, of North
Stoughton, Mass., died at the home of
his daughter. Miss Adeline Washington,
March 14, at the age of 71 years. He
was born in Boston and had resided in
Stoughton for about thirty years. He
was a member of Gen. Nelson A. Miles '
command. Union Veterans' Union, of
Brockton, and tor several years had
been quartermaster of Post 72, G. A. R.,
of Stoughton. Besides his daughter, he
leaves one son, Benjamin Washington,
Jr., a resident of Somerville, Mass.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
Last week was carnation week, while
this is rose week, for with bright skies
and spring-like weather, "the melancholy
days have come, tjie saddest of the
year"; the days when scarcity and high
prices are still fresh in mind, but the
ice-boxes are so crammed with stock that
no ofter, reasonable or otherwise, is re-
fused for the accumulations of fast de-
teriorating flowers. Once every spring
we get the glut. This year it has been
longer delayed than most of those in
this market thought possible. There is
a large volume of business being done,
but the receipts of flowers are so far
beyond the legitimate demand that it is
impossible to make any sort of clearance.
While fair prices still are being re-
ceived for the selected stock required by
the high class stores, the accumulations
are jobbed oflF for whatever they will
"^ring. By far the greater part of the
cut goes at the job-lot prices, with the
result that averages returned to growers
are extremely low.
The only item in the list which can be
called short is the American Beauty,
which is extremely scarce in the longer
grades. Cuts of Beauty are not nearly

READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDERS FOR ^
LILIES
•i. .*.
FOR EASTER
Really good Lilies will not be plentiful this Eaater — too many ready too soOn, too much disease,
too many short stems. But OUr Lilies will be fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy and
even; mostly long stems. Protect yourself by placing your order with us now. loo lOOO
Long stems, the best in the market $15.00 $125.00
Medium stems, fine flowers 12.50 100.00
Short stems, good flowers 10.00 85.00
These will run three to five flowers to the stem, will be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100
and shipped without rehandling.
ROSES
These are very fine and plentiful.
We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney and White Killarney,
for we are certain that these roses, at the prices we now are able to
make on them, will win friends for us by making friends for those who
buy of us.
Finer Killameys never were seen — better flowers, stron^r stems or
more perfect foliage — the crop is so la»ge that we are able to give the trade
the advantage of lower prices than they ever before were able to get such
fine roses at. All lengths can be supplied in quantity.
Order some of these roses today and you will reorder every day.
CARNATIONS
We have never had a finer lot of stock, nor do we recall a season when
prices have been more reasonable. Write for quotations on thousand lots-
push for business and you will find this one of the most profitable seasons
of the year.
SWEET PESS
For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never
have had at this date such fine stock or such large quantities as now. Extra
long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as
white and pink. We are shipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great
quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction.
Valley
Fine VaUey is something you need
every day in the year. We always
have it. Order of us and get the best.

so heavy as cuts of other roses. There
is a fair supply of medium and shorter
lengths, but hardly any of the extra long
stems with perfect flowers.
Heavy as are the supplies of Killar-
ney, White Killarney and other roses,
the growers say the spring crop is just
coming on and that the next few days
w^ill see much larger cuts. The quality
of a large part of the stock is excep-
tionally fine. Those who can use good
roses in quantity at a price are having
their inning.
Going back to St. Patrick's day, an-
ticipating a special demand for white
carnations, the growers saved them up,
with the result that, after the shipping
demand had been supplied, the continued
heavy receipts carried prices much be-
low what had been anticipated by the
growers. Some of the special sales peo-
ple bought heavily March 17 and served
to clear the market of all the carnations
that were offered at cheap prices. March
18 values were a little better, but the
present week opens with another heavy
supply and the prospect of steady ac-
cumulation until Friday, when the spe-
cial sales are again expected to afford
some relief.
Bulbous stock has been as plentiful
as carnations and it has been impossi-
ble to find a market for all of it. Eas-
ter lilies have been one of the chief
problems; many growers are weeks too
early with their Easter crop. The single
violets are approaching the end of their
season and the eastern stock is not com-
ing in so heavily as a week or two ago.
There is, however, no improvement in
the salability of donble violets.

certain that the next fortnight will see
all "flowers in oversupply, prices at a low
level, with the cheap sales people operat-
ing extensively; the big buyers at small
prices always respond to a condition
such as the present.
Mexican ivy was scarce for several
days last week, said to be due to the ex-
cessively rainy season in California.
Florida asparagus bunches are plentiful.
Various Notes.
Fred Lautenschlager is the advance
guard of the Chicago delegation at the
National Flower Show. He went to Bos-
ton March 18.
Work on the organization of the Chi-
cago Flower Growers' Association is
prjjgressing. Pending the receipt of the
charter no election has been had, but it
is the plan that J. F. Kidwell is to be
president and George Weiland secretary
and treasurer. Some of those interested
want to open their wholesale house early
in May, while others favor opening in
September.

on some of the following days. The
weather has shown Marchy to a degree — a
drop in temperature to 14 degrees, a

The supply of flowers has not increased
particularly under these rather adverse
conditions. The features of the market
are the continued scarcity of fancy Beau-

sweet peas, the retrogression of single
violets and the increased importance of
southern daffodils. White carnations ad-

of varieties, based, as it is, on a wide
experience of market requirements. An
appointment was made with Eobert A.
Craig last week to go over the houses
and see what is being grown for Eas-
ter. The point most strongly brought
out in the walk through the range of
houses was the clever timing that is
being done to have the stock in condi-
tion at Easter. Mr. Craig emphasized
the importance this year of the stock
being ripe, but not overripe. "Easter
is so late," he said, "that the three
weeks just before it will probably be
equal to five weeks earlier in the sea-
son. It is important to have the stock
hard and not too far advanced; conse-
quently all our stock is being grown
cool, with plenty of air."
The lilies are all giganteum, some
18,000 pots in number, ranging in
height from eighteen to thirty inches,
averaging four or five flowers to a
plant. They look well, especially so
when compared with the short gigan-
teum lilies 80 common this season. The

buds are developed just enough to show
that they will be perfect as the foliage
beneath. Tkere are three houses
of Hydrangea Otaksa, chiefly in me-
dium sizes, timed for early, midseason
and late orders. These hydrangeas
promise well; they are thickly set with
heads of good size, are short and stocky
and even throughout.
The roses are a feature of the dis-
play. Crimson Eambler has resumed its
place in the front rank. American
Pillar, with splendid foliage, makes its
first appearance this season as an Eas-
ter rose. Lady Gay, Dorothy Perkins
and Hiawatha have a large house to
themselves. Foremost among the rose
novelties are the plants trained in bas-
ket shape. Fancy a long-handled bas-
ket of growing roses, with room to
drop a blooming plant of, let us fancy,
golden genista, to contrast with its
scarlet clusters. Then there are Taus-
endschon, a magnificent bench of Magna
Charta and an assortment of the best
hybrid teas. Baby Eambler, with its
pink cousins, not forgetting Phyllis,
completes the list.
The spiraeas present a vast scene of
glossy foliage with flower spikes push-
ing well through, all Gladstone and in
superb condition. The azaleas looked

clean and promising, well set with buds,
in the standard Easter varieties. It
is too early to say more than that the
buds were full and plump and plenty
of them. The rhododendrons are fine,
some of them of unusual size. They
will be better, Mr. Craig thinks, than
even in the past. A moderate number
of genistas are being grown in 6-inch
pots, but the bulk of the stock is in
4-inch, for basket work. They look
particularly nice, with the temperature
at 45 degrees and the cool air blowing
over them.
The side tables in many of the
houses are devoted to basket plants,
small stock of all the leading varieties
especially grown for use in this way.
The list closes with valley, now being
potted in 5-inch and 6-inch pans for
blooming at Easter.
The place contains more Easter
blooming plants than ever before and
shows that it is considered better to
concentrate all energy on standard or
staple stock rather than attempt a
number of unknown and untried sorts.
Chief among the foliage plant sec-
tion, pushed forward to some extent
at Easter, is Ficus pandurata, a spe-
cialty here for many years. Ferns, too,
are featured in all the best Boston
types, while dracsBuas, crotons, bego-
nias and cyclamens await their turn
that comes April 17.
Before closing, there is always the
last thought. This time it is the daisies
in yellow, white, in big and bigger, all
the picture of health. The P. P. S. is
a little house of Spiraea Queen Alex-
andra, pink, the delicate beauty of
which depends on a light shading just

The lilies are all multiforum and look
remarkably well. They range from
short to medium tall, from three to ten

to a satisfactory height. ' ' The spirseas
are all Gladstone — fine stock. The
hydrangeas are all Otaksa, with the
buds sufficiently advanced to assure
their being in time without rushing.
The cinerarias are beautifully marked,
in great variety, many of them bright
colors strikingly contrasted. The Prim-
ula obconica form a pretty contrast
to the more garish cinerarias. The aza-
leas fill the last new house, chronicled
in this column last fall, and many
houses more. They comprise the lead-
ing commercial sorts in the popular
sizes and are enjoying that careful sort-
ing and straightening so necessary to
the azalea that is to be properly timed.
Variety, stage of advancement, even-
ness of buds are considered as the plant
is put in a cooler or warmer house or
with the undeveloped buds turned to
the sun.
Mr. Aschmann prides himself on the
fact that he never advances the price.
His prices, he says, are exactly the
same this year as they have been for
many years past, which probably means
that his price is lower this year, value
considered, as the stock has advanced
with the times.

NEW YORK.
The Market.
Spring has arrived and the express strike
is not yet over as the week opens. Flowers
have arrived hours behind time and when
they do arrive the wholesalers cannot get
them, even when they send their own
wagons. So the unsatisfactory condi-
tions existing in the New York market
can better be imagined than described.
Some boxes have been found after days
of searching. Yet there is enough of
everything to supply all legitimate de-
mands, with a surplus that only the street
can handle. These sidewalk merchants
are the salvation of the overcrowded mar-
ket.
The best roses, except American Beau-
ties, are down to 5 cents in large lots,
and $6 per hundred is considered high.
Straight slips sometimes are passed out
at half that quotation. The quality of
the rose stock is superb. The Beauty sup-
ply is increasing and prices are on the
down grade. As to carnations, 2 cents
will buy the best of them. St. Patrick's
day brought a fair demand for everything
white. The orchid supply is sufficient for
all demands, but has not yet descended
to the street for patronage, though its
sister flower, the gardenia, is obliged to
seek that outlet. Lilies of all kinds are
lower, including valley. Only the best of
the sweet pea varieties sell, and of tulips,
narcissi and daffodils there is no end.
The southern shipments are fast increas-
ing. Much of the violet stock is inferior.
Even the street and the big department
stores cannot take all that come in, even
at their own figures.
The Banquet.
The banquet of the ilorists' Club,
March 18, came up to general expecta-
tion. An attendance of 250, beautifully
decorated tables, a splendid menu, good
orchestral music, a vaudeville entertain-
ment and addresses by J. S. Brunton and
J. Brown, of the English visitors, and
by F. K. Pierson and P. O'Mara, of the
club, and Chester I. Campbell, of Boston,
with dancing afterward, made up a pro-
gram of unusual interest.
Chairman Weathered presented ex-
President Miller with the club's memento
of his services during 1910, a handsome
diamond pin.
President J. B. Nugent, Jr., ably pre-
sided as toastmaster. Will Macdonald,
of the Yonkers Horticultural Society,
sang splendidly, and the greatest of good
fellowship prevailed.
Tables of eight permitted friends to
be seated congenially, and the whole af-
fair was voted the most brilliant gath-
ering of ladies and gentlemen in the
club's history. Regrets came from
Messrs. Asmus, Valentine, Kasting, Hill,
Craig and many other notables. Messrs.
Farquhar, Edgar, Stewart and Camp-
bell and Mr. and Mrs. P. Welch were the
galaxy from the Hub.

cold, thus preserving con-
tents much longer than
ordinary wood box.
H. & D. FloriBts' Box
can be used several times.
Is much lighter than the
ordinary box, thus saving
in express charges.

Marsh, and by Messrs. Nugent, Shaw and
Pepper. After iunch at the Broadway Cen-
tral the party spent the afternoon visit-
ing the wholesalers on West Twenty-
' eighth street. In the evening they left
for Philadelphia, where they were the
guests of W. Atlee Burpee. They re-
turned to New York Saturday evening in
,tinie for the banquet and were the guests
of the New, York Florists' Club. The
reception given the visitors was a most
enthusiastic one.
'Woodrow & Marketos is the name of
the new firm that has rented the store on
"West Twenty-eighth street, formerly oc-
. cupied by August Millang. Mr. Millang
Will give all his attention to his new re-
tail interests in Brooklyn.
, J, B. McArdle and his bride were the
center of congratulation at the Florists'
Club banquet. Mr. McArdle, who has had
seven years' experience with one of the
New York seed stores, will make Green-
wich, Conn., his headquarters and launch
his own ship on the business sea in the
line of seeds, bulbs, nursery stock, etc.
W. A. Sperling, of the Stumpp & Wal-
ter Co., is back from a successful western
trip.
< The Growers' Cut Flower Co. will be
in its new store at 109 West Twenty-
eighth street, before Easter. The store
will be one of the best on this, wholesale
street.
Kessler Bros, already have their big
greenhouses at 11 West Twenty-eighth
street covered. The store and green-
houses give them four times the room of
their present quarters. They expect to
be located by April 1.
Percy B. Rigby, of the Pennock-Mee-
han Co., is back from his southern trip.
Herman Warendorff opens his new
store at the corner of Nassau and Lib-
erty streets, in the Wall street district,
April 1. The Forster-Mansfield Co. has a
contract for fixtures amounting to $2,000.
Jas. McManus says he looks for more
orchids to be used this Easter than ever
before.
A. C. Zvolanek is shipping sweet peas
to Phil Kessler.
Hart's store on Madison avenue is
completely renewed since the fire. The
front will be changed, and one large win-
dow substituted. The greenhouse is re-
stocked, new marble fittings installed in
the store, and no evidences of the burn-
out remain. Hession's store, in the same
locality, is one of the landtnarks in this
part of Madison avenue, and with the
Flatbush greenhouses as a basis of sup-
ply there is no decrease in the regular
trade of this house. Further down this
avenue are Nugent, Warendorff, Hanft
Bros., Myer, Hauser, Bunyard and Dards,
so that in comparison even with Broad-
way and Fifth avenue, you perceive Mad-
ison holds its own. •, '

The new greenhouses erected by L. C.
Stroh & Sons are attracting considerable
attention. Among the recent trade vis-
itors are David J. Scott and Wm. Eh-
mann, Jr., of Corfu, and W. E. and
Arthur A. Kirchhoflf, of Pembroke.
The range is up-to-date in every way
and is stocked with several thousand fine
and thrifty carnation plants of the most
popular varieties, which are at present
in the pink of perfection. They also have
cyclamens, freesias and violets that are
certainly grand.
The members of the firm are L. C.
Stroh, W. W. Stroh and Albert L. Stroh ;
they are well trained for their vocation,
and because of their ability are enjoying
a satisfactory business in Batavia and
the surrounding territory. W. W. Stroh
was for several years with Palmer's, of
Buffalo, and is an expert both at grow-
ing and design work. A. A. K.

The Market.
During the last week the market was
firm and prices kept up well, considering
that stock of all kinds is plentiful. The
store men must have had a good week's
business, as the wholesalers say they
bought quite heavily in all lines, espe-
cially white stock. There is not much
social work going on; still, the west end
florists say they had quite a few dinner
decorations and a few small weddings.
The plant men are becoming busy now,
as the fine weather put all hands to work
preparing ground for flower beds and

The wholesale houses during all the
week had plenty of stock of everything
in season, especially carnations and sweet
peas. In these it was a hard matter for
the wholesalers to clean up daily. Roses,
however, sold well, with hardly any waste.
Violets are holding their own, but the
warm weather is having an effect on them
and they are coming in much smaller.
There are "plenty of callas and Harrisii
lilies. Other bulb stock is not so plen-
tiful. Lily of the valley is fine; so, also,
are freesias and Dutch hyacinths. Ferns
are scarce, but other greens, such as as-
paragus, smilax and galax, are plentiful.

MILLEPEDS IN FERN SOIL.
I'lease give me some advice as to how
I can destroy these worms, a sample of
wliich I am sending you. The soil in
whicli ni}' Boston ferns are planted is
just full of the pests. E. P.
The insects in question are millepeds,
which are frequently found in green-
houses. Scientists tell us that these in-
sects commonly feed upon decayed vege-
table matter, but in fern houses they
sometimes attack the young fronds which
are just starting from the crown of the
plant. Fumigating with nicotine paper
will destroy them, though it may need
several applications to clear them out en-
tirelv. W. H. T.

year we are growing more Begonias than ever before, being the
largest Begonia Growers in the world of the above varieties.
This branch of our business has been built up on the quality of
the goods we have delivered to our many customers. We never
lose a Begonia buyer the second year. We establish ourselves so
strongly with him on his first purchase that naturally he falls in
line each succeeding year. We desire that each and every Begonia
grower send us his order, or at least a share of it, for comparison
sake. Don't delay. Orders booked now will be delivered In June.
All plants to be twice shifted and shipped from 2^-inch pots. All
of the very highest quality.
BEGONIA NORWOOD.
We are also disseminating this year the new dark sport of
Begonia Lonsdale, which will positively hold its flowers longer
than any variety known to us. The flowers will die right on the
plant. Plants that flowered as early as October 15th are still in
full bloom. It will be the ideal variety in 4, 5 and 6-inch pots for
fine hamper work.
Prices of these varieties, from 2% -inch pots, twice shifted:
Begonia Norwood, $20.00 per 100; $175.00 per 1000.

Seedsmen consider that they are har-

their lucky stars that they are not in
the nursery business.
Thomas Thyne, the oldest seedsman at
Dundee, Scotland, is dead. He was 75
years of age and had been in the seed
trade sixty-two years.
J. W. Jung, of the J. W. Jung Seed
Co., Randolph, Wis., says business has
been good from the start of the season
and he expects to round up a total three
times as great as in the season of 1910.
Was March 20 big Monday this year
or will it be March 27 ? Last week there
was so much cold weather all over the
country that a good many catalogue
houses think next Monday likely to bring
more mail orders than last Monday
brought.
In consequence of the recent death of
two partners in the well known English
firm of H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley, K.
W. Cannell has been appointed receiver
of the business and has taken possession
of the assets. It is anticipated that the
business will pay all claims in full and
leave a substantial surplus for the part-
ners.
The mail order trade is now on the
down grade, with counter trade heavy in
the warmer sections, but only just begin-
ning in most sections. The catalogues
have brought no unumial response thus
far this year, but favorable weather the
next few weeks will do much to improve
the record. The seed trade hopes for a
long season for garden making.
CABBAGE IN WASHINaTON.
Everything is looking fine in the
Pacific northwest. Writing under date
of March 14, Mr. Leckenby, of the
Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle, said: "Cab-
bage passed through the winter in
good shape and I do not look for any
setback from now on. The only trouble
is that there is a smaller acreage than
usual to harvest in 1911."
CALIFORNIA SEED CEOPS.
L. W. Wheeler, of the Pieters-
Wheeler Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., does
not believe that irreparable damage has
been done to seed crops by the ex-
cessive rains, though all crops must nec-
essarily be late. March 15 he said:
"During the early winter, prior to
January 10, we had no rain and found
it nearly impossible to make the ground
ready for planting. After the rains
finally commenced we received consid-
erably too much in a short period. In
consequence, a large acreage of seed
crops is yet unplanted, which should
have been in before January 1. We
were fortunate enough to complete all
the planting on our own ranch before
the last heavy rain, which has done

THE CALIFORNIA STORM.
Of the storm in the seed growing sec-
tion of California M. W. "Williams, sec-
retary and general manager of the
Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose,
wrote as follows March 16:
"California has experienced a most
severe storm. We have had this sea-
son over twice as much rain as last
year and all of this rainfall came in
two months instead of being spread
through the months of October, No-
vember and December. This, of course,
made an excessive amount of water,
which has flooded many districts. There
is no question but what the onion seed
crops will suffer by this excessive mois-
ture. There will be considerable acre-
age drowned out and that which still
remains will be so thoroughly water-
soaked that a large percentage of
onions will rot. It is impossible at this
writing to tell the exact damage, but
we will be glad to advise you further
as soon as we know definitely some-
thing to report."

181,173 in 1910. Of the 1910 imports
$1,030,218 worth came from the United
States. Freed from duty and under the
stimulus which agriculture in the Do-
minion is likely to receive with the un-
hampered admission to the United States
of farm products, American seeds and
bulbous roots will be in great demand in
the Canadian provinces. The principal
imports in the fiscal year ending March
31, 1910, in this line were: Mangolds
and beet, $44,241; carrots, $9,421; grass
and clover, $855,440 ; other field and gar-
den seeds, $291,613; mustard, $21,761;

SFBING IN HOLLAND.
It has previously been reported in this
column that the Holland bulb growers
were getting along without a winter be-
tween their seasons. Last year there was
practically no winter and again this sea-
son climatic conditions have been such
that there was scarcely any stop to the
growth of vegetation. March opened
with a spring rain that brought the bulbs
to life as if by magic and the last of the
winter covering was whisked away. The
winter season was dry, so that the rains
have done no harm and growth started
considerably earlier than usual. Should
there be no severe late frosts, the bloom-
ing season will be here before April ar-
rives; April 1 is likely to find the bulb
fields in the height of their glory and
Easter most likely will see the greater
part of the flowers at least past their
best.
The bulb growers have been shipping
gladiolus bulbs in greater quantities than
ever before and the close of the season
is likely to find the stocks well cleaned
up.

SOUTH TEXAS THE GAEDEN.
The South Texas Truck Growers' As-
sociation, which does the marketing for
the Bermuda onion growers of the Mis-
sion section as well as for those of the
other parts of south Texas, has issued
a report showing that last season the
acreage of that product in the neighbor-
hood of Mission was 135 acres, which
yielded 61,985 crates. The crop on the
135 acres netted the growers a total of
$73,560.41, or a little more than $541
per acre. On practically all of this
135 acres on which onions were grown,
one or two additional crops of other
*inds were harvested during the year,
thus, according to the association man-
agement, bringing up the net revenue
from the land to more than $650 per
acre per annum. It is claimed that this
record is not exceeded in any agricul-
tural district in the United States.

with it. This makes it stronger and so
it should be applied in smaller quantities.
Commercial Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers, or chemical fer-
tilizers, as they are also called, are used
merely to supply nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium, and so naturally fall into
three groups. Of those bearing nitrogen
there are several of importance in green-
house work. Dried blood, which should
contain fourteen to fifteen per cent of
nitrogen, is insoluble and so must decom-
pose before the nitrogen is available.
This makes a good form both for incor-
porating with the soil and also for a
mulch. I
Sodium nitrate is the only nitrogen salt
that can be used in solution, as all the
other soluble salts of nitrogen become
fixed as soon as they come in contact with
the soil. However, they become available
in a short time. The released sodium
may correct soil acidity or may liberate
calcium, potassium or magnesium from
the soil. Care must be exercised in the
use of sodium, as it deflocculates the soil,
leaving behind the carbonate of soda.
When this happens, the clay soils are
likely to become sour.
Ammonia salts increase the amount of
lime removed from the soil. The sul-
phates and chlorides act as acids and the
soil finally becomes sour. This is partly
caused by molds using the nitrogen and
setting the acids free. As nitrogen can
only be taken into the plant in the form
of the nitrate, these compounds must be
converted into nitrates before being avail-
able. Bacteria play an important part in
this conversion. Ammonium sulphate is
the more useful of the two, owing to its
greater abundance and lower cost.
Phosphorus and Potassium.
Phosphorus may be secured from sev-
eral sources. Steamed bone carries from
twelve to fourteen per cent of phosphorus.
It should be weU steamed and finely
ground. The steaming removes most of
the nitrogen, which is in the form of
fats. The organic structure of the bone
is also destroyed, making it soft and so
reducing it to a finer state of division.
The more finely ground, the larger the
surface exposed to the agencies of decay,
and so the sooner it will give up its phos-
phorus.
Natural rock phoBphate is not readily
enough available for greenhouse crops,
and so should not be used unless mixed in
the compost heap, where it is made avail-
able by the fermentation. When used
in this way, it should be quite efficient
and has the advantage of not being in-
jurious when used in large quantities.
Acid phosjAate, which is the natural
rock treated with acid, is likely to be
corrosive and injure plants unless mixed
with the soil several days before plant-
ing.
All phosphorous fertilizers should be
added to the soU before planting.
Potassium salts in the form of the
sulphates and chlorides may also defloc-
culate the soil. Potassium sulphate is
perhaps the best of the potassium salts
to use. Kainit is a mixture of soluble
salts of potassium, magnesium and so-
dium as it is mined. Considering the
potassium only, it is one-fourth as strong
as commercial potassium sulphate. Wood
ash is another source of potassium, but,
to be of value, it must contain at least
five per cent of potassium. Wood ash
also contains large quantities of lime.
Probably the best forms of commercial
fertilizers for greenhouse work are dried
blood, ammonium sulphate and sodium

The Action of Lime.
To the list of commercial fertilizers
should be added one other, namely, lime.
While this substance adds but little di-
rectly to the nutritive substances of the
soil, it does much to improve the physical
condition of the soil and helps to make
other forms more readily available.
Lime influences the soil under three
different heads. First, it affects its
mechanical condition by causing floccu-
lation, as in the case of heavy soils. The
soil is thus made more open. It also
helps to bind sandy soils. Second, it
affects its chemical composition by rid-
ding it of many acids formed by the de-
cay of organic manure, or, in other words,
keeps it sweet. It renders other plant
foods available. It supplies needed plant
food. Third, it affects its biological con-
ditions by favoring bacterial growth and
affecting insects and fungous growths.
Lime may be used in the form of air-
slaked lime, ground lime, stone and marl.
Air-slaked lime differs little from ground
limestone, except in the fact that it is
separated into smaller particles. Fresh
lime should never be used, on account of
its caustic properties. Ground limestone
is perhaps the best, as it can be applied
in quantity without injury to the plants.
It must always be kept in mind that
commercial fertilizers are so much
stronger than natural manures that great
caution must be observed in their use.
It is hard to realize that an exceedingly
small amount of commercial fertilizer
may be equal in fertilizing value to a
large quantity of natural manure.
With the increasing scarcity of natural
manures, there is no doubt that commer-
cial fertilizers will have to replace them
in part. Experiments being carried on at
the present time will, without doubt, show
that just as good flowers and plants can
be grown with chemical fertilizers, when
supplemented by a small quantity of
natural manufes, as when grown with
natural manures alone. H. B. Dorner.

Co., at present located on West South

You can just as well buy
your Frerfoh bulbs from the*
most reliable source of sup-
ply as not, .jibecause they
don't cost any more money
and they will average better
returns than most bulbs of
various brands on the mar-
ket. The house of Bremond
in OUioules, France, is the
home of the French bulb
industry. The standard of
quality maintained for so
many years is marvelous,
considering the various sea-
sons and conditions at times
to be contended with.
If you knew what care is
taken by Mr. Bremond to
assure his clients of superior
quality, you would never
buy other brands. The
Horseshoe Brand in French
bulbs are Bremond's goods
and are from the choicest
fields in France.

FOBTLAND, ORE.
' ^
THe Market.
Business Conditions 'are about the same
as last reported. Stock is becoming more
plentiful, especially the bulbous varieties,
and there is therefore a slight declinfe in
prices. Daffodils are in bloom in the
yards; they are rather short, but serve
the purpose for table work. Tulips and
hyacinths are the principal potted plants
and move well.
Carnations are in greater volume, but
are not a surplus. Callas and Easter
lilies are about the same. The last few
weeks of sunny, spring weather have
started outside planting quite extensively,
therefore the nurserymen are experienc-
ing an unusually busy season.
St. Patrick's day created a demand,
confined principally to green carnations
and' potted shamrocks, and appropriate
window displays were noticeable on all
sides.
Various Notes.
The Heilig Flower Shop is the latest.
It was recently opened by K. L. Scott
in the Heilig theater building, and al-
though somewhat small, it is quite unique
in appearance and caters to the best class
of trade. J. A. Davis is in charge.
E. E. C.
SAN FEANCISCO.
The Market.
After several months of hard fight-
ing, we have finally been able to get
the weather regulated so as to have
some sunshine instead of nothing but
rain, and we shall probably be able to
do some business in consequence. Flow-
ers of all kinds have shown a decided
tendency to get lower in price and we
can look for further reductions soon all
along the line. Carnations, which have
been held at 3 and 4 cents for the last
month and even longer, can now be had
for about one-half those figures, and
roses are now being offered to the
stores at from 50 cents to 75 cents per
dozen, which is a reduction in about
the same proportion.
Easter lilies, from present indica-
tions, will be in ample supply for some
time to come. They cost the retailers
from $2 to $4 per dozen, Violets are
begging at any price. The street huck-
sters have lowered the price to 5 cents
a bunch, which is cheaper than they
have ever been sold before, even on the
sidewalks. Daffodils, except the later
blooming varieties, are not so plentiful
as they have been and the same can be
said of tulips, snowdrops and freesias.
Wild flowers of many kinds help to
keep up the show and fruit blossoms are
now at the top of their season.
Various Notes.
The next meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society will be held in
Red Men's hall, on the evening of
March 25. This is made necessary be-
cause the spring bulb show will take
place ' on the regular meeting night,
which would be one week later.

TOMATOES TO FOLLOW VIOLETS.
I intend to follow violets with Comet
tomatoes. What temperature, day and
night, suits them best! Should they be
trained to a single stem? I shall ap-
preciate any cultural instructions you
can give me. E. A. P.
Tomatoes make an excellent crop to
follow violets with, and you could have
no better variety than Comet. The vio-
let soil should receive a liberal coating
of rotted cow manure and this should
be well "spaded in. In midwinter toma-
toes need a quite restricted root run,
but it is otherwise now, with lengthen-
ing days and the steadily increasing
heat of the sun. If you have narrow,
old-fashioned houses, train the plants up
the roof. If the houses are wide and
your violets are grown on the ground,
they are best trained upright and to
single stems. Ihey can be set quite
closely; sixteen to eighteen inches apart
each way suffices. Some set them even
closer than this. I prefer to allow
twenty-four inches between the rows
and run the plants rather close in the
rows. They can be supported by .brown
twine strung to overhead galvanized
wires.

Mention I'tie Review wtien you write.
A night temperature as near 62 de-
grees as possible, increasing to 65 de-
grees later, suits tomatoes. If you pre-
fer to grow them without fire heat they
will grow, but will fruit later. They at
all times want a dry atmosphere, the
exact opposite of that for cucumbers.
No artificial pollination will be neces-
sary. Removal of the side laterals must
be attended to every few days and, if
the plants are pinched after setting five
bunches, you are assured of a good crop.
All the attention after this consists in
removing side shoots and giving the
plants a good water supply. When the
plants are heavily set, soakings of liquid
manure once a week will be found bene-
ficial. The day temperature at this sea-
son can run up to 75 degrees with sun;
without sun, 70 degrees is a sufficient
maximum. Later in the season these
temperatures can be increased, of
course. Never keep the house close. A
free circulation of air assists in setting
the fruit and makes the plants more
stocky. Never syringe the plants. For
white fly, gas fumigation is the only
remedy. C. W.

and are wondering whether there is
not something profitable for us to grow
in our houses, in the florists' line, dur-
ing the summer months, when our beds
are idle in the houses. Any pointers
will be appreciated. We are close to
Indianapolis and to three cities of
about 10,000 inhabitants. We are also
in touch with Cincinnati, though a lit-
tle farther away from it. We would
want to sell the product at wholesale.
The houses would be idle about July 1.

healthy plants of the best early varie-
ties. These would have to be pur-
chased, or grown in a separate house
where proper conditions are possible.
This other house would also be needed
to start the lettuce plants in later in
the season, when the mums are nearly
all cut and sold, so as to have fine,
large lettuce plants ready to trans-
plant into the beds as soon as the last
mums are cut.
If you have never grown chrysan-
themums, it would probably be better
to buy the plants in June from one of
the most reliable dealers. Use only
two or three varieties and no culls left
over from what someone has not needed
to fill his own beds. Good, healthy
plants, kept that way, are necessary to
success with mums. H.'G.

The trade is looking forward to a big
gathering of nurserymen at St. Louis in
June.
John A. Peyton, of Louisiana, Mo.,
becomes a partner in the Boonville Nur-
series, Boonville, Mo., April 1.
NoETHWESTERN nurserymen say that
demand never was so good as now, and
that supply never was lighter, relatively
speaking.
The spring season is opening with
every prospect that, given favorable
weather conditions, a banner bu«ines8
will be done.
It is said that George E. Murray, the
nurseryman of Oregon, Mo., has received
2,000 scions of the Delicious apple, to be
grafted on young stock in his orchards.
D. G. WiEGAND Bruss, Boskoop, who is
well known in this country through his
many trips here, now is treasurer of the
Protective Association of Holland Nur-
serymen.
Me. J. Van Leeuwen, proprietor of
the Continental Nurseries, in Franklin,
Mass., has purchased the Slade green-
houses, on Central street, Franklin, from
William Doel, of Pascoag, E. I.
Waltee Barth, formerly gardener on
the estate of Samuel Untermyer, Yonk-
ers, N. y., has bought a farm of 130
acres at Great Barrington, Mass., and
will start in business as the Green Eiver
Nursery Co.
Some idea of the activity this season
in the line of small fruits may perhaps
be gathered from the fact that J. F.
Cathcart & Sons, of Bristol, Ind., recently
received an order from Illinois for 100,-
000 strawberry plants, said to be the
largest order of the kind ever received
by Bristol nurserymen.
When August Eolker & Sons, New
York, were sustained in their protest at
the assessment of duty on Eosa rugosa it
cut their duty from $100 to $2.50, for
the importation in question consisted- of
2,500 plants. Eolker & Sons say their
case was won largely because of the work
le by F. W. Kelsey & Co., whose suc-
Esful p];Q^68t undgr tha.wforniav tau^

COLD STOBAOE.
At the recent meeting of the Ten-
nessee Nurserymen's Association E. C.
Chase, of Huntsville, Ala., talked on
' ' Cold Storage of Nursery Stock. ' ' Mr.
Chase said the practice which they had
found to work most successfully was to
pack the trees in paper-lined boxes and
put them in cold storage, the tempera-
ture of which was kept as near 34 de-
grees as possible. He said that cold
storage should be as good as heeling
out trees. They had found it of the
greatest advantage and recommended
its use to the members of the associa-
tion. Following in discussion, W. P.
Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., said that cold
storage for nursery stock is as neces-
sary as for fruit. It made it possible
to do continuous shipping from October
to May. They had had a considerable
experience and in all cases stock had
come out in good shape. S. W. Crowell,
of Roseacres, Miss., said that with roses
they had found cold storage an im-
portant feature in their work.

EALTIMOBE.
The Market.
The feature of last week was a tre-
mendous glut of all kinds of cut stock.
Boses are abundant, and while good
flowers sell fairly well, large numbers are
sold extremely low and street fakers are
now able to secure an abundance of stock
at their own prices. Killarney and White
Kfllarney are the real leaders.
Carnations are especially numerous and
prices have sunk to a low ebb, although
the quality is exceptionally good. The
southern jonquils have arrived and can
be seen in every nook and corner; one
dealer had 30,000 last Saturday and sold
them at 6 cents per dozen. Violets are
not coming in such large quantities and
vnll soon be over, especially those grown
inside; in fact, some growers have al-
ready taken them out to make room for
Easter stock.
Sweet peas are beginning to wane ; the
stems are exceedingly short and good
stock is hard to get. Harrisii and callas
are both plentiful and lower in price.
Bulbous stock is plentiful indeed, and
only the best can be moved. Miniature
hyacinths are hard to move this season;
some pans with five or six bulbs are sold
for 25 cents. Extra fine single and dou-
ble tulips are to be had in aU shades.
Various Notes.
At the annual election of officers of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club, March 13,
the following were chosen for the ensuing
year: Kobert L. Graham, president;
Wm. Christie, vice-president; M. F. Flit-
ton, secretary ; Geo. Talbott, financial sec-
retary; Fred G. Burger, treasurer, and
Chas. M. Wagner, librarian. After the
election the members went to the Hotel
Baleigh, where an enjoyable banquet was
given. Certificates of merit were
awarded to Wm. Kleinheinz, of Ogontz,
Pa., for a vase of seedling red carna-
tions; to Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro,
Pa., for a vase of red carnations, and
to G. A. Lotze, of Glenburnie, Md., for
a vase of white carnations named John
J. Perry.
On Monday, March 20, E. A. Vincent
entertained the distinguished English
horticulturists and also the members of
the club at his residence at Cowenton.
Fred Bauer, of Govanstown, has do-
nated a handsome silver cup to be used
ad a bowling prize at the S. A. F. con-
vention next August. Q.

Carnations
WHITE HOUSE. The quality white. Won the Silver Cup at Morris-
town for best undisseminated varfety; Bronze Medal at Pittsburg, and five
other certificates. Absolutely non-bursting, clean and kind in growth and a
variety that will make good. We have 10,000 for March delivery and that is
all we wUl be in a position to supply of this variety.
PRINCESS CHARMING. The finest thing in sight in the Enchantress
shade of pink. Every bud a perfect flower and your net returns per square
foot will surprise you.
Our stock is limited, but we are still in a position to supply first-class,
rooted cuttings of both these varieties at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.
Chrysanthemums
We catalogue over 500 varieties and surely we have the kind you want.

Mention The Keview wbeo you write.
What!
No More Split Carnations?
Not if you use Tank's Artificial Calyx.
A sure preventive. Prevention is better
than cure ! So simple that a boy can
put them on and when the bud has
reached a certain stage it is taken off
and put on another.

MentlOD Tbe Review wben vou write
CLEVEItAin).
The Market.
Last week was good, both as to supply
of stock and the demand. Killarney roses
are fine and white roses are not so hard
to get as they have been. American Beau-
ties are still scarce, as are also good
Richmond. Carnations are plentiful, but
move well. Valley and violets are mov-
ing slowly. Bulbous stock is in good de-
mand and there is a fair call for flower-
ing plants. Adiantum continues plentiful
and of good quality. Asparagus plumosus
is not of the black variety we have had
to put up with for several weeks.
Various Notes.
A team of Alliance florists came to
Cleveland March 18 and beat the locals
by a narrow margin. H. P. Knoble
bowled the highest score, making 232.
After the match the Alliance men were
entertained at the Bismarck. The vis-
itors remained in Cleveland over Sunday,
visiting the plants of the Cleveland Cut
Flower Co. and the J. M. Gasser Co.
The Cleveland Florists' Club will hold
a dancing party shortly after Easter.
Ben Feldner, of the Eoseville Pot-
teries, was in town this week.
Several of the Cleveland florists and
their wives leaie for Boston March 24.
March 13 Mfveral of the florists enter-
tained their iadies at the club rooms.
The ladies, forming the Cherry Pickers,
won three games out of four from the
High Rollers, the men, at bowling.
^ J C. D. F.
Worcester, Mass. — At the first spring
show of the Worcester County Horticul-
tural Society, held in Horticultural hall,
numerous prizes were won by H. F. A.
Lange; by L. C. Midgley, of the
"Worcester Conservatories, and by Ed-
ward W, Breed, of Clinton, Mass. Spe-
cial prizes were awarded to Mr. Lange
for valley, roses, potted plants, tulips,
hyacinths and narcissi, and to Mr,
Breed for schizanthus.
Carnation Norwood
This variety has been grown by us for four years and has proven to be the
best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about S}i inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial
variety. Rooted cutting^s (immediate delivery), $10.00 per 100;
$76.00 per 1000.
It will pay every Carnation Grower to plant this variety—
there's money in it.

Pink
Boston Market
PENNSYLVANIA
A seedling of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for the past five years
and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel confident It is one of the b«st
commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
The color ia a shade lighter pink than Lawson; form high built, much like Bost<Hi Market ; stem
long and graceful ; healthy grower ; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker — a pink Boston Market— only much
larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties.
Come and see it growing. I guarantee same to be in perfect health. |6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 per 1000

NEW OBLEANS.
The Market.
The lenten season has its effects upon
the disposal of the regular stock of cut
flowers the retailfers are carrying, as well
as on the great quantities of flowering
plants, such as azaleas, hydrangeas, rho-
dodendrons, spirseas, lilies, etc. The dif-
ferent nurseries growing these plants, as
well as the stores, are more or less over-
stocked and it is doubtful if by Easter
the same beautiful plants as one sees
now can be produced, on account of the
lateness of thfe season and the continued
■warm weather, Although the killing
frost in Januiery did enough damage to
the private garidens all over the city and
in the country t<nvns to justify a big de-
mand for all kinfis of outdoor plants, the
sales up to now have no^ come up to the
expectations of the growers, who have an
enormous and first-class stock on hand.
Iris Hispanica is seen in bloom every-
where and Lilium giganteum and Har-
risii planted outdoors early are showing
acJvanced buds; some of them are begin-
ning to bloom &,nd by Easter thousands
of flowers will be ready to cut. Sweet
peas are not up to the usual standard;
the flowers are good, but the stems are
too short. -Snapdragons grown under
glass are producing good flower spikes,
but outdoor stooji^is entirely too late and
weak in the stem; the first plants of the
latter were killed in January. On ac-
count of th€f»extremely warm and dry
weather, the outdoor, roses, which are, as
a rule, by this time of the year perfect
in flower and Stem, are only fit for cheap
work. Today we have the first rain for
seven weeks and a great deal more is
needed to improve the outdoor vegetation
in general.
Club Meeting.
The New Orleans Horticultural Society
held its regular monthly meeting March
16, at Kolb's Geflnan Tavern. The at-
tendance was fair. P. A. Chopin pre-
sided in the absence of Eichard Eichling,
who was out of town. The meeting was
made interesting through the lecture of
J. A. Newsham, oot local orchid special-
ist, on "Orchids for Commercial Pur-
poses." Mr. Newsham referred to the
large increase in the demand for orchids
in general, especially of other varieties
than cattleyas, all over the country. Of
these he reported a large demand for On-
cidium splendidum, having shipped 1,000
plants to a large grower for the New
York market. The lecturer's son, Dan, is
expected to arrive this week from a two
months' trip through Central America.
Dan Newsham is only 16 years of age
and this is his second successful journey
through the wilds of Central America in
search of commercial orchids.
At the next iieeting, in April, a lecture
will be delivered by P. A. Chopin.
J. A. Newsham exhibited some beauti-
ful clusters of Dendrobium thyrsiflorum
and D. crepidatum. Metairie Ridge Nur-
sery Co. showed a nice collection of well
grown young roses. E. E.

Your Carnatipn Trade Wank ''Dorothy Gordon"
Its Color^ Substance and
Durability Bring You
Customers Who STAY.
Some new carnations look good when they first come out, but fail to
measure up to their promise and the claims of the disseminator.
In this connection, you can profitably remember that Carnation " Dorothy
Gordon" has been tried and proved, and is still making good. Its merits were
well known to us before we advertised a single cutting for sale, and the trade
has had ample time since to get fully acquainted with this variety. As a result
"Dorothy liordon" is making money for more florists this winter than ever.
With its large flowers of uniform flesh pink ; its long, stiff stems and un-
usually fine lasting qualities. " Dorothy Gordon" has won the favor of florists
whose customers demand the best and are ready to pay for it. The flowers

Rooted Cuttings: $6 per 100, $50 per 1000

prattically 50^ more for "Dorothy Gordon." We have ah exceptionally good stock of rooted cuttings— you ought to

After a busy winter's trade in palms, using them for decorating, etc., you're doubtless in nft*»d
of a fresh stock. Then, too, spring is close at hand, and with the warmer days will come new calls
from customers who want palms for use on veranda and lawn during the summer months.
Your cue is to be ready now— to get right on the job with the finest palms you can procure. If
you place your order here, you'll be sure of getting just that kind of stock. First of all, you know we
have the men and the equipment to grow Palms as they should be grown— plenty of room, the right
■ housing and the right care. We grow them from the start and always have hundreds of thousands
of plants coming on, in all sizes. Heacock's Palms are as clean, bright and strong specimens as you
can find an j where.
Customers who buy once, nearly always stay with us and come often. Our Palms are in every
to imported stock— yet cost you no more. We pack carefully ; can ship at very short notice.

(SPORT OF BOSTON)
GROWN BY
a. DREYBR, Elmhurst, Long Island, New York
TpHIS New Fern^ when exhibited at the S. A. F. & O. H. Convention last
* August, received the following description: "Nephrolepis Dreyerii
has many good points which will render it popular. It makes a quick
growth, is compact, of good color, and stands considerable rough treat*
ment, adapting itself to almost any condition. It is of the Scottii type,
but not as stiff, the fronds drooping gracefully, giving the plant a very
attractive appearance."

BUFFALO.
The Market.
Typical March weather has prevailed,
but, much to our surprise, the coldest day
of the winter came last week. The tem-
perature dropped from 45 degrees to zero
in twenty-four . hours. Stock is being
used up to good advantage and with the
exception of bulbous stock there is not
much glut as yet. Bulbous stock, how-
ever, is thinning out, as the bulk of it is
nearly gone. Boses have a good call and
carnations, owing to St. Patrick's day,
were cleaned up. White were much in
demand and brought 4 cents for the best.
The Saturday sales cleaned up the bal-
ance. Last week was the spring opening
week for the stores, and it is reported
to have been a good thing for the florists.
Many flowering plants were used and not
so much of the palm stock, which takes a
lot of work and gives little profit. One
store used 125 azaleas and several other
large plants, all flowering.
Various Notes.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held the first Tuesday in
April. The new oflScers will then be in-
stalled and a large attendance is looked
for.
Several florists visited Buffalo last
week to attend the bowling congress. The
Buffalo boys also took part, but did not
get in the prize money. R. A. S.
WWte Plains, N. Y. — James Davidson,

THE GRANDEST FERN OF THE AGE
NEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT
JUIIEPHROLEPIS ROOSEVELT is a sport from Neplirolepis Bos-
BM toniensis, but a wonderful impro-vement over the parent vari-
ety and others of stiff, upright growing habit, known as Har-
risii or the Harrisii type. It is a stronger maker of fronds and
young plants than any other variety and will produce a larger
finished plant in a six-inch pot than Boston or Harrisii will pro-
duce in a larger size.
The finished fronds of Nephrolepis Roosevelt are at least a
third wider than Boston and have more graceful drooping habit.
The pinnte are distinctly undulated, giving them a beautiful wavy
efTect which attracts the eye instantly. Cut flower dealers will.find
fronds of Roosevelt invaluable for design work. A single plant of
Roosevelt grown in a six-inch pot will when finished almost double
the number of fronds produced by Boston or Harrisii type varieties
and while Boston and Harrisii show stifT, upright growth in a
six-inch, the wide, wavy fronds of Roosevelt droop gracefully
over the pot, hiding it completely from view. Finished tnree-inch
plants of Roosevelt are equally large and more attractive than the
average well-grown four-mch Boston, and growers of Harrisii and
the Harrisii type admit they cannot produce attractive plants of
these varieties in pots smaller than ten-inch. Without an excep-
tion Nephrolepis Roosevelt is the most valuable fern ever offered
for florists' use. It has the vitality to withstand more rough treat-
ment than other varieties and does not revert to the parent type. In our long experience we have never offered the
trade any plant with greater assurance of entire satisfaction and predict Nephrolepis Roosevelt will very soon lead in pop-
ular demand, sweeping from the list Boston, Harrisii and the Harrisii type. We are booking orders for delivery June 1st,
1911, and will fill them in strict rotation as to the date received. Get yours in early; you will not be di8appointe<l
in this fern.

PITTSBURG.
The Market.
Pittsburg bad some weather experiences
last week; the worst was Wednesday
night, when the thermometer fell to zero,
with the strongest wind we have had this
winter, and it kept up all night and gave
the firemen the time of their lives to
keep the heat up in the greenhouses, but
there were no freeze-ups reported.
Koses get more plentiful every day
and carnations and bulb flowers are com-
ing in a rush. Violets are a glut, with
little demand for them.
The retail shops complain that they
have been compelled to place their hope's
on the dead, and there has not been a
great deal doing in that line; however,
things look brighter for April, as there
are quite a few good orders already
booked for large social affairs.
Various Notes.
Harry J. Hamm, of Hamilton avenue,
east end, erected a large conservatory
in the rear of his store, which has a novel
heating system of his father's invention,
which seems to be the cheapest and best
that we have ever seen, Mr. Hamm, Sr.,
is quite a genius in the mechanical line,
and has a number of inventions of his
own, which are all time-savers for men
in the business.
Pittsburg will be well represented at
the National Flower Show, although they
will not all get away together, as they,
usually do. Those already reported are:
Fred Burki, P. S. Eandolph, Paul Ran-
dolph, Stewart Eandolph, E. C. Eeine-
man, Wm. Falconei:, DeForest Ludwig,
George Burki, Samuel McClements, Al-
bert Lorch, J. W. McNeil, John Walker,
of Youngstown, 0. ; Mr. and Mrs. Kiger,
Marietta, O., and others yet to hear from,
Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park,
has on exhibition the finest show of
cinerarias ever seen in this city.
Lincoln I. Neff, who has been known
here in the trade for many years, has the
sympathy of all in the loss of his wife,
Alice Viola Gordon, in her forty-fifth
year, who died suddenly Thursday,
March 16. Burial was from the family
residence, 661 Orchard avenue, Bellevue.

New Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander
New Marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander.
The moat valuable flowering pot plant
\7liich has been offered to the trade
since the introduction of the Lorraine
Begonia.
In this we have unquestionably the most im-
portant flowering plant introduced in recent
years, which, like its predecessors, the French
Marguerite and the later introductions, white
and blush Queen Alexandra, will be grown exten-
sively for cut flowers during the winter, while
its pure white color will make it more valuable
than any as a pot plant for Easter decorations.
Unlike all other Marguerites, its color is of
the purest glistening white throughout; in size it
frequently measures 5 inches across; the center
of the flower is a mass of closely arranged
fringed florets; these are surrounded or edged by
the broad, shining white ray petals, forming a
flower which reminds one forcibly of a glorified
double Pyrethrum. These are produced on long
stems with a freedom not known in other varie-
ties of the Marguerite.
The entire stock of this grand novelty has
been placed in our hands for American distribu-
tion and we are now Looking orders for delivery
the latter part of April or early in May:
Good 2%-in, pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
The above prices are intended for tlie trade only.

The Market.
The florists are experiencing the usual
quiet that precedes the Easter hurly-
burly and all are on a still hunt among
the growers for the best of everything
for the great festival. The report from
a majority of the growers is that every-
thing is coming along promisingly and
that the supply will be sufficient to meet
all demands. Several of the growers are
complaining that bulbs have proven some-
what below the standard, but otherwise
it is believed that the showing will be
equal to that of previous years. Already
a number of large bookings have been
made.
Last week was a normal one for the
season, few large funerals occurring.
There was a shortage of white carnations
the first of the week, the entire market
being practically taken to supply the
green carnations for March 17. These
and small potted shamrocks had enormous
sales. Otherwise the week was simply
fair.
Various Notes.
Gibson Bros, had a large wedding deco-
ration at Newport, March 18.
A movement is on foot to form a hor-
ticultural society at Greystone and a
meeting has been called for Friday even-
ing, March 24, for that purpose,
Samuel Kinder has been reappointed
tree warden of Bristol.
Charles H. Hunt has a large, fine lot
of bulb stock coming along for Easter.
Edward J. Brooks, manager for T. J.
Johnston & Co., was in New York for
several days last week.
A delegation of upwards of fifty flo-
rists and growers from this city and
vicinity are contemplating the trip to the
National Flower Show with the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island.
Joseph Kopelman has just added a new
• delivery wagon to his equipment.
Paul De Nave, orchid grower of Fall
River, was in the city last week with a
fine lot of blooms
William Mackay, lately gardener for
E. T. Gerry at Newport, is now in charge
of the Henry A. C. Taylor estate in that
city.
Alexander Macrae, of F. Macrae &

ness.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

B^The old reliable firm, GODFREY ASCHNANN, is not connected with any other firm and is more active than ever
'; Unexpected business prevents us from exhibiting our stock at the Boston Flower Show, March 25, but we
kindly ask all of our many customers of the past, and now, if possible to come direct to our Establishment, the
Great Factory of Live Stock, a Plant Producmg Mill that Never Closes, and make a personal inspection of our
; ' stock. The Germantown, Chestnut Hill, or Willow Grove trolley, at 13th and 8th and Market, will take you to
West Ontario street and from there walk two squares east.
Prepare for Easter
Keep cool! Don't worry! Don't be downhearted ! Cheer up! Your old, reliable friend of Philadelphia,
Godfrey Aschmarin, thinks of you, takes care of you and provides for you in hard times, in war times, in all
times. His big stotik and his cheap prices of Easter stock will certainly pull you through Easter, 1911.
If you would know the fairest sight your eyes
can ever see,
Where the most perfect plants are grown, to
Ascbmann's come with me.
Why! Ne'er since flowers began to bloom was
such a glorious show
Of all the best that florists need found in one
place to grow.
The lilies are the very best yet seen on Easter
day.
Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect In
every way.
The Araucarias matchless ure, so are the ferns
all green,
With bulbs, and plumed Splraoa, the best you've
ever seen.
And Aschmann gives a challenge, let every florist
hear.
For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear.
If you wish to gather dollars like violets in
tin- spring.
Then send your largest order, his plants the cash
win bring.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many
years past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our
ability.
No joke— we have this year an immense
stock of Lilies— lilies to burn, to
beat the band. Order now
Easter Lilies, LUinm multlflorum, the genuine
Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us.
We have a friend in Japan who looks after our
Interests there. He picks out for us only the
good, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are growing, the lO-in. bulbs, and therefore he
ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to burn; can supply, If
oothing happens, every customer and others
who want lilies. If you see them growing In our
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where
other florists get 15c per bud, we only charge
you lOo per bud, for plants in O-in. pots, having
.">, 8, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plantn
under 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-in. pots; in all
heights, green as grass, good foliage from bottom
v.p.
Spiraea Gladstone for Easter
What is a Home? What is a Store? What is
a Church? What is an Easter present without
baving a few plants of the so much admired and
so greatly in demand Spiraea Gladstone? Oh,
those charming sprays of beautiful pure white
flowers! And the foliage, too, with its waxy,
deep green color is a jewel in itself. Mixed with
beaatiful lilies and other blooming plants it will
complete the flower decorations for yonr happy.
Joyful Easter of 1911. Knowing the great de-
mand for this plant the past Easters, when not
half onr customers could be supplied, we are
well prepared this year for the rush and in
spite of the scarcity last fall In Holland when
other florists' supplies were cut short by Holland
growers, we were fortunate in obtaining enough
of the bulbs to flll two houses and we are able
to supply all incoming orders promptly; 5%, 6
to 7-in. pots, full of buds and flowers, and some
are as big as a wash tub, 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c and
$1.00 each; dozen or more the same.

Greenhouse Heating.
HEATING WITH EXHAUST STEAM.
. We noted that C. F. C, in The Re-
view of March 16, page 82, was asking
for information in regard to the use of
exhaust steam for greenhouse heating.
He wishes to convey the steam, he says,
from an electric light i)lant about 300
feet distant from the greenhouses. In
reply he is told that it is entirely prac-
tical to carry the steam that distance.
Jsow, we manufacture a device, the Tay-
lor Vacuum Trap, which is especially
adapted for use under such circum-
stances. To give you an idea of what
we are doing with exhaust steam in
this city. Battle Creek, Mich., we should
like to refer to just one instance in
which the trap is in successful opera-
tion.
In this case the exhaust steam is
taken from a central power station by
means of an 8-inch underground pipe,
which runs 1,250 feet to a large printing
building, 200x350 feet and two stories
high. The exhaust steam is put in the
system at the power plant end, at about
atmospheric pressure, and is circulated
through 20,000 feet of 1 14 -inch pipe by
the use of the vacuum traps. Two
traps handle this amount of pipe and
the water is delivered back to the boiler
room, 1,200 feet from the printing build-
ing and ten feet higher. The last pipe
coil in the system is 1,500 feet away
from the point where the steam is ad-
mitted to the system, and is 350 feet
away from the traps. We have heated
•this factory, in zero weather, up to the
required temperature, which is 72 de-
grees in some apartments and 80 de-
crees in others. It is necessary to keep
the temperature in the building almost
constant, on account of the quantity of
ink that must be kept warm.

HEAT FOB THBEE HOUSES.
The houses to be heated consist of
one house, 18x100, in carnations; one
house, 18x100, used for chrysanthemums
and sweet peas, and one house, 16x100,
in roses. The houses are four feet to
the gutters and ten feet to the ridge.
They are heated with a 10-section hot
water boiler, with a grate surface 20x
32 inches. The piping is all 2-inch in
the houses. In the carnation house there
are twelve runs of pipe; in the mum>
house, ten runs of pipe, and in the rose
house, eight runs. All the pipe is un-
derneath the side benches, and in the
carnation and mum houses the pipes

HEATING TROUBLES OVERCOME
The exasperating slowness of a hot water system
having a defective circulation is overcome by a
CASTLE
AUTOMATIC
CIRCULATOR
CLThis device positively forces the hot water
through tlie system, no matter how long the
pipe lines or how complic ated the piping.
Cits action does not depend upon temperature,
nor upon additional pressure, which is likely
to cause leakage.
<tlt corrects errors in piping without expensive
alterations. Cold returns are unknown with
this device in operation.

would you recommend for the heating
•of these houses? A. B.
In determining the ca|)acity of a hot
water heater a good deal depends upon
the efficiency of the fire surface, and
without knowing this it is not possible
to tell definitely how much radiation a
.given heater can handle. However, as
the area of the grate is only four and
■one-half square feet, it cannot be rated
higher than 1,500 square feet of radi-
ating surface, and it is probable that

Kroeschell Boiler Better Than Tubular Boilers
or Cast Iron Boilers.
Have used upright boiler, tubular boiler, and cast iron bniler. The Kroeschell Boiler
heats up better and easier tban aor ottier boiler we liave ever tiad anytblD? to do with. It we
ever buy anotlier it will cerialnly bo a Kroeschell. Very truly yours,
^ -. - .;^ -I Pool,k'& Publlant. Washington Court Houje, Ohio.^
Try the Kroeschell first, it's ahead of them all.
I have had eight or tea other types of boilers. The Kroeschell is the best I have ever used.
Your boiler beats the water very quick; almost as fast as steam. .Yours very truly,

1,250 feet would be enough for it, while
the radiation now in the houses is 2,000
square feet. Under these conditions
econoniii-al results should not be ex-
pected.
• An even greater discrepancy is no-
ticeable when the amount of radiation
in the different houses is compared. The
carnation house has fifty per cent more
radiation than the rose house, although
it is only two feet wider, and this dif-
ference in width is more than balanced
by the higher temperature required for
roses.
At the most only eight runs are re-
quired in the carnation house, and seven
would answer for chrysanthemums,
while to carry the rose house at 60 de-
grees at least ten runs of 2-inch pipe
should be used. If the top of the heater
is well belov/ the level of the returns,
fairly good results can be secured by
using three of the 2-inch pipes as flows
in each house, and the others as re-
turns, but it will be even more satisfac-
tory if two 21/^ -inch pipes are used as
flows and five, six and eight 2-inch re-
turns are used respectively in the chrys-
anthemum, carnation and rose houses.

PELARGONIUMS FOB SFBINO.
I have some pansy pelargoniums
which I want to hold for Memorial day
if I can, but they are already in bud.
They are in 4-inch pots and are very
bushy. Can you tell me how I can hold,
them back? L. C.
If the plants are already showing
flower buds, they are rather early for
Memorial day. It would have been bet-
ter to have pinched the plants back a
short time ago. You can grow these
plants cool; in fact, the cooler they are
grown, the better they are. Give them
a cold house; 40 degrees at night is
ample. Pinch back the flowering slioots.
Remove all flowers and give the jilants
a shift into 5-inch pots. This is only
a small shift, but it will tone the plants
up considerably. In the event of the
plants appearing at all late, you could
give them a few degrees more heat
after Easter. Grow them as cool, airy
and light as possible, and be sure to
look out for green aphis. A weekly
fumigation will keep them in check.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Stock last week was plentiful; every
kind of seasonable flower was received in
large quantities. In roses, Killarney is
of the best quality, while some good
Bride, Maid and Richmond are to be seen.
Beauties are still scarce and poor. Car-
nations of all colors and varieties are
plentiful. St. Patrick's day called for a
great many white, but there were enough
to go around. In bulbous stock there is
a good variety of tulips, hyacinths, jon-
quils, daffodils and freesias. Sweet peas
are in excellent shape and sell well. Vio-
lets, valley, orchids and lilacs move rather
slowly.
In pot plants there are azaleas, Easter
lilies, primulas and bulbous stock, and
these find ready sale.
Various Notes.
Ed Temperly, who has been confined
to the liospital for the last two weeks,
has returned to his home in a much im-
proved condition.
G. M. Eeburu, of A. Henderson &
Co., Chicago, spent a day or two in the
city last week, calling on the trade. He
reports the first three months of his firm 's
experience far above expectations and
sees a bright future.
Mrs. E. A. Nelson is seriously ill. Her
condition Sundaj^, March 12, was quite
alarming, but she has since shown some
improvement.
Peter Weiland and Myer Heller, of
New Castle, and Joseph Rolker, of New
York city, were among the visitors last
' week.
Baur & Smith's wagon was damaged
by a collision with a street car one day
last week. In avoiding another wagon,
the Baur & Smith wagon was struck by
the car. Neither the driver nor the horse
was hurt, but the wagon was damaged
considerably.
Charles Pahud has sold his old motor-
cycle and invested in a new one, which
is of six horse-power and will go much
faster than the old one.
A. Wiegand & Sons were quite busy
last week decorating for the numerous
store openings. H. L. W.

FURNISHED in continuous lengths of 500 feet.
An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured
with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton
duck, and with specially ^elected rubber in the inner
tube and cove/. 1
The woven jacket construction makes a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. " This constmction also gives a more
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. '
"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure
of 900 pounds per square inch, although its bursting ,
pressure is far in excess of this.

YONKEES, N. Y.
On Friday, March 17, a regular meet-
ing of the Yonkers Horticultural Society
was held and was largely attended. Va-
rious committees reported. The executive
committee presented a schedule of classes
for the June show, which was adopted
with a few amendments.
W. Ellis was elected as an active mem-
ber and four nominationa for member-
ship were made.
A prize given by W. Macdonald brought
out some fine exhibits, notably carnations
of splendid quality from J. Canning, su-
perintendent for A. Lewishon, of Ards-
ley. receiving iSrst prize. E. Cochrane,
superintendent of the Ewing estate, was
placed second, with blooms of fine quality,
and H. Scott was third, with My Mary-
land roses.
E. Bennett, L. Milliot and G. Feather-
stone acted as judges.
The resignation of Lee Whitman, pres-
ident, Avas read and accepted with regret.
The lure of the great northwest is respon-
sible for Mr. Whitman's resignation. He
received a standing vote of thanks for his
services and innumerable wishes for his
success.
After the completion of business the
evening was given over to sociability.
Songs, stories and refreshments of high
quality all served to make the evening a
most pronounced success. H. M. B.

THE STANDARD PUMP S ENGINE CO.,
USERS OF STANDARD PUMPING ENGINES
Are always ready to say a word of appreciation for
our machines, and many of their good i)oints are empha-
sized in the various letters we receive.
Here are two unsolicited letters which will give you
an idea of what Standard dbrability means to users :

The Market.
Even though we are in the midst of
Lent, biipiness is not by any means at a
standstill. Stock of every description is
quite plentiful and of the best quality.
The last few days have been quite
warm, causing an overabundance of
spring flowers, and it will be hard for
some of the growers to hold back their
azaleas for Easter, unless the thermome-
ter takes a drop and stays down for a
spell.
Various Notes.
The new store at 741 Woodward ave-
nue, to be occupied by the Detroit Floral
Co., will be ready for occupancy about
March 25. Shortly after the spring
planting season the old greenhouses of
the above firm will be torn down. The
store at the old place will be conducted
until "fall.
The Bemb Floral Co., although owned
by a real German, introduced a clever St.
Patrick's day novelty in the form of
golden harps about ten inches high, and
planted at the base in a cork bark recep-
tacle were shamrocks.
Louis Charvat is after the retail busi-
ness in the extreme northeastern part of
the city. On Theodore street, near Mt.
Elliott, he is building three houses, each
20x95, also a small store. The material
for the houses is being furnished by the
J. C. Moninger Co. Work, will be com-
menced this week.
J. F. Sullivan disposed of a large num-
ber of green carnations March 17.
A beautiful modern building, 110x165,
is soon to be erected on the corner of
Broadway and East Grand Eiver, the site
occupied for the last eighteen years by
B. Schroeter. The building is to be a
public market and promises to be a good
thing for Broadway and incidentally the
florists in that vicinity.
Among the Detroit party at Boston
will be Philip Breitmeyer, Harry Breit-
meyer, Robert Rahaley, Chas. Plumb,
Wm. Hielscher, Albert Pochelon and oth-
ers.
M. Bloy is cutting some exceptionally
fine forget-me-nots. H. S. •
The firm of Jqjin Breitmeyer 's Sons
has been reorganized under the same
name. The members now are Philip and
Harry Breitmeyer. Herman Klagge, who
was a member of the old firm, has retired.

Once a dradgerir-
Now a pleasure !
ATI the hard work of watering green-
houses and outdoor flower beds, with
the accompanying wet feet and muddy
clothing, is absolutely eliminated by
the Skinner System of Irrigatipn.
The area one man can water is
limited only by the extent of the
installation.
The water from the special noz-
zles of the- Skinner System comes
out in a fine mist, falls gently on
the plants like a soft rain, without
injuring the most tender foliage
or wasliing away the soil.

illustrated boolclets, including

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
Mabch 23, 1011.
BOCHESTEB.
Tbe Market.
The retail florists have been excep-
tionally busy during the last week. Not
only has the demand for cut flowers
Iteen strong, but the sale of blooming
plajrts, hyacinths, tulips and daffodils
in ^ts has been unusually large.
CAdrnations are plentiful, after several
weeks of extreme scarcity, and the
price has dropped accordingly. Street
sellers have offered stock at. 35 cents,
but retail prices have held at about 50
cents a dozen. Violets meet with a
ready sale at prices ranging from 25
cents to 50 cents a bunch — but there
is a difference in bunches. Hudson river
violets hold at 50 cents. Sweet peas are
the popular flower with the ladies at
present, but good blooms are scarce.
Viewed from all points, the business
of "the week has been most satisfactory,
and the florists and growers are looking
for a continuance of good trade until
after Easter.
VariouB Notes.
John Dunbar, assistant superintend-
ent of parks, is watchingjjWith much in-
terest a collection of spruce and fir
seeds from China, which have recently
been started in the Highland park
greenhouses. The seeds were sent to
Mr. Dunbar by E. H. Wilson, the well-
known explorer sent to China by Har-
vard University.
President G. B. Hart, of the Florists '
Association, has successfully inaugu-
rated a plan whereby the meetings will
be made instructive to the members. At
the February meeting an address was
given on "Plant Selection," and the
March meeting was made particularly
valuable and interesting by W, C.
Barry, of Ellwanger & Barry, who gave
a practical talk on "Koses. "
E. F. E.
Plans have been completed for the
erection of large plant houses at the
South avenue entrance to Highland
park. The execution of the plans has
been placed in charge of William C.
Barry, Superintendent of Parks Laney
and Assistant Superintendent Dunbar.

A splendid, full grown exhibit that will be

you can take away a good bundle of i^^as. .- -

„ ■■"!'
We are very serious about
that exhibit of ours at the
Boston Flower Show
By serious we mean we have made every effort to make it
decidedly worth your while to see it. A display of interest to
you .all.
Our Iron Frame House with both curved eave and side
wifl be there. Also our regular angle eave and iron post con-
struction. That long run under bench ventilation apparatus that
has made such a stir the last year will be set up ready for you to
give it all sorts of tests. Incidentally, it might be well to ''knock''
it good and hard to one of our men in cliarge. It will at least be
interesting to see what a good line of "reason talk" he cad put
up to meet your every knock. He knows what it will do because
of what it has already done.
The Trouble Man and our boilers, that are trouble-proof, will
be on hand, each backing the other up.
Just before you leave, tap some one of us on the shoulder,
and by that sign we will know it is time for our souvenir— not
"some fool thing," but the kind of souvenir you put in your
pocket and carry around for life— that kind of a souvenir.

We purchased of you tbis spring a

Night before last we had a severe

of trouble. We fired the last at 10
p. m., November 24111, and the next
morning at 7 o'clock we looked at
the houses and founditonlyldegree
less than when we fired the last coal, 9 hours ear-
lier. If tbis isn't niagniflcent work and a good
test, we would be pleased to hear from anyone
else that could furnish a better boiler. We know
if parties wishing a boiler would get one from
you they never would try any other. We think
in 6 years' running of this boiler we will have
the prlc«- saved In tli* d flerence in our coal bill.
Wishing you the best of success, we remain.

WHAT THE USERS SAY
Cast Iron Boilers Cause
Freeze-out— Kroeschell
Boilers no Worry.
I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902.
Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass-
would take care of 2000 more. I hare
had a cast iron boiler, but It
broke down twice in four
years, always In the coldest wea-
ther. It broke down Dec. 29, 1904.
and I lost all my stock in con-
8e<|uence. I bare now two No. 2
and one No. 6 Kroeschell Boilers
and do not worry about their break-
ing down.
Grant Newport, Cedar Bapids, Iowa.
The Kroeschell Does Our Work Easier
than Cast Iron Boilers and
Saves 20 to 25% Fuel.
The No. 4 boiler is heating 10.000 sq. ft. of
glass— it would take care of 13,000 sq. ft. easy.
Have no trouble to keep temperature of 50 and
00 degrees in coldest weather. The boiler has
given perfect satisfaction. We had two cast-iron
boilers, one rated for 12(X) ft. of pipe and one
rated for 1500 ft. These boilers never did the
work at their best and when tiie greenhouses
were new. According to our experience with
jours, we will save 20 to 2S per cent of fuel.

Try the Kroeschell First— It's Ahead

I have had eight or ten other types of boilera.
The Kroeschell is the best I have ever

THE NATIONAL x
FLOWER SHOW
x
aaaoaaaK)inoa>nvn39a93ocncn^^
wnB^nooaoccQaQaa*!
A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION.
Greatest Yet Held in America.
After two and one-half years of
preparation, the National Flower Show,
the second held in America and the first
attempt at a comprehensive spring ex-
hibition, is this week scoring a success
even beyond the dreams of those most
sanguine in their expectations. No
flower show ever held on this side of
the Atlantic, spring or autumn, has ap-
proached this exhibition either for size,
for quality, for variety, in arrangement
or in general interest for the public or
the trade — no flower show yet held has
attracted so many trade visitors, or
from' such great distances. The trade
visitors include eleven from England,
dne from Portland, Ore., two from Den-
ver, four from Council Bluffs, la.,
twenty from Chicago, and rapidly in-
creasing numbers from points less dis-
tant. As showing how good news
spreads, many arrivals in the opening
days were so favorably impressed that
they telegraphed to friends at home:
" It 's a great show ; better drop every-
thing and come."
A spring show has many advantages
over an autumn exhibition. At this sea-
son a wonderful variety of material is
available; nothing so overshadows all
else as does the chrysanthemum in No-
vember. A wealth of blooming plants
makes possible a much more pleasing
spectacle. The one disadvantage, though
it does not apply to the public, is that
the trade is in the midst of its busy
season. Many of those who favored the
spring date and who are regular in their
attendance wherever the trade foregath-
ers, when the time came found them-
selves ill able to aflford the time for a
long trip and a show covering eight
days, but those who made the sacrifice
found themselves well repaid, while
those who stayed away can not soon
regain what they have lost — a liberal
education in the progress and develop-
ment of floriculture.
Magnitude of the Exhibition.
Mechanics building, where the show
opened March 25 to continue to April
1, is the largest building in Boston.
With its several halls it has a floor
space measured, not in square feet, but
in acres. To fill this vast edifice was
at first considered difficult, but, with
the entire lower floor occupied by a
business getting exhibition by the al-
lied trades, the main floor has proved
actually too small for the proper dis-
play of the stock. As an instance, W.
A. Manda, who sent from South Orange,
N. J., to Chicago two carloads of plants
for the first National Flower Show, is
at Boston with five carloads of stock!
It seems an incredible quantity, but he
shipped one car by freight, and the
plants he would not intrust to this
method of transportation the express
company was unable to load without
using four cars. From Cromwell, Conn..
A. N. Pierson had over a carload, and
M. H. Walsh and Thomas Roland also
had more plants than could be loaded in
a single car. While some of the groups
are wonderfully effective, there are few
that would not be better for more space.
Boston v/as selected for this show be-
cause it is the one city in all America
that has the stock, in quantity and in
])prfection, for a grand spring show.
held in Boston. In cut flowers those
within reasonable shipping distance did
their part and captured a fair propor-
tion of the prizes.
The Retailers' Exhibits.
While the genistas, the acacias, the
bougainvilleas, the azaleas, the cycla-
mens, the orchids, the Dutch garden,
the Italian garden and many other fea-
tures were notable in the highest de-
Very tmily yours,
Chairman, National Flower Show Committee.
Still one hears the criticism that it is
a Boston show! That, save for two or
three notable exceptions, all the stock
exhibited is local! Of course it is.
Neither the west nor. for that matter,
any other city in the east ever has
produced such blooming plants. It was
to see these things that the show was
gree, a word ghould be said for the Bos-
ton retail florists, several of whom put
up displays that for beauty and interest
were not excelled by any other parts of
the show. Penn, who never misses an
opportunity to call attention to his wed-
ding work, built a booth to represent
the approach to the altar and, with th*

richly attired figures used in dry
goods show windows, had his full wed-
ding party on parade, bride, brides-
maid and flower girls, each carrying the
arrangement appropriate for the occa-
sion. Thomas F. Galvin also made a
beautiful, though less highly colored
picture, with marble lawn furniture in
a skillfully arranged setting of plants
and flowers. Hoffman worked along the
same lines, the excellent taste displayed
in each booth holding a crowd at all
times, showing that in Boston, as in
other cities where the retailers partici-
pate in the flower shows, their work
has a special interest for the public.
The Public Besponds.
The show was opened promptly on
time and with due eclat. The governor
of Massachusetts was there to make a
speech; also the mayor of Boston, and
Chairman F. E. Pierson had primed
himself for one of the flights of elo-
quence at which he is becoming so
adept, as was befitting the occasion.
The Robert Craig Co., which had a
splendi(i lot of seedling crotons, took
the opportunity of naming one of the
showiest varieties for the governor,
which gave the newspapers something
to talk about — and the public poured
in, to go into ecstasies of admiration
and go home to tell their friends of its
wonders. If the crush of the opening
night is repeated a few times during
the run of the show, the guarantors
will not only get their money back,
but they and the S. A. F. will have a
profit, costly as is so great an exhibi-
tion.
SOME SPECIAI. FEATUBES.
Boston "Makes Good."
Boston has for over a year been
laboring strenuously to make good when
the time for the S. A. F. National
Show arrived. Pessimists there were in
plenty who predicted that it would be
a physical impossibility to fill the huge
Mechanics building with exhibits, but
the committee in charge has worked
long and arduously and its labors have
been crowned with a glorious success,
for never before in America has such
a wealth of choice material been
brought together at one time under one
roof. Not only is the main exhibition
hall filled to repletion, but trade ex-
hibits fill the balconies and basement,
this department far surpassing in mag-
nitude all previous conventions.
Very severe weather prevailed March
24 and 25, temperatures of from zero
to 16 degrees above being recorded near
Boston. This seriously inconvenienced
and handicapped exhibitors and some
choice plants were injured, but all these
obstacles were overcome, and when the
time for opening arrived at 8 p. m.,
March 25, practically every exhibit was
in its place and a large proportion of
the classes were judged before the thou-
sands of visitors began to" pour in.
The premium lists will tell the story
of the awards made and reference here
will consequently only be made to some
of those of striking merit, and these
were so numerous .that it is difficult to
single out any individual exhibits, par-
ticularly when all were of such superior
merit.
The general lay-out of the show
showed most excellent taste. It was
an impossibility to see much of the
show at a single glance, as, for instance,
in Horticultural hall, and there were
so many unique features that every
fresh turn opened up additional charm-
ing vistas. The decorations of bunting,
southern smila:^^ etc., took away any
appearance of bareness and, the many
big palms and other folitfge plants
broke any possible monotony.
Pot Plants.^-
Taking the pot plants, the roses were
exhibited in vast quantities, the im-
mense and beautifully arranged groups
of Thomas Roland and M. H. Walsh
being a whole exhibition in themselves.
Mr. Roland 's display was arranged in
the form of v rose garden, with rustic
fences, pergolas, etc, covered with
finely flowered plants of Tausendschon,
Lady Gay, Crimson Rambler and Hia-
watha. Beds of such varieties as Clo-
thilde Soupert, Dorothy Gordon, Denni-
son, a lovely new pink variety, the
glorious new single American Pillar,
with its massive heads of beautiful
flowers, Hiawatha, Electra, white Doro-
thy Perkins ;ind some twenty other va-
rieties formed one of the most beautiful
spring rose displays I had ever seen.
This was a big exhibit for one man,
but Mr. Roland had others of almost
equal magnitude.
Mr. Walsh's plants were entirely
composed of seedlings of his own rais-
ing. These Avere in some cases perfect
specimens eight to nine feet high, and
all were of considerable size and had
sufficient room to show off their indi-
viduality. Especially noteworthy were
Mrs. M. H. Walsh, a beautiful new
double white; Lucille, a charming light
pink; Winona, Maid Marian and Sum-
mer Joy. All these are novelties.
Among the older kinds were: Paradise,
Milky Way, a lovely single white; Min-
nehaha, Lady Gay, Celeste, Delight,
Lady Blanche, Kalmia, of true moun-
tain laurel color, Excelsa and La
Fianima.
Hard-Wooded Plants.
Hard-wooded plants are usually seen
well done at the Boston shows, but
never before were they seen in such
numbers or of such quality as at the
present exhibition. Thomas Roland
richly deserved the special thanks of
the judges, as his superb collection of
ericas, boronias and acacias represented
a heavy sacrifice in money in order to
help make the show a grand success.
He had many beautiful plants of the
graceful Acacia pubescens and about a
dozen other sorts. Then, in ericas^^oth
the small flowered and large, waxy
types were shown in quantity, the
plants being in every case profusely
flowered.
George Page, gardener to Mrs. Fred-
erick Ayer, also put up a grand lot o|f
such acacias as Drummondii, armata,,
pulchella, hybrida, longifolia and het-
erophylla, and splendid specimens of
such ericas as Caflfra, melanthera, ur-
sularis, arborea and Mediterranea.
Knight & Struck, of New York, also
had a charming table of ericas, includ-
ing cupressina, persoluta alba, perso-
luta rosea and Fabriana imbricata. W.
W. Edgar Co. had a splendid lot of
azaleas, including some new ones, such
as Lady Roosevelt, flesh; Star of
Somergem, large white; Rudolf Seidel
and Souvenir de W. W. Edgar, rosy red,
Charles Sander, gardener to Prof. C. S.
Sargent, had a batch of a pretty new
azalea in the way of Amopna. He also
had a beautiful group of clivias and
specimen plants of Erica melanthera.
A. Leuthy & Co. had plants of a new
azalea named A. B, C, a hybrid be-
tween a rhododendron and azalea.
The specimen Chorizema ilicifolium
from William Thatcher, gardener to
Mrs. J. L. Gardner, attracted much no-
tice, being gloriously flowered. Peirce
Bros.' azaleas, lilacs and lilies were
noteworthy, while the huge azaleas
from C. B. Newbold, Jenkintown, Pa.,
were a whole show in themselves.
Orchids, Schizanthus, etc.
Among the orchids, which were shown
in large numbers, in spite of the date
being rather an off one for cattleyas,
were many choice things. In Julius
Roehrs' collections were noted the rare
and beautiful Brasso-cattleyas, Digby-
ana-Warneri, Digbyana-Schroederse, Dig-
byana-gigas, Digbyana-Mendellii, Cat-
tleya Dusseldorfi, Undine, Cypripedium
Maudise, Miltonia Bleuana and others.
E. B. Dane, Donald McKenzie gardener,
had also a grand lot of choice cypripe-
diums, cattleyas and odontoglossums.
J. T. Butterworth had a wonderful

specimen of cattleyas, Thayeriana car-
rying sixty flowers and many other
well grown plants in variety. W." C.
Rust's and Henry Stewart's specimen
dendrobiums were also noteworthy.
Schizanthus from James Marlborough,
J. L. Smith. William Thatcher and
others were splendidly grown, as were
Daniel Whyte's specimen single gera-
niuins. Among H. A. Dreer's exhibits
the ITew double marguerite, Mrs. F.
Sander, and the new cyrtomium, Roch-
fordi, attracted a great deal of notice.
William C. Bust, gardener to Dr. C. G.
Weld, had beautiful groups of cycla-
mens. Primula obconica and bulbous
plants. In the bulb classes also, J. L.
Smith, gardener to A. W. Preston, came
out strongly, as did William Patterson,
William Thatcher and other well known
growers. ,
Roses, .Valley, Gardenias.
Among the newer roses which showed
up to great advantage were F. R. Pier-
son 's new sport from White Killarney,
an immense double pink flower, a little
paler than the original Killarney; Wa-
bau Conservatories' and W. H. Eaiiott's
Mrs. Aaron Ward; Myers & Samtman's
Hilda; Elliott's William Shean, a mam-
moth new pink, with a color, however,
less pleasing than Killarney, and
Elliott's Mrs. A. C. Waddell. A. N.
Pierson showed Red^ Killarney, Prince
de Bulgarie, Lady Cromwell and several
others. The general quality of the
roses was high and competition keen,
especially in the Killarney classes.
Remarkably fine were the exhibits
of lily of the valley and gardenias from
.Tolm McFarland, 'the. lily o.f the val-
ley from J. T. Butterworth and an ex-
tensive lilae display from Elie Ram-
bault, Buena, N. J.
Some of W. A. Manda 's exhibits were
late in getting to the hall. He had
many fine specimen plants. Specially
noteworthy were Kentias Belmoreana
and Forsteriana, Rhapis flabelliformis
and humilis, Cycas circinalis, Licuala
grandis, Cyathea meduUaris, Davallias
Mooreana and Dracaena Victoria.
Italian and Dutch Gardens.
Carbone's Italian garden, with statu-
ary, pergolas and a tasteful arrange-
ment of flowering and foliage plants,
was a pleasing feature. Roland's bou-
gainvilleas and amaryllis, MacMulkin's
group of plants and tl^e Robert Craig
Co. 's collection of crotons in over 100
varieties were aU star features. The
latter included many fine seedlings.
They also had a new pandanus, a sport
from Sanderse, but much prettier and
with more character; also fine cycla-
mens, Ficus pandurata and ferns.
The largest individual exhibit was
the Dutch garden of R. & J. Farquhar
& Co., which included windmills, tea
house, representations of dikes, and
beds containing many thousands of tu-
lips, narcissi, hyacinths, spiraeas, flower,
ing shrubs and a wealth of other mate-
rial. The paths were of gravel and
hundreds of evergreen shrubs were used
to bank up the exhibits. This feature
occupied a space 95x120 and entailed a
great amount of labor in its prepara-
tion. A. N. Pierson had a specially
fine lot of Adiantum Farleyense and
finely flowered rhododendrons, azaleas
and other seasonable stock.
Gardeners' Exhibits.
The National Association of Garden-
ers had a large number of exhibits in
their special classes. William Klein-
heinz, the president of the association,
was the largest exhibitor and worked
hard to have everything in good shape
for the judges. His roses were extra
fine. Some other exhibitors in these
classes included C. B. Newbold, Samuel
Batchelor gardener; John Wanamaker,
John H. Dodds gardener; Henry Siegel,
Thomas Aitchison gardener; W. W. He-
roy, Stamford, Conn., Abraham Wynn
gardener, and Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C.
Rust gardener.
Paul De Nave, of Fall River, the or-
chid specialist, had some extra firle
Cattleya Schroederae and dendrobiums.
Lager & Hurrell's collection also in-
cluded some choice varieties. The big
groups of coniferous plants from the
Eastern Nurseries, W. A. Manda, Bob-
bink & Atkins, Ellwanger & Barry,
Farquhar & Co. and others, were note-
worthy, as were the specimens of
trimmed box from Bobbink & Atkins,
Manda, Sidney Hoffman and others.
Farquhar & Co.'s collection of new
plants from northern China, which re-
ceived a silver medal, included some
valuable additions to our hardy plant
list, such as Clematis montana rubens,
spiraeas, deutzias and many other vari-
eties. John C. Hatcher's new aspara-
gus, Hatcheri, seems lighter and more
graceful than A. plumosus nanus and
was much admired. The mignonette
from William Nicholson was grand, and
William Walke's new pink snapdragon
had a host of admirers. The F. R.

Italian and Dutch Gardens.
Carbone's Italian garden, with st;^tu-
ary, pergolas and a tasteful arrange-
ment of flowering and foliage plants,
was a pleasing feature, lioland's boii-
gainvilleas and amaryllis, MacMulkin 'a
group of plants and the Kobert Craig
< o. 's collection of crotoris in over luii
varieties were all star features. The
latter included many fine seedlings.
They also had a new pandanus, a sport
from Handera', but much prettier aii(i
with Jnore character; also fine cycla-
mens, Ficus pandurata and ferns.
The largest individual exhibit was
the Dutch garden of Ji. & ,T. Farquhar
& Co.. Avhich imduded windmills, tea
lioiis(\ repi'eseiit.at ions of dikes, and
beds containing many thousands of tu
lips, narcissi, hyacinths, sj^ira'as, flower-

rial. The paths were of gravel and
liiiudreds of evergreen slirubs were used
to bank uji the exhibits. This feature
occupied ;i space i>.")xl2() and entailed a
great amount of labor in its prepara-
tion. A. X. Fierson had a specially
tine l(d of Adiantiim Farleyense and
finely flowered rhododendron*, az;ilcas
and other seasonable stock.
Gardeners' Exhibits.
The .National Association of (iardeu-
crs had :i large number of exhibits in
their special classes. William Klein-
heinz. the president of the association,
was the largest exhibitor and worked
hard to have everything in good shape

Mabch 30, 1911.
Pierson Co. 's nephrolepis were superl^Jy
grown; N, elegantissima compacta was
especially good.
^. A. Manda had no less than five
carloads of exhibits and captured as
maiy premiums as anyone in the ex-
hibition. He showed in more classes
than any other exhibitor. The speci-
men Anthurium Andreanum from Mrs.
Lester Leland, Eric "Wetterlow gar-
dener, and William Thatcher's big
Phyllotajnium Lindeni were splendidly
grown. Farquhar's thirty-six cycla-
mens, which took first prize, were mod-
els of cultural skill and a prominent
New York retailer remarked that if
he could procure such plants in that
city they would meet with a*big sale.
Mayor Fitzgerald, in the course of his
remarks at the formal opening in the
Paul Kevere hall, said, "I sometimes
think that the love of flowers comes
down to usirom an ancestral sojourn in
Paradise and is older and more natural
than original sin itself." His Honor
of Boston always has the happy knack
of saying something pleasing to his
audiences. W. N. Craig.
THE TRADE EXHIBITION.
A Conlprehensiye Display.
The trade display in connection with
a flower show was a new feature. The
great size of the hall and the need for
all the revenue that was legitimately to
be had inspired the management to un-
dertake what proved to be second only
to the largest of August convention
showings by the houses seeking patron-
age. While the showing was nearly all
by eastern houses, and some of the
prominent supply dealers, who are in
the midst of their Easter rush, were not
represented, the display on the whole
was comprehensive and much larger
than was expected when the idea of
such an adjunct was first adopted. The
allied trades occupied the entire lowest
floor. None of the western greenhouse
material houses was represented, but
the eastern firms all came in strongly,
there being several with elaborate in-
stallations who have not been seen at
an S. A. F. affair in years. The boiler
men, too, were strongly represented.
The supply houses were put on a bal-
cony, where they had large, light quar-
ters, excellently adapted to their needs.
The plantsmen were placed on the main
floor, along with the general exhibits,
but they were held to the same rules as
the other exhibitors and staged their
stock so attractively that few outside
the trade appreciated that these ex-
hibits had any different character from
the others.
Plants.
Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, did not
make a large display, as at the August
conventions, but showed a number of
specialties, including Cyrtomium Koch-
fordii, Ananas sativus variegatus, and
Marguerite Mrs. F. Sander, all of which
are new. Cibotium Schiedei and Cocos
Weddelliana, the latter in the larger
sizes only, also were shown. The ex-
hibit was in charge of J. J. Karins and
J. Hay.
Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia, had
a trade display that held equal interest
with any of the competitive groups.
Perhaps most notable was a table of
fifty seedling crotons, every one dis-

regular angle eave and iron post con-
struction. The two former showed the
use of the iron sill on a concrete side
wall. The installation showed five dif-
ferent ways of applying the company's
worm gear ventilating machine, spe-
cially illustrating the long-run-under-
bench feature. Wall frames showed de-
tails of bars, gutters and plates in all
styles. A Hitchings 1910 model sec-

Heating Apparatus.
Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, per-
formed the somewhat unusual feat of
carrying 1,100 miles a boiler weighing
1.200 pounds and setting it up in the
trade display. The boiler has a capac-
ity of 48,000 feet of glass. It was
shown fitted with the firm's shaking
and dumping grate and with the
Kroeschell heat generator for putting
the water under pressure. The boiler
was connected up with a demonstration
of the firm 's system of threaded tube
piping that enclosed the booth. Fred
Lautenschlager was in charge. The big
boiler was sold to John Barr, of South
Natick.
American Auxiliary Heating Co., Bos-
ton, which recently took over the busi-
ness of the W. W. Castle Co., showed
two Castle circulators in operation, one
driven by belt and the other connected
directly with the motor by a shaft. The
apparatus has been shown at many S.
A. F. conventions. It is used to force
circulation in hot water heating plants
that for any reason do not have the
desired rapidity of water movement.
J. L. Congdon was in charge, as here-
tofore.
The American Blower Co., Detroit,
had a booth to show the New Detroit
return trap, with G. D. Millspaugh, who
has attended many florists' conventions,
in charge.
The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, had
a space reserved for the display of the
Morehead return steam trap, but the
exhibit was not in place at the hour of
closing this report.
The Johnston Heating Co., New York,
set up one of its large return flue, steel
tubular steam boilers, with a water
heater used for forced circulation of
hot water. This is comparatively new.
The heater takes live steam from the
boiler and passes it around a set of coils
that contain the water, which is then
sent through the coils by a pump. J.
F. Johnston was in charge.
Wm. Moll, Cleveland, showed the
Ideal steam trap, the Ideal pipe clamp
and the Bate evaporator for insecti-
cides. The display was in charge of
T. W. Moll and Guy Bate.
The U. S. Radiator Co., Boston, ex-
hibited the Furman boiler, manufac-
tured by one of the constituent com-
panies, the Herendeen Mfg. Co., Ge-
neva, N. Y. Three sizes of the sectional
boiler were shown, of 5,050, 7,025 and
11,150 feet capacity, respectively; also
a round boiler of 2,525 feet capacity.
John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, west-
ern representatives. The Rumsey pumps
were shown.
Miscellaneous Exhibits.
The Revere Rubber Co., Boston and
half a dozen other cities, made an elab-
orate display of well-known brand of
florists' hose. Rubber hose is a prosaic
article, but that it still is possible to
display it attractively the Revere people
showed in their booth, a pergola en-
tirely of hose. G. P. Whitmore was in
charge.
The Boston Belting Co., Boston, had
a booth in which were shown, in a pyra-
mid of reels, over 9,000 feet of a new
special florists' hose the company is
getting out. Mr.- Smith was in charge.
The Electric Hose and Rubber Co.,
Wilmington, Del , showed Electric bose
and old-fashioned hose with water flow-
ing through them. The latter leaked.
C. W. Brownell Co., Walden, N. Y.,
had a display that was distinctly dif-
ferent from any other. The company
claims to supply ninety per cent of ail
The osmunda fern fiber used by the or-
chid growers of the United States, and
the display included four different
kinds; also orchid peat and leaf-njold.
The booth was in charge of R. C. Brow-
nell.
ThR Boston Plate & Window Glass
Co. had an attractive booth showing
window glass for growers and plate
mirrors for retail stores.

TitE CABNAXIONS.
Largest Showing Yet Mijle.
The 4^merio#n Carnation Society 4;ame
to the front the fourth day of the
show with the largest display of blooms
in its history. The secretary had nearly
300 entries as against less tlmji 200 at
Pittsburg, where the previous high
water mark was set last year. * Several
exhibits from the. Pennsylvania carna-
tion belt and westward failed to arrive,
because of the heavy storm that in-
terrupted travel. The quality of nearly
all the stock was of the highest order,
but there were some soft flowers and
those that had come from the west
were not in a condition to. compete.
Aside from the rivalry for premiums,
of course the greatest interest cen-
tered in the novelties. Nothing sensa-
tional was disclosed. The judges did
not award the society's gold medal and
gave both the silver and bronze to
variegated sorts. M. A. Patten had
the two leading varieties, Mrs. C. Wj
Barron, variegated, and Genevieve^^v^^
White, winner of the S. A. F. silver ]
medal. Other new sorts of some prom- '
ise included Pink Supreme, blush pink,
from ^. H. Leach & Son; Benora, varie-
gated, from Peter Fisher; Mrs. B. P.
Cheney, variegated, from John Barr;
Howard Gould, pink, from Cottage Gar-
dens; Rainbow, variegated, and Sul-
tana, crimson, from Wanoka Green-
houses; William Eccles, red, from Scott
Bros.; White Winsor, from H. F. Ljttle-
field, Worcester, Mass.; pink sport of
Winsor, from W. D. Howard; Dimple
Weidener, from Wm. Kleinheinz, and
Dorothy Dempster, white, from Robert
Main, Gloversville, N. Y. From George
Saltford, Poughkeepsie, came Vassar,
another fine variegated, but it had heat-
ed in transit.
The new varieties being sent out this
year were not conspicuous. Bonfire was
shown by Hill. The Chicago Carnation ^
Co. put up Washington, not for compe-
tition. Dorner showed White Wonder
and Gloriosa, and Zweiful staged
Bright Spot. C. H. Totty showed cut "
bloMhs and a strong potted plant of
Wodenethe. Under number came a

THE ROSES.
Rose Society's Part Well Done.
Of the special flower societies cooper-
ating with the S. A. F. in the National
Flower Show it fell to the American
Rose Society to set the pace for the
others, the roses being put on for an
opening attraction. If v/eather condi-
tions interfered with the plantsmen, the
crop conditions were in favor of the
cut flower men, for they had plenty of
htock and staged it in far greater quan-
tity than at any previous show in the
history of the society. The display
was in charge of Eber Holmes and was
ably handled. The exhibits were not
' 'ii.' nu'nerous. but were of extremely
fine quality. The classes for Killarney
and White Killarney, of course, brought
out the keenest competition, there being
nine entries in the former and six in
the latter. Scarce as Beauties have
been, there were five entries and it was
H feather in the cap of Bassett &
Washburn that their flowers, after hav-
ing traveled 1,100 miles and been for-
ty-eight hours in the box, should have
taken second prize. Poehlmann Bros.
Co. was second for White Killarney.
These two were the only western ex-
hibitors of roses.
Of special interest were the new
roses, and they also were unusually
numerous, although some of them, like
Hill's Rose Queen and Totty 's Hilling-
don, v/ere conspicuous by their absence,
their owners using every bit of avail-
able wood for propagating. Most nu-
merous were the sports of Killarney
and White Killarney. These were
shown by Robert Scott & Son, S. J.
Renter & Son, A. N. Pierson, F. R. Pier-
son Co., Waban Rose Conservatories^
and others. In practically every case
they show an increase in the number of
petals and added size of flower and
vigor of growth. A. N. Pierson put up
Prince de Bulgarie and Robert Scott &
Son had Melody as a center of attrac-
tion for the growers looking for roses
of a new color. Myers & Samtman
showed a fine vase of Hilda, the deeper
l)ink sport of Marjiand, and there were
several others that will be heard from
at a later date.
The rose plants were an even greater
feature than the cut roses. No such
displaj-s as those of Thomas Roland
and M. H. Walsh have ever been seen
in America. Walsh's plants were some
of them nine feet high and literally
smothered in bloom. He showed many
• iM- or his oVn raising, but prob-
ably the best of them was Mrs. M. H.
Walsh, double white with dark, lustrous
green foliage; it gives every promise
of taking a leading place among the
ramblers. Mr. Roland staged his
plants as a rose garden, with a pergola,
M
The Weekly Florists' Review/
Mahch 80, 1911.
and the beautifully flowered stock also
clambering on walls and over fences.
The arrangement, in its way, showed
as high an order of skill as did the con-
dition of the stock. These two ex-
hibits would have been a sensational
feature in any show less stupendous.

SWEET PEAS.
The National Sweet Pea Society put '
on an exhibition at Boston, March 28,
that for number and quality of blooms
was one of the surprises of the national
exhibition. Of cut blooms there were
only three exhibitors, but William Sim,
of Cliftondale, Mass., put up no less
than 13,000 flowers in more than a dozen
varieties and including the whole
range of colors. His flowers were all
on stems fifteen inches long and created
a sensation. Less extensive, but hardly
less interesting, was the display of the
Halifax Gardens Co. Anton Zvolanek
also staged a large number of winter
flowering varieties, including ipany
new ones.
The judges were J. 8. Brunton, Wm.
Duckham and C. H. Totty. They
awarded to Mr. Sim eight first pre-
miums for vases of 100 and seven
firsts for vases of fifty of the separate'
colors. Mr. Zvolanek was first for

NATIONAL SHOW MANAGEMENT.
The second National Flower Sirow
was pro.iected on, the heels of the' suc-
cessful initial undertaking of this char-
acter, at Chicago, in November of 1908.-
The Society of American Florists, at
its convention at Cincinnati the Jollojv-
ing August, authorized the second apd
larger exhibition, and for the purpose
of organization for work jv committee
was appointed, consisting of F. R. Pier-
son, Tarrytown, N. Y., chairman; Wm.
J. Stewart, Boston; F. H. Traendly,
New York; Eobert Craig, Philadelphia;
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston; E. A.
Stroud, Overbrook, Pa. This commit-
tee raised a guarantee fund of $10,050,
with 110 subscribers, and at the same
time appointed a committee, consisting
of F. R. Pierson, W. .\. Manda. Eobert
Craig, Thomas Roland, Robert Cameron
and J. K. M. L. Farquhar, to prepare a
schedule for a spring show. As soon as
it was decided that Boston was the
most available city for such an exhibi-
tion, a local board of control was ap-
pointed, consisting of F. R. Pierson,
.T. K. M. L. Farquhar, E. Allan Peirco,
Thomas Roland and Patrick Welch. It
was upon the latter committee that the
greater part of the work fell. The com-
mittees decided to hold a trade display
in connection with the show and placed
this feature, and the general manage-
ment of the exhibition, in the hands of
Chester T. Campbell. James Wheeler
was charged with staging the show and
did his work well.
While the S. A. F. has organized the
show, it has had the v.hole-hearted co
»*operation ,of. alhttjie special flower and
allied.: soc]^t'es,>injcluding the American
Rose TSociety, <>-Am'ericain Carnation So-
(•i&ty,vSw(Bet , Bea Soffety of America,
American.iGladiolus Society and Na-
tional Association of. Gardeners; also
the Chrysanthemum Society of America
>a.pd the Retail Florists' Delivery Asso-
ciation. " •
LOCAL HOSPITALITIES.
.The. hospitalitvr-of .the Boston florists
is proverbial, but on the' present occa-
sion the Gardeners' and. Florists' Club
outdid itsfelf in the matter of providing
pleasures for the. trade visitors. The
big event of the week was t\\v recep-
tion and dance in Paul Revere hall,
where one of the leading local caterers
served to many hundreds of florists,
gardeners and their ladies.
Tuesday afternoon, March 28, all the
visiting ladies were taken for an auto
trip through the parks of Boston.
Wednesday afternoon a theater party
was given for them at the Boston thea-
ter. Thursday, March 30, there will be
a trip to Concord, stopping at the dif-
ferent historical points of interest along
the way. Nothing could be of more
interest in a historical way than trav-
eling over this line of Paul Revere 's
ride with all the Revolutionary history
in connection therewith. Luncheon will
be served.
In addition to the program of local
hospitalities, the Ladies' S. A. F. held a
business meeting March 25 and arranged
their week's program as follows: Auto

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
New Officers.
President — A. Farenwald, Hillside,
Pa.
Vice-president — Philip Breitineyer,
Detroit.
Secretary — Benj. Hammond, Fishkill,
N. Y. ■•■
Treasurer — Harrv O. Mav, Summit,
N. J.
Executive committee— 7Eber Holmes,
to succeed Philip Breitmeyer; W. K.
Pierson, to succeed himself.
The American Rose Societj' held three
sessions at Boston this week and had
as successful a meeting as ever has
been held by this compact body of en-
thusiasts. At th(» openipji; President
Mr. Elliott said that the present low
pr'ce of glass might not be an unmixed
good; he thought it responsible for the
present season's enormous expansion in
greenhouse area, which he said may be
as great as in all the last five years,
resulting in too sudden an increase in
the supply and consequent demoraliza-
tion of the cut flower market. He
thought a different duty on imported
glass might lead to more stable prices
and minimize such danger. This led
to a long discussion in which some
twenty or more leading growers gave
their views. Few saw any great danger
of overproduction and several tliought
the present low price of glass a great
gain, but many, and these included
those who Lought before the glass mar-
ket struck its present low level, thought
George Asmus.
(President Society of AmerlcaQ Florists.)
Elliott read an address which reviewed
the development of the rose and the
growth of the society. He recom
mended the extension of the work
among amateurs, the holding of future
exhibitions under the guarantee plan to
assure financif^^ success, the general
trial of all the new roses now being
exploited, the appointment of a com-
mittee to deal with the tariff on glass,
and another to consider recommending
the adoption of standard grades for cut
roses based on the length of stem. AH
the recommendations were concurred in.
In referring to the tariff on glass,
that more stable prices would be an ad-
vantage. The consensus of opinion was
that the tariff has less influence on the
price of glass than trade agreements
and trade conflicts, and that florists
have little influence on the tariff in any
e^nt. Nevertheless, a committee con-
sisting of Robert Simpson, Fred Burki
and Benj. Hammond was appointed to
look into the possibilities of the sub-
ject.
As to designating the grades of roses
by the inches of stem, it was the unani-
mous opinion that uniform grades to
be recognized over the whole country
are highly desirable, but there was
some difference of opinion as to whether
merely designating the length of stem
would accomplish the result desired; it
was pointed out that other factors fre-
quently determine the grade. A com-
mittee consisting of C. E. Meehan, H.
0. May, Eber Holmes, Fred Burki, Aug-
ust Poehlmann, W. F. Kasting, W. F.
Gude, W. R. Pierson, Philip Breitmeyer
and Otto Koenig was appointed to
bring a recommendation. At a later
session Chairman Meehan reported
recommending the adoption of a stan-
dard scale for grading in accordance
with the length of stem, as follows: 6,
9, 12, 15, 18, 24-inch and higher as
necessary. The committee reported its
belief that the general use of such
designation in place of the present
names for grades will be a great help
to the whole trade. The report was
adopted.
Treasurer H. 0. May made a financial
report as follows:
Receipts |7,665.0O
Disbursements 7,277.01
Balance $ 487.99
Sixty-one life members have con-
tributed a permanent fund of $3,050.
Secretary Hammond in his report told
of the effort to reach the amateur rose
growers and urged the extension of the
effort. A committee consisting of S. S.
Butterfield, Robert Simpson and Benj.
Hammond was appointed to consider
ways and means.
■ At the second session AugusV Poehl-
mann, Chicago, read a short paper,
"The Development of a Large Rose
Growing Establishment," and answered
numerous questions, stating in reply to
one that his firm now employs about
265 men. W. R. Pierson read an excep-
tionally well written and meaty paper,
"The Science of Rose Growing," and
both essayists received votes of thanks.
W. E. Wallace, of Dunstable, England,
contrasted conditions and methods -*in
England and America and was listened
to with much interest.
The closing session was for the ama-
teur section, for which papers had been
prepared by R. Vincent, Jr., Rev. S. S.
Sulliger and W. G. MacKendriek.
■ On the selection of place of next
meeting,, a vote was taken in favor of
Detroit, but the executive committee
was given power to fix date and place,
it being the view that a joint meeting
with the Carnation Society is desirable.
AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
Officers Elected.
President — J. A. Valentine, Denver.
Vice-president — Philip Breitmeyer,
Detroit.
Secretary — A. F. J. Baur, Indian-
apolis.
Treasurer — Fred Dorner, La Fayette,
Ind.
Director — Eugene Dailledouze, Flat-
bush, N. Y.
The directors of the American Carna-
tion Society appreciated that there
would be too much going on to permit
the reading of long essays and cut its
program to mere business meetings. The.
address of President Burki reccrm-
mended consideration of a change in
the scale of points for judging that will
tend to encourage the develaiMNiiLt of
fragrance and keeping quality. Secre-
tary Baur reported a net gain of
twenty-eight members during the year
and Treasurer Dorner reported $2,475.35

cash or investments. The nomenclature
committee reported the registration of
sixteen seedlings and three sports
during the year, also that the variety
Viola Sinclair had been debarred from
competition at this exhibition because
it is not registered with the society.
The resignation of W. N. Kudd was
accepted with regret and C. W. John-
eon was nominated to fill the unexpired
term, E. A. Stroud and Wm. Nicholson
being nominated to succeed themselves.
Philip Breitmeyer invited the society
to hold its next meeting at Detroit and
urged that a joint date with the Eose
Society be selected. After some dis-
cussion of the advantages and disad-
vantages of such a combined exhibition,
the directors were instructed to confer
with the executive committee of the
Eose Society, to see what can be done.
At the opening session there was
present J. S. Brunton, chairman of the
Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society
of England, also C. Engelmann and
W. E. Wallace, leading carnation grow-
ers in England, each of whom mad^^n

SWEET PEA SOCIETY.
The National Sweet Pea Society
held a meeting at Boston, March 29,
presided over bj' W. Atlee Burpee.
Prof. A. C. Beal and Prof. John Craig
reported on the society's trials of
sweet peas at Cornell and papers were
presented as follows: "Growing Sweet
Peas Under Glass," by William Sim;
"Latest Novelties in Sweet Peas," by
G. W. Kerr.
TELEQBAPH DELIVERY.
The Florists' Telegraph Delivery As-
Kociation held two sessions and made
progress toward completing organiza-
tion. H. B. Dorner resigned as secre-
tary, because of pressure of other
work, and Irwin Bertermann, of In-
dianapolis, was elected in his place. A
committee consisting of J. A. Valen-
tine, W. L. Eock, Irwin Bertermann,
F. E. Palmer and W. J. Smyth was
appointed to formulate certain changes
in the by-laws, to simplify the guaran-
tee fund feature and prepare a plan to
put the association into active opera-
tion. A paper on credits was read by

PRESIDENT BURKI'S ADDRESS.
[Delivered before the American Carnation
Society, In convention at Boston, Marcli 25 to
April 1, 1011.]
I wish most heartily to express my
appreciation of the work done by the
members who have worked so faith-
fully for the success of this meeting
and exhibition, and we jointly also
should show our appreciation of the
untiring efforts of our worthy vice-
president, Mr. Peirce, and our able
secretary, Mr. Baur.
Boston, the recognized center of
horticulture, has acted as our host sev-
eral times before. It is a pleasure to
have the privilege of being here again,
and I trust this meeting will be the
best and most successful convention
that we have ever had. The premiums
offered at this convention are more
liberal than at any of our former ex-
hibitions; this is on account of our
joining with this great flower show.
There are but few recommendations
that I have to offer, as the ground has
been well covered by our former presi
dent.
The most important matter that I
wish you to consider is this: The so-
ciety's scale of points for judging our
exhibits. I especially refer to the
seedlings or coming new varieties. It
appears that we must rely on getting
new varieties to take the place of those
which we term standards, now grown.
These seem to lose vigor in a few years
under our present-day treatment. If
we are going to keep up the popularity
of the carnation, we must give more
consideration to the keeping qualities,
which, to my understanding, would
mean substance. For fragrance we
only allow five points, just as if it did
not count at all. Should we not re-
quire fifteen points each for color, size,
substance and fragrance, ten points
each for calyx and form, and twenty
points for stem, making a total of 100
points! This scale, to my judgment,
would be more uniform than the per-
centage on which our judging has here-
tofore been made.
I recommend the appointment of a
committee to take up the matter of
judging, and to consider the scale of
points on the percentage which I have
just mentioned. ,
Is it not true that the carnation was
made by the people the popular flower
on account of its fragrance, keeping
quality and reasonable price as com-
pared with the rose?
I may add that some of our most
prominent retailers care to handle but
few carnations. In fact, they say that
they would rather not handle them at
all, on account of the many complaints
they receive, to the effect that the
carnation blooms which they sold to
their customers had gone to sleep on
the day they were purchased. We
should give this matter our serious con-
sideration, for the buyer of carnation
blooms has a right to expect both fra-
grance and keeping qualities in them.
It is too bad that we have been get-
ting away from this in most of our
present-day varieties.
Now that we have a Carnation So-
ciety button, we want to carry out the

PRESIDENT ELLIOfTT'S ADDRESS.
[Dellverod beforo the American Rose Society,
In convention at Boston, March 25 to April 1,
1011. J
The floral qijeen has called her subjects
to convene in Boston once more. This is
our twelfth /annual convention and the
third that has, Seen held in this city. I
am glad., to welcome the American Rose
Society, and all Ipvers of the. rose, to Bos-
ton at this time. This mfeeting is under
diflferent conditions from any under which
we have ever met before. We hope this
will prove satisfactory to all who are at-
tending and joining in the great work
that Me are here carrying on. It is a
great thing to get together in this way
and show the people what floriculture
really means at the present time.
This is certainly a great exhibition.
We have admired its beauties and tiie en-
terprise of the producers of the various
lines exhibited here. Tlie .carnation, the
orchid and the violet are contending for
an advanced position, but nc(,raatter how
strenuously the devotees of these various
flowers may push forward their carna-
tions,''orchids or Dutch bulbs, we can feel
assured that the rose will always lead, ai
commercial floric\j^Jture, was born here, but
for what we have done in «all lines of hor-
ticulture, and X think we can safely say
that Boston still leads in the line of orna-
mental horticulture.
The progress of ,our society has not al-
ways been satisfactory in regard to mem-
bership and finance. Our membership
seems small when we read of the great
Amateur Rose Society of England. It is
a question as to how any society which is
partly amateur and partly commercial can
succeed along both lines. As far as I
know, those societies making the great
success across the water are purely ama-
teur. We have always endeavored to de-
velop the amateur side of our society, as
well as the commercial. I hope that our
amateur rose meeting here may be the be-
ginning of an advancement of that
branch of our society. I have found that/
the commercial rose grower always take^
more interest in the amateur side of oi
society as he becomes more familiar with
its general work and the aim and object
of our society.
Future Exhibitions.
From a commercial standpoint our ex-
hibitions in the past have been highly
successful. The attendance and the gen-
oral financial results have not always been
so satisfactory. Our present exhibition is
the first that we have ever had / under
these conditions, in connection with the
other societies. In the future I' should

it has from the first, and Boston can feel ^
proud whefl she remembers that forty
years ago the commercial flower business
was here born. The mother of that busi-
ness was the old Bon Silene, which stands
proudly in our exhibition today and can
feel proud, not only of her history, but of
the fact that she pays just as well today
as any of the newer and larger varieties.
We are proud of ou/ city; no*t because
mt
recommend that exhibitions be held under
the guarantee plan, as is being done with
this show. There are enough rose grow-
ers to put up a guarantee fund to finance
the exhibition in some leading city where
admission could be charged to the public
and the society be in a position to pay its
way. With the success of our national
exhibitions, a guarantee fund could be
produced without any trouble. I believe
exhibitions tliat would interest the ama-
teur and the commercial rose grower could
be made to pay.
Never before has there been such a
large number of new varieties of roses
offered for our trial. All these narieties
should be tried out thoroughly, but one
grower cannot undertake to try out the
whole number. He will select those that
look best to him, and labor with those
with the usual uncertain success. Let us
hope, however, that these wonders of
beauty and productiveness will largely in-
crease the profits to all experimenters.
The /Careful, arduous work that hybridiz-
ers/have done for us certainly deserves
oUr support.
/ Greenhouse Building.
Greenhouse building has gone ahead at
the usual rate. Some new places of great
promise have been added to our list and
many additions made to the old. There
seems to be no lack of enterprise among
the growers in this line of work. What is
going to be the effect and what will be
the outcome of this low price of glass?
It looks as if there would be as much
greenhouse building done in the next year
as has been done in the last five years.
This increase of glass will bring a very
large immediate increase of stock. What
the effect of this production on the prices
will be we do not know, but there seems
to be some danger that the low price of
glass may do us more harm than good.
Is our supply really nearing our demand?
Can we go ahead with safety with such
a tremendous amount of building? It
seems a question that should^^^e con-
sidered at the present time.
Now is the time for our society, and
kindred societies, to use their influence in
regard to tariff rates. The tariff on glass
has always been an unreasonable burden
on the greenhouse men. The great varia-
tions in the prices during the last year
have been such as to upset the glass busi-
ness and the greenhouse business Jft well.
Beforo our convention closes I should like
to see a committee appointed to take up
the matter of influencing Congress on this
subject. Do not think that, because the
price of glass is low at the present time,
it is going to remain so.
Standard Grading of Roses.
A good many years ago, soon after the
Society of American Florists was started,
they took up the matter of standard pots
and they settled it in such a satisfactory
manner that no trouble has developed on
that score since. A standard length or
grade of "tut flowers, with n|mes that
would have some definite metming that
could be understood by all, would be of a
great deal more benefit to the trade than
standard measurement of pots has ever
been.
It seems strange, when the matter
would be so simple, that no standard of
grading or naming of the different grades
of roses has ever been adopted. When
one goes to New York they inquire what
No. 1 se^Us for in Boston and what we get
for fancies. It is just as clear as mud to
the Boston grower. Why should roses be
called firsts, seconds and thirds, A, B, C,
fancies or extras, when it is just as easy
to call them by their right names, so that
everybody would understand? "We have
a nomenclature committee on roses and
that sort of thing, yet we have no system
of naming the different grades of roses
under which any florist can send to an-
other city and have any definite idea of
what he will receive. The names of these
different grades refer only to the length
Mahch 30, lOti^
The Weekly Florists' Revi^wi*
of stem, no two cities using the same
names for the different grades, and in
the same cities hardly any two grading
the same way. One florist 's No. 2 may
be longer than the other florist's No. 1.
It certainly is no more trouble, in or-
dering roses, to mention 15-inch Killarney
than it is to say "special Killarney,"
and it would be much more simple and
systematic to write such orders. Why
could we not call these roses by the
length of the stem, 9-inch, 12-inch, 15-
inch, 18-inch, 21-inch, 24-inch and so
on, that anyone can understand and that
anyone may use, and can also tell if he
receives what he has ordered? I have
used this kind of system for the last two
years and it has proved quite satisfac-
tory, r should like to have a committee
appointed to take up this matter.
SECRETAEY BAUR'S REPORT.
[Read before the American Carnction Society,
In couveution at Boston, March 25 to April 1,
1011.]
The year 1910 may well be considered
a successful one for the American Car-
nation Society. The membership has
made its usual slight gain. During the
year 1910 we added fifty-seven new
names, and against these we have
twenty-eight on the delinquent list.
Sixteen new names have been added
since the first of this year. We now
have -344 members in good standing.
Five deaths were reported during the
year, namely: Lyman B. Craw, of New
York; Mrs. W. J. Vesey, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., who died April 8; W. E. Hall, of
Clyde, O., who died May 3; Anthony
Wiegand, of Indianapolis, Ind., who
died December 19; Fred Dorner, of La
Fayette, Ind., who died December 29.
*xor the funeral of Mr. Dorner, who
was one of our early presidents, we
ordered a wreath of carnations, costing
$15, after having first secured the .sanc-
tion of the president. Nine members
of the A. C. S. attended the funeral
services, which were held January 3,
Complying with instructions given by
the last convention, we have had de-
signed a permanent button. The design
having been approved by the board of
directors, we had 150 of them made,
and we are pleased to state that most
of them have been sold among our
members. They were sold at a slight
profit to the society, a wide distribution
being more desired than a profit.
The premium schedule for this ex-
hibition was gotten out in due time.
We were able to secure slightly more
advertising matter than was carried by
last year 's list, the amount being exact-
ly thirty pages, amounting to $300.
The cost of printing the schedule ran
slightly over $100 and we have de-
ferred payment until this meeting ap-
proves the account.
This transaction is a violation of
Section 6 of Article 2 of the consti-
tution, and inasmuch as the cost of
printing this schedule will vary in pro-
portion to the amount of revenue it
produces for the treasury, and as we
expect and hope to see a recurrence of
the same thing each year, we would
recommend that the printing of the
premium schedule be inserted in that
clause which gives permission to spend
over $100 for printing the annual re-
port.
We would also recommend a change
in Section 8 of the by-laws. We recom-
mend that instead of compelling a de-
linquent member to pay up all arrear-
ages, he be compelled to pay only one

year's dues. This will cover the time
we carried him on the books after the
last payment of his dUes. Or, that
after a certain lapse of time he may
be allowed to join as a new member.
The merging of our exhibition with
the National Flower Show was perhaps
responsible for most of the activity in
the secretary's office. Just how much
the society will be benefited, or other-
wise, remains to be seen. The liberal
premiums, coupled with the rule com-
pelling membership in the A. C. S. of
all competing exhibitors, has brought in
several members — more than usually
come in before the convention takes
place.
The large increase in the total
amount available for carnation pre-
miums made it necessary to completely
rearrange the schedule. The schedule,
as it is this year, seems much more
nearly perfect than any other we have
ever had, in that it provides for a more
complete exhibition of the carnation
and its possibilities. If this list can be
reduced without eliminating too many
of the decorative features, it would be
a step in the right direction.
To the National Flower Show Com-
mittee is due our thanks for placing at
our disposal the generous sum of $750
to be used for premiums at this exhibi-
tion. This, added to our usual amount
of cash, medals and special premiums,
made the largest amount of premiums
ever offered for carnations, totaling
nearly $1,400. The large number of
entries shows that the money was
wisely distributed.
In conclusion, I wish to add that the
society owes its thanks to our vice-
president, E. A. Peirce, for the able
manner in which he has handled the
local end of the preparations.

CREDITS AND COLLECTIONS.
[A pap«r by President J. A. Valentine, read
tetore the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa-
tion, in convention at Boston, Mass., March 25 to
April 1, 1911.]
In presenting to you this hastily pre-
pared paper I wish to state that, while
the words are mine, the paper is pre-
pared from notes furnished me t'or that
purpose by the secretary of our com
pany, Miss Page, who has for years
acted as our "credit man" in charge
of accounts and collections, ii the
inner history of retail florists could be
known, I firmly believe that it would
show an astonishing number of failures
due to the careless extending of credits
and slovenly methods of collecting.
Doubtless others have had problems to
contend with that have not confronted
us, and I hope that in the discussion on
this paper many helpful points will be
brought out.
In my opinion, many florists make
the mistake of being timid about ask-
J. A. Valentine.
(President Itslntl Florists' Delivery Assoclallon.)
ing a man for references when he
wishes to open a charge account. This
is all wrong and it is hard to see why
any such attitude should have become
at all common. The man who goes to
the bank to borrow money expects to
thoroughly ■ satisfy the bank on all
points concerning his capital, his cred-
its and his antecedents. The florist's
transactions are smaller, but it is just
as essential for him as for the bank
to see that credits are not extended
to people who will not pay. Jf the
customer has good credit he is gener-
ally gltKl to prove it to you; and if he
gets indignant over your courteous in-
quiries it is pretty safe to assume that
he is one of the numerous gentry whose
capital consists of gall and a good
front.
Bating of New Customers.
In our establishment we get all the
information we can, but when none is
obtainable we are inclined to be fairly
liberal in extending credit for small
amounts, afterward following up the
collections closely. During office hours
all such matters are referred to the
credit clerk, but salesmen are allowed
some discretion in the early morning
and in the evening. If the credit clerk
has no record of a customer, the Retail
Credit Men's Association, a local or-
/ganization of which we are a member,
and which includes about 200 retail
merchants, is called on the 'phone and
asked in regard to the customer 's
rating. If they have no record of him,
we then obtain what information we
can as to the customer's residence.
business connection, etc., from the city
and telephone directories, and if the in-
formation obtained from these sources
looks fairly favorable and the amount
involved does not exceed $3 or $4, the
charge is allowed to go through; other-
wise, unless we can get the customer
on the 'phone and get a satisfactory
reference from him, the goods are sent
C O. D. If the flowers ordered are for
a gift, and the amount is not large,
we take the chance and fill the order.
We have found that there can be np-,
cast-iron rule in regard to these n»tit-
ters, but each case is determined/by
the circumstances and the information
obtained. Often, on busy days, charges
to entire strangers and people concern-
ing whom we can get no information
will slip through; but the results of
sixteen years of this polic^ have led us
to think it is better to risk an occa-
sional loss than to offend or turn away
people who might otherwise become
good customers.
A Card File of Customers.
Our oflice record is kept as follows:
When charges to new customers come
into the office, their names, together
with such information as we can get
concerning them, is entered on a card.
This is a 4x6 card printed so as to
allow the following information: Name,
address, occupation, report on credit
from Dun 's, Bradstreet 's and the local
Credit Association, and the date of
such report; also whether it is a retail,
wholesale or discount customer, and the
date the card is filled out. These cards
are filed alphabetically in a vertical

card file. The lower part of these
cards is so ruled that a small square is
given to each month in the year, for
a period of ten years. When an ac-
count is paid, the approximate amount
of it, indicated by a series of letters of
the alphabet, is entered in the square
allotted to the month of the year iti:
which the charge was made, together
with figures showing the time taken in
which to pay the amount — thirty, sixty,
ninety days, etc.
This card becomes a valuable record
of the way a customer pays >his,' bills,
and about how much he buys of us.
This card file daily becomes of more
value, not only in furnishing the names
of our good customers to be fcsed in
connection with advertising matter,
etc., but it enables us to know the peo-
ple whom we have to push for collec-
tions, or fight shy of altogether. AVhen
it has been decided that we,, do not
wish to give credit to a man, his index
card is marked at the tap with- the
letter K, so as to be seen at a glance.
File of Past Due Accounts.
Fob our daily information as to thi>
condition of past due accounts, we
keep another card file. .This includes
all accounts not paid in the month fol-
lowing the purchase. At the end of
each month a card is made for each
new past due account, and placed in
this file, and it stays in the file until
the account is paid or charged off to
"Lost Accounts." This card shows the
name, address, date and amount of the
account. All memoranda relating to
the collection of this account are en-
tered on the card as soon as received,
including date of letters w^tten, prom-
ises of customer, reason, if any, for ac-
count beidg slow, etc. Each day this
card file is checked with the cash book,
and when an account is paid, or it
becomes necessary to charge it off to
"Lost Accounts," the card is taken out
and destroyed. A file of this sort is a
great help to the credit man, because
it gives concisely the information in
regard to the accounts which need his
attention.
9 Methods of Collection.
At the end of each month an itemized
statement is mailed of charges during
the month, including past due account,
if anj-; and a statement is also mailed
of all those accounts which are past
due and which have no charges during
the current month. Duplicates of these
last are made for the collector. Only
past due accounts are given to him,
unless there is some reason for feeling
timid about some new account.
As a rule, accounts are given to the
collector as soon as they are delinquent,
but this is somewhat governed by the
customer's credit rating as shown by
our records. Past due accounts of old
customers who have been in the habit
of paying promptly are not given to a
collector the first month after they be-
come past due. This is also true of
the most of our lady customers. We
have found it to be good policy to be
a little slower about sending a collector
to lady customers than to the men, for
the ladies seem* unable to consider the
business question involved without ref-
erence to their personal merits. The
collector is urged to secure a promise
of payment on a definite date, and not
to be content with a promise to pay
* ' soon. ' ' He then makes it a point to
call for the money on the date set.
Treatment of Deiinqctents.
After the collector has had an ac-
count for a couple of months and it is
still unpaid, a courteous letter is sent
calling the customer's attention to the
fact that the account is unpaid, and
thAt^a check will be appreciated. We

we have found that it is better to make

results, what shall bo done with the
amount depends on the circumstances
of /the case, the customer's standing in
tha'Vommunity, his apparent worth and
his local credit rating. Sometimes we

volved is small. If the bookkeeper
deliberately adds a dollar or two to
this man 's statement it will often bring
him into the office in a wrathful mood,
with sarcastic comments on your sys-
tem of bookkeeping. Proper apologies
are made, the bill is corrected, and the
right amount collected. There are said
to be tricks in all trades, and this is
one of them. Its success shows that
the customer had not overlooked the
account, but was willfully neglecting it.
Credit Associations.
Our two local credit associations are
of great assistance to us. One is called
the Eetail Credit Men's Association,
the other the Denver Credit Men's
Association. The first is an association
of retail merchants, the members of
whilch send in to the secretary of the
association daily reports of their slow-
paying and bad accounts, also their
new accounts. The association keeps
no record at all of a man 's worth, but
simply of the way he pays his bills to
the members of the association. This
information is available at any minute
over the telephone.
The Denver Credit Men's Association
is more in the nature of a collection
agency. It furnishes us with two fofin
letters, which are mailed by us, but
with the signature of the association.
The first states that the account has
been given to the association for col-
lection and asks that it be settled at
once. The second letter, which is sent
out about ten days after the first, states
that if the account is not paid at once
it will be necessary to include the de-
linquent in the monthly report to mem-
bers of the association. These letters
are not used until the collector has
exhausted his resources. If the second
letter brings no results, we give up the
account as practically hopeless, charge
it off to "Lost Accounts" and give it
to a regular collection attorney, with
instructions to sue if it seems advisable.

that draft will be made on him on a
certain date. If he does not pay by
that date, draft is made on him in the
regular way through our bank. If no
attention is paid to the draft, or it is
refused, we then attempt to make col-
lection through what is called the
Credit Association. This is a New
York concern which is also in the na-
ture of a collection agency. There is
a series of two dunning letters, and if
these bring no result a draft, on a
form furnished by the associanon, is
sent to the bank designated by it in
the town in which the customer lives.
Attached to the draft is a letter to the
association's attorney in that town,
asking him to proceed with the collec-
tion of the account. If the draft is
not paid through the bank, the account
is then given by the bank to the
attorney.
We also keep in our office a card file
of all accounts which have been charged
off as lost, and which are not outlawed,
bankrupt or gone out of business. The
card shows in whose hands the account
is at the present time. If the account
is in the hands of an attorney the card
shows that fact. The other accounts
are simply carried along in the file in
the hope of sometime locating the cus-
tomer who has changed his address and
disappeared. These cards are looked
over periodically, any further steps
which seem advisable are taken to en-
force collection, and as fast as an ac-
count is paid or outlawed, the card is
taken from th^ file and destroyed.
The Notoriously Slow Payer.
We sometimes get an account against
a man who is notoriously bad pay — and
generally for a small amount. In such
cases our collector is instructed to be
very persistent and, if the account is
not paid, to continue to annoy the man
even in the presence of his customers
in his own office. The object of such
methods is not the collecting of this
account, for the small sum is not worth
all the trouble, and often we do not
collect the account at all, but the next
time that man wants flowers he will
avoid us and go to some concern whose
collection methods are less offensive,
and we are well rid of him. There
seems to be a sort of fraternal feeling
among men of this style, who are con-
tinually living beyond their means, and
they evidently pass the word along to
their cronies that we are mean and
persistent in our collecting. We think

that such a reputation among men of
this sort is worth striving for.
On the other hand, when a man comes
to the office with a story of sickness or
genuine misfortune, we are glad to
arrange for such extension of time as
his necessities require — only asking that
he make his promises of future pay-
ment as specific as possible. Misfor-
tune sometimes turns into fortune and
you will sometimes retain the good will
of a man by considerate treatment and
later find him a prompt and valuable
eustomer.
The policy, as herein outlined, is the
same practically that we have followed
for a number of years; but the detail
is a ipatter of growth, and has been
carefully thought out from time to
time to meet, the demands of our par-
ticular business and line of customers.
We are always seeking to improve our
methods, and read all available litera-
ture on the subject.
Wisdom of Prompt Collections.
We have found that few accounts are
lost if they are followed up promptly,
but that a slow account can quickly
become worthless if the debtor is al-
lowed to think that you are easy and
negligent in such matters. Years ago
I was repeatedly cautioned by well-
meaning friends that any attempt to
follow up accounts and make prompt
collections would result in driving away
from us our most desirable trade. It
is true that some customers have taken
exception to our sending their bills by
our collector and some few of them
have temporarily withdrawn their pa-
tronage. .The most of these have
eventually returned to us with the
knowledge that we make prompt collec-
tions and they are generally models of
promptness. Some few have never re-
turned, but are now adding to the
burden of overdue accounts carried by
our competitors.
We have just adopted the plan of
sending a letter with the first statement
of account sent a new customer, ex-
pressing pleasure at finding his name
among our charge accounts, promising
him good service, hoping to please him,
etc. — in short, extending him the glad
hand and making him feel that he has
his own identity in the office.
The collection and bookkeeping de-
partment is a necessary expense and if
■ft can help to draw trade or hold it
when once secured it will thereby help
to pay its own way. The value of any
system must be judged by the results
obtained. I will simply state that by
following the plan outlined above we
have, for the last five years, collected
an average of $996 out of every $1,00C
charged.
The retailers of the country can be
vastly benefited by an exchange of
thoughts and experiences in such gather-
ings as this. The powers have long
met in conventions and made rapid
progress in their end of the florists'
business by reason of such exchanges.
To hold that your business knowledge
is too valuable to exchange with your
competitor is only a little less antiquat-
ed than viewing each competitor as an
enemy; and to consider one's self too
well posted to be able to learn any-
thing in a gathering of this sort stamps
one as narrow and provincial. Let us
give freely and hold ourselves ready to
receive and retain the good points ad-
vanced. If each one can advance one
good point, all will be vastly benefited,
for each will have parted with one

SCIENCE OF OBOWINQ ROSES.
[A paper by Wallace R. Pierson, of Cromwell,
Conn., read before the American Rose Society,
m coiiventlon at Boston. Mass., March 25 to
AprU 1, leil.]
Upon receipt of the invitation from
your society to speak upon this sub-
ject, I had an interview with Webster's
dictionary to find out just exactly what
science means; and upon learning that
science, as applied to the subject at
hand, means the assemblage of the
general principles of rose growing, 1
accepted the invitation, for the word
had lost much of its dread, and I felt
much as the Yale student did, accord-
ing to the story so often told. This
student was to take an examination in
Bible history, and he came to the con-
clusion that he ought to learn the
names of the kings of Israel and thus
be prepared for the coming examina-
tion. Imagine his surprise when he
was asked to criticise the acts of
Moses! After thinking the matter
over he wrote as follows, and his an-
swer was enough to pass him in his
examination: "Far be it for one as
humble as I to criticise the acts of a
great man like Moses, but if you want
to know the names of the kings of
Israel, here they are. ' ' And he wrote
out the list that he had so carefully
learned. So I am availing myself of
the chance to present to you a collec-
tion of the general principles of rose
growing, and trust that in doing so I
may carry out the instructions of our
president, who has asked me to bring
before you certain subjects which are
in dispute and to give my opinion re-
garding these points, in the hope that
an interesting and profitable discus-
sion may arise therefrom.
The method of growing roses today
is built upon the knowledge that has
been gained in the past by experience,
.nnd many times the lessons have been
costly, but it is by mistakes that we
learn, and by observing the self-evi-
dent disclosures that nature makes we
can profit.
The Question of Soil.
In considering first the question of
.soil, I want to quote to you a little of
what is now ancient history — informa-
tion that has been handed down to me,
because these points were observed be
fore my day as a rose grower. About
twenty-five years ago we were using
almost entirely soil from uplands that
had a clay body, but contained some
lighter elements. This, composted with
manure, was our rose soil. One year
part of our place was planted with soil
taken from the lowlands, where at times
there was standing water. This low-
land soil produced better roses than we
were getting from the same varieties,
under the same treatment, when the
upland soil was used. The variation
was so marked, and so strikingly in
favor of this lowland soil, that we be-
lieve it is far better suited to roses
than the upland soil. It is true that
our wild native roses exist on uplands
but the rank, strong-growing wild roses
are always to be found in swamps, or

in low, marshy land. These same low-
lands, through the wash from thife' sur-
face of the soil in years past, have
accumulated a richness and character
that are not -found in soil at higher
levels. '
About the same time we were trying
to combat club-root, which is caused by
eelworm, and the noticeable fact that
the eelworm did not exist in soil that
at some time in the year was under
water had much to do with our selec-
tion of lowland soil for roses. The eel-
worm proposition had also another in-
fluence which has been far-reaching in
its effect, and brings up the proposition
of young stock, which is one of the
most serious importance.
Grafted or Own-root Stock?
At this time we were growing La
France, and, running short of enough
to fill a house of own-root plants of
this variety, we purchased enough im-
ported, grafted plants to fill the house.
The eelworm attacked part of the own-
root plants, but the grafted plants
were not affected at all, although the
owij-root plants adjoining them were
affected. The best and strongest growth
we had ever been able to get, and the
greatest producing plants, were the
There are, however, a few exceptions,
and the noticeable exceptions are Perle,
Sunrise and American Beauty.
Speaking of grafted plants, there are
several points worthy of mention be-
fore we pass over the subject. The old
method of gauging the value of a
plant by the size of the pot which con-
tains the roots has little worth, and
deservedly, for the reason that a well
nourished and properly grown plant in
a 214-iiich pot can be the equal, or the
superior, of a plant poorly nourished
that has been forced into a 3-inch pot
before the shift is necessary, and this
same rule applies to plants ori their
own roots. Make your plants strong
and sturdy, with plenty of root action,
and do not shift too soon. Get the size
and growth in the small pots and, if
you are shipping plants, save the buyer
from paying express charges on surplus
soil.
Hints on Grafting.
Be sure of your union of scion and
stock, and, with the increase in the
planting of varieties having hybrid
blood in them, with a tendency to slug-
gishness in midwinter, a safe way to
get good unions is to graft when the
sap flows freely. Graft such varieties

(PreBident National ABsociatlon of Oardenerg.)
grafted plants in that house of La
France. The lesson was plain. We
grafted our Bride and Bridesmaid, and
since then we have been grafting roses.
Own-root plants are grown only occa-
sionally as a check on the grafted, and
in every case the grafted have given
us increased production, with a corre-
sponding increase in revenue. In some
cases two full crops have been cut from
grafted plants before those on their
own roots have attained sufficient size
to throw a crop of salable flowers.
as My Maryland and Prince de Bul-
garie early in the season, or wait until
later in the year, when, with the warm
weather and more sun, the sap begins
tp flow normally. Keep above the wood
with blackthorns, for that wood sel-
dom has the right amount of sap and
seldom makes a good union. If the
foregoing varieties were grafted when
the wood was right, there would be less
heard of this type of rose doing better
on their own roots than they do as
grafted plants.
A plant that is properly grafted, and
with a perfect union, will live just as
long and do more business than an
owli-root plant, and the fact that those
who are the best growers in this coun-
try are grafting roses because it pays
them is proof of the assertion I make,
and I am willing to allow the own-root
advocates all the bottom breaks they
can get from their own-root plants, but
I have yet to see as many bottom
breaks per plant in an own-root house
as we had last year in a carried-over
house of grafted Killarney.
Leaving, then, the discussion of
plants, let us return to the soil and the
preparation of a house for planting.
We try to lay composts in the winter,
and for many reasons, one of which is
that the ground is frozen and we can
get our soil out from the lowlands bet-
ter on frozen ground, the soil having
been plowed into ridges in the fall, and
another reason is that in winter we
can secure cow manure to compost with
the soil, and can at that time lay our
composts within easy reach of the
houses that are to need it later.
Use of Bone in Soil.
As soon as the frost is out we cut
this soil over, mixing the manure with
it, which hastens the decomposition of
the vegetable matter in the turf, and
when ready to fill the houses we use a
two-horse Cutaway harrow to pulverize
the soil, at this time adding bone meal,
or rather a bone tankage, in the pro-
portion of a pound of bone<meal to
each cubic foot of soil, or as near that
as we can. I am aware of the fact
that many do not use bone, and had
our results been confined to an expe-
rience with one certain grade of bone,
we should not be using bone; this
bone, \ would state, was thirty per cent
phosphoric acid, according to analysis,
with no nitrogen. This phosphoric
acid was not available, and the results
were no better than had so muc^ lime
been added to the soil. In time, per-
haps, such a bone might have returned
interest on the money, but it seemed to
prove the old farmer's statement that
the man who can afford to use bone
should do so, as he is preparing the
land for his grandchildren. However,
a bone tankage with available phos-
phoric acid, and some nitrogen, will
show results, and mulching young stock
in small pots will soon prove this if
my assertion is doubted. And I might
add that part of our success in pro-
ducing large, strong plants from 2%-
inch pots Uas been due to mulching
each individual plant with a mixture
of soil 'and bone.
One thing to be sure of in planting
is that the union is covered, and often
this is a problem when shallow rose
benches are used, but to insure bottom
canes, and to protect the plant from
breakage, the union must be covered,
and for that reason we graft our stocks
as close to the pot as possible.
Given, then, a good plant, well estab-
lished and growing, and a compost of
lowland soil, with one-third cow man-
use that has been pulverized, and after
adding bone tankage in the proportion
of one pound to the cubic foot, we have
two of the essentials of good' rose
growing.
Benches or Solid Beds?
I wish now to take up the considera-
tion of solid beds and benches as an
important question in rose growing, and
you will note that I am entirely omit-

ting the consideration of the house, for
good roses can be grown in any house
that has sun and air, although for econ-
omy in handling the large houses are
to be preferred.
There are two methods of preparing
a house; one is to build wooden or
cement benches, and the other to con-
struct solid beds. The purpose for
which these are to be used at other
times, if they are not to be used all
the year for growing roses for cut
flowers, has much to do with coming to
a decision as to which to put in.
Wooden benches we believe to be abso-
lutely essential for young plants in
small pots; the root action is better
and the convenience of handling is a
desirable qualification, but for the com-
mercial production of cut roses a solid
bed is, in my opinion, to be preferred,
and we are using it almost exclusively.
Our method of constructing a solid
bed may be of interest to some. Our
subsoil is a clay, impervious to water
to any extent, and thus devoid of
drainage. We make the sides of our
beds of cypress plank or of cement,
and these sides are fourteen inches
high above the level of the ground. We
cut into the clay subsoil, leaving the
bottom V-shaped, and in this trench
lay a 2-inch or 214-inch common land
tile, according to the length of the
bed, with a sod over each union. These
tiles drain to cross tiles, which are the
outlets. We then fill the bed with
coarse gravel to within eight inches of
the top of the boards or cement.
The Froduction of Blooms.
The beds are then ready for our
soil, which is prepared as I have de-
scribed. We use six inches of soil, and

(MaiMKer of the Koee Exfalbltlon, National Flower Show.)
the two inches left between the top of
the plank and the soil will allow for
watering and mulching the beds from
time to time. Good drainage is assured,
and good drainage means air in the
soil, for air is essential to root forma
tion.
Given, then, a good plant, well estab .
lished and growing, and a solid bed
such as I have described, there are
two methods in use to build up a plant
before beginning to cut. One of these
is to pinch all the new canes t soft, and
the other method is to allow these
canes to mature, and then to cut back
to a good length when the bud shows
color. Of the two methods the latter
seems more satisfactory, as a plant is
built lower and the breaks will come
stronger.
The question of how many cutting
leads a plant should carry is important.
Too much wood and too many shoots
often mean small flowers, and the num
ber of leads can be controlled by taking
out the weaker ones, leaving six or
seven to each plant. This does not
mean six or seven bottom canes, but
that number of growths which will
produce flowers, and seven flowers per
plant per crop is enough to insure a
paying proposition and a good quality
of bloom.
Cropping or Continuous Cutting?
Having covered the subject up to
the mature plant in the bench or bed,
the next feature to consider is crop-
ping or continuous cutting. Two ways
are open, and there is a question as to
which is to be preferred. By cutting
back or pinching soft, a bench of
ylants can be brought into crop as a

whole, or by pinching one shoot per
week on each plant so far us is practi-
cable, the crop can be made continuous.
For a holiday it is sometimes prefer-
able to crop a section, or a bench, but
for steady trade the continuous crop
seems to be preferred. The plant never
gets the severe check that cutting off
an entire crop will give it, and the re-
turns may be ahead at the end of the
season. In this case the treatment will
be different, and the extremes of water-
ing will need to be avoided.
Watering is also one of the essen-
tials, and the use of water, or the fail-
ure to use it, has changed the output
of many sections of rose houses. The
rule is to water sparingly when wholly
off crop, and water at least three times
per week, and when the plants are
coming into crop always water thor-
oughly, but remember that if a bench
is cropped when you cut from the top
the root action suffers correspondingly,
and, with less foliage, less water should
be given.
When the Plants Are Off Crop.
Air is essential to root formation.
Did* you ever notice that the largest
root a plant has is the one that comes
things, water it. Liquid manure with
some muriate of potash will help, but
care in using these is essential, because
they are dangerous things in the hands
of incompetent help.
For roses that are to be left in year
after year there is nothing better than
the solid bed and a thorough drying
out in the summer before cutting back.
The question of how much to cut back
a plant is important. Cut no more than
is absolutely necessary if your plant
has not been thoroughly rested. Never
dry a plant so the wopd will shrivel,
and do not try to lift plants to replant
from solid beds unless they have been
thoroughly dried out. As a rule, roses
lift better for replanting from benches
than they do from solid beds, as in
solid beds the roots are deeper.
The question of removing the soil
from the top of a bed after drying it
out is one that is of interest, and I
firmly believe that taking off soil ex-
cept that which has been washed to the
center of the bed, and is loose, is un-
necessary work and labor wasted.

out of the hole in the pot, and that
the largest roots are nearest the edge?
Air, with sufficient moisture, seems to
be the reason for this. Thus, by with-
holding water when plants are off crop,
the new roots get a chance, an4 the
new crop comes strong and heavy;
when it does come, feed it; above all
rist, for there is the business side to
consider and the retailers mii«t be
taken care of, and that means a steady
supply of such stock as they may need.
Not all of the money in roses is made
during midwinter and the spring
months. We have a long summer, when
good roses are in demand, and the mar-
ket is usually supplied with poor stock
at that time. How to remedy this has
been a problem until the coming of
new varieties, which have their places
just as assuredly as Killarney has its
place.
Should we put ourselves in the places
of the retailers and dictate what we
should grow, it would not be all Kil-
larney and White Killarney. The early
planting of other varieties, which have
their strong points in^spring, summer
and fall, will tide .p:\|p| the situation,

NOVELTIES IN SWEET PEAS.
[.\ paper by G. W. Kerr, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
read before the National Sweet Pea Society, in
convention at Boston, Mass., March 25 to April 1,
1911.]
Not SO many years ago, if one men-
tioned sweet pea novelties, it was quite
unnecessary to ask the raiser's name,
as they were then practically all the
result of the patient and painstaking
labor of the late Henry Eckford, but
of recent years, more especially since
the introduction of that glorious va-
riety Countess Spencer, all this is
changed, as the last six years have seen
the advent of many sweet pea special-
ists and raisers, with the result that our
list of varieties is growing by leaps
and bounds — so much so that were they
all distinct it would be almost an im-
possibility to keep in touch with**khem.
But as it is, only a few of the many
novelties which are introduced each
year are found worthy of a permanent
place in the garden, the majority of
the novelties being either synonymous
-with existing varieties or in many cases
inferior.
For instance, we are trying out at
Fordhook this year considerably over
100 of the season's introductions, and
T fancy I am safe in saying that there
will not be twelve out of that number
which will be found worthy of perpetu-
ating. As far as we can judge by news
paper reports, the most sensational Eng-
lish novelties of the year are Stirling
Stent and Charles Foster. Stirling
Stent is a waved, orange-colored flower,
for which the introducer has been
charging 7 shillings and 6 pence, or al-
most $2, for six seeds. It was awarded
a first-class certificate and the silver
medal of the English Sweet Pea So
ciety, as being the most meritorious
novelty in their trials. Charles Foster
is said to be the first of quite a new
shade in sweet peas and is described as
a blending of rose, salmon and apricot
on a lavender and violet ground. Both
these varieties are of immense size and
generally produced four on a gtem.
After having read such glowing reports
of their merits, I am eagerly looking
forward to the advent of their first
flowers some two and a half months
hence.

easily takes first place. In fact, I con-
sider it the most exquisitely beautiful
variety in cultivation, the color being
soft, light terra cotta on cream ground.
Of the other novelties, the only va-
rieties of outstanding merit were Mrs.
Hugh Dickson, soft pink on cream
ground; Martha Washington, white
edged and suffused rose; W. T. Hutch-
ins, buff, pinkish apricot; Earl Spencer,
or Nancy Perkins, salmon-orange; Marie
Corelli, rose; Ruby, glowing orange-
scarlet, wings rose, and Arthur Unwin,
a much improved Mrs. Ireland. If we
add the following, the cream of the
earlier Spencer novelties, this may be
said to embrace the very finest set now
in commerce, namely: Mrs. Routzahn,
apricot pink and creamy buff; Con-
stance Oliver, a cream ground Countess
Spencer; Dainty Spencer, white with a
picotee edging of rose; Mrs. C. W.
Breadmore, or Evelyn Hemus, primrose
with picotee edging of pink; White
Spencer; Primrose Spencer; Asta Ohn,
soft lavender, standard flushed pale
rose; Tennant Spencer, heliotrope; John
Ingman, or George Herbert, rosy car-
mine; Helen Lewis, deep orange; Flor-
ence Morse Spencer, pale pink; Othello
Spencer, deep maroon; King Edward
Spencer, rich crimson; Flora Norton
Spencer pale blue; Aurora Spencer;
Queen Victoria Spencer; Coccinea Spen-
cer, and — last but not least — Countess
Spencer, the forerunner of this mag-
nificent new race.
The New Winter Spencers.
So much for this popular flower as
we know it in the summer time, but
what of our winter flowering varieties?
After having admired the magnificent
exhibits of roses, carnations and other
winter and spring flowers exhibited at

is ;i race of winter flowering sweet peas
coining that will to a great extent oust
many of these from popular favor, and
that their introduction will revolution-
ize the cut flower market I I am re-
ferring to the Spencerized type of win-
ter blooming sweet peas. Although the
winter flowering type as we have it to-
day is extremely popular, it is still in
its infancy and the new race to which
I refer is as much superior to it as are
the summer flowering Spencers to the
grandifloras, and all sweet pea lovers
appreciate this marked difference, but
I believe it is even more accentuated
in the new winter Spencers.
I had the pleasure of visiting Mr.
Zvolanek at Boundbrook a few days
ago, where I saw this new class in per-
fection. There were pure white, prim-
rose, blush pink, pink in various shades
to rose and orange. The size of flowers
and the excellent frilled blooms,
strong steins and robust and vigorous
growth to which I was introduced were
magnificent and I am certain the in
troduetion of this new race will place
the sweet pea at the forefront of all
winter flowers, especially for table
decorations and boutonnieres.
T understand that the Rev. FJdwin
Arkwright, of Algiers, has ;;lso been
working on this form. I have also been
hybridizing for the same results for the
last few years, so that we have now at
Fordhook a large family of promising
youngsters of various ages, from which
T am expecting great things.

Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. — Benjamin
Hammond, of Hammond's Paint & Slug
Shot Works, celebrated the opening of
his finely equipped new factory by in-
viting the school children of the com-
munity to visit the premises on Satur-
day afternoon, March 11, and by treat-
ing the youngaters to Florida oranges.
Hundreds of the pupils attended, in
company with their teachers, and found
the tour of inspection not only instruct-
ive, but highly enjoyable, in spite of
the fact that one of the boys dropped,
feet first, into a barrel and was im
mersed to the waist in green paint.

OBITUARY.
David Mundell.
D.ivid Mundell, gardener at the In-
stitution for Feeble Minded in Glen-
wood, la., died recently at his home in
that town, as the result of cancer. He
was born at Yonkers, N. Y., and was
about .'50 years of age. He was em-
ployed for fourteen years at the Hos
pital for the Insane at Independence,
la., and then he removed to Monti-
cello, la., where he engaged in busi-
ness for himself. About two yeai-s ago
he received the appointment at the
Glenwood institution.
Mrs. George Schwartz.
Maria Theresa Schwartz, wife of
George Schwartz, a retired wholesale
florist of Brooklyn, N. Y., died March
21 at her home, 36 Schaeffer street,
Brooklyn, at the age of 78 years. She
was born in Germany, came to this
country fifty-three years ago and had
lived in Brooklyn for forty-one years.
She is survived by her husband.
A. J. Seiders.
A. .J. Seiders, one of the best land-
scape gardeners in Texas, died March
24 at the family residence, 1106 West
Thirty-eighth street, Austin, at 40
years of age. He had suffered from
consumption for five years, but had
been confined to bed for only a short
period. He was born in Austin and
had lived there nearly all his life. He
was a man of close observation and
original thought. As a landscape gar-
dener he knew the native plants and
conditions and possessed good taste in
arrangement. Texas owes him much as
an introducer of plants and ideas that
have become established successes in
the peculiar climate of that state.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Edward Seiders; by his widow and six
children. Misses Myrtle, Stella, Kate
and Bessie, and Charley and A. J.
Seiders, and by five brothers, J. D. and
H. B. Seiders, of Taylor; John W. and
R. L. Seiders, of San Saba, and Fred
Seiders, of Austin.
Herman Lawrentz.
Herman Lawrentz, who for many
years conducted greenhouses on the
Torrington road, Litchfield, Conn., died
March 17 of heart disease, at the age
of about 70 years. He was apparently
in good health when he retired to bed
the previous evening.
Miss Faotmie M. Anderson.
Miss Fannie M. Anderson, of the firm
of Anderson & White, at Lexington,
Ky., died March 20. The two ladies,
Miss Anderson and Miss White, had
been associated in business at 159
Georgetown street for many years and
had built up a large trade from a small
beginning. Miss White attended to the
general management of the business,
while Miss Anderson acted in the ca-
pacity of clerk and took charge of the
orders. Miss White has the sympathy
of her many friends in the ^eath of
her partner.
. CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
The market has shown practically
no change in the last week. Eeceipts
continue heavy in all departments. A
comparatively small part of the sup-
ply is taken by the stores of recog-
nized standing and that are willing to
pay a price. Business is not bad with
the retailers, and they are able to buy
so reasonably that they are pushing
for business because of the extra profit
to be had at this time, but the fact
•is that the greater part of each day's
cut finds its outlet through the people
who operate the cheap sales. . When
ever it becomes generally known that
cut flowers of good quality are to be
had at cheap prices so long as the
buyer is willing to take what is of-
fered him an^i clean up the lot, there
at once spr>rlgs up a host of buyers
who are not seen in the market when
crops are low. These people have been
operating extensively in the last two
weeks and have served to give the
market a somewhat better tone. They
do not care whether they handle roses,
carnations, sweet peas, violets or bulb
stock^it is all one to them. Were it
not for these people there would be
no possibility of moving the enormous
quantity of stock which comes into
the Chicago market when crops are
on. It is recognized by everyone that
when crops are at the heaviest with
the growers who supply this market,
Quts also/ are at the heaviest in the
towns that otherwise would draw a
Impart of their supply from here. Con
sequently when crops are on at Chi
cag^ the legitimate shipping demand
is apt to be lightest, and vice versa.
There are so many flowers in the
market that if anything is scarce its
absence passe? unnoticed; the buyer

the advantage of lower prices than they ever before were able to get such
fine roses at. All lengths can l)e supplied in quantity.

who personally visits the market does
not get beyond the first place entered;
all his wants are supplied at once. The
average quality of cut flowers is ex-
cellent. Long Beauties are not yet in
crop, but the special grades of other
roses are so plentiful that there really
is no special demand for Beauties. Also
the buyers are out of the habit of
ordering Beauties; they have been
scarce so long that retailers are afraid
to take onlers for them. Carnations
are good and sweet peas are coming
in of superlative quality. Not much
can be said for violets, as their sea-
son is passing.
Orchids continue abundant and the
growers of these and of valley are
looking for the passing of Lent for
a revival in the wedding demand.
All Ivimis of greens are plentiful.
Easter Prospects.
With cut dowers as abundant as in
the last fortnight there is much spec-
ulation as to the prospexjt for Easter.
The growers, who are prone to look on
the dark side, predict that crops will
be run off and that there will be a
scarcity for the great flower holiday.
It seems inevitable that with crops so
heavy as they have been in the last
fortnight, they must be lighter for
Kaster. It seems, however, that there
is little prospect of any scarcity — such
scarcity as there may be will be of
strictly high grade flowers — there will
be plenty of the lower grades. Easter
lilies with many growers have come
in too soon and there will be many
held for Easter which would have
been marketed earlier had there been

any chance to do so. With many grow-
ers giganteums are short in stem, but
the stock now on the market seems to
indicate a fair proportipn will be long-
stemmed. The violet situation is in
doubt. There should be plenty, but
what the quality will be no one can
tell, as hot weather for the last two
or three days will make a great differ
ence.
Locally this year there will be more
bulb stock in pans, and that sort of
thing, than there ever has been before.
Many who grow bedding plants are
preparing to supply local retailers with
the more easily grown varieties of pot
stock.

Friday evening, and informal talks
were made by W. N. Eudd, J. C.
Vaughan and H. N. Briins for Chicago,
and by J. Brown, W. A. Cull and C.
Kngelmann for the visitors. .T. S. Bruu-
ton, leader of the party, was unable to
be present on account of sickness. The
other members are E. Barker, J. S.

After a visit to the wholesale market
♦Saturday morning, John Poehlmann es-
corted all except Messrs. Brunton and
Simpson out to Morton Grove, where
the rest of the day was spent. The two
last named gentlemen were taken on an
auto trip through the west side parks
by Mr. Bruns. Keturning downtown
they joined the rest of the party and
Mr. Cull, in speaking about the plant of
Poehlmann Bros.. Co., said, "That es-
tablishment takes the cake."
They left for Niagara Falls Sunday
afternoon and many remarks were
heard that "they were jolly good fel-
lows. ' '
Various Notes.
No mail will be delivered in Chicago
on Sundays after April 1, unless marked
for ' ' Special Delivery ' ' and ten cents
extra postage attached. Time your regu-
lar letters to reach here Saturday noon, if
you want them to be delivered before
Monday morning.
Just before starting for Boston, C. L.
Washburn bought a forty horse-power
Overland touring car.
Mrs. August Jurgens is on the sick
list.
The Chicago [)arty to Boston, includ-
ing those from outside points, consisted
of twenty-five people. Several others
went earlier or later than the main
party.
The materials for the big Italian
garden decoration on the eighth floor
of Marshall Field & Co. 's main build-
ing were supplied by L. Baumann &
Co. An inspection of the garden should
prove interesting to florists.

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
There was a great deal of clear
weather last week, just warm enough
to bring out all seasonable stock in
large quantities. The retail trade is re-
ported rather dull in everything ex-
cept funeral work, which is plentiful
and calls for especially large designs.
The plantsmen are, of course, all busy
now and will be until the middle of
M^y. On Monday morning, March 27,
the wholesale market was glutted with
extra fine sweet peas in all varieties;
these are selling as low as $1.00 pei
thousand. Carnations, too, are much
too plentiful in the market; every one
had large consignments all week, qual-
ity extra fine, and large lots sold at $10
per thousand for extra good stock.
Fancy Enchantress and Beacon sold
well at top prices.

Lilies are coming in large lots, both

$10 per hundred. Roses are coming in
fine. Bride and Maid are of especially
good quality just now, but Killarney
and Maryland outsell them and at a bet-

scarce; medium and short stems are
plentiful.
California violets are holding up well,
but are much smaller. Fancy smilax

PHILADELPHIA.
The Rising Eastern Market.
"Philadelphia leads in prizes." That
was the message that came flashing
over the wires from Boston on the
night of March 25. It means that at
the National Flower Show, where every
section of the eountrj' is striving for
honors and glory, Philadelphia holds
the proud place of leader in the horti-
cultural world of America.
The week closing March 29 has been
uneventful. There is a fair amount of
business, with the tendency of prices
going downward, especially on carna-
tions. There are plenty of shipping
and local orders requiring good stock,
with no special surplus in the better
grades. Emperor daffodils are fine and
remain firm in price. The southern
stock is not plentiful enough to mar
their market. Tlie sweet pea vines
that have done hard work all winter
are tiring now. Their flowers bring
one-half the price of some of the vines
that are just coming into bloom. Single
violets are pretty well out of the race;
doubles are good, but not plentiful at
times. Beauties continue scarce. Cat-
tleya Mossise strengthens the sought-
after dark orchids. Easter lilies are not
plentiful yet. Valley and lilacs are
good. There is some colored lilac now.
Daisies and pansies are in fair demand.
Snapdragon, except the fancv pink, is
dull.
The Spring Show.
The Spring Show of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society, held in
Horticultural hali last week, was
largely an exhibition of bulbs and
Easter plants in bloom. It was beauti-
ful— experts said a decided improve-
ment over last year. The competition
was keen among the private gardeners
for the Dreer, Michell and Waterer
prizes. The Henry A. Dreer Co. made
an excellent exhibit of foliage plants
and ferns. Phil.

Piaster and spring stock. Hustle is per-
haps the word that would best describe
the fertilizer that has made the place
look as it does. The plants are in tip-
top condition all the way through; there
is no dead wood on the place and none
but the best varieties.
The lilies, 5,000 in number, are di-
vided between giganteum and multi-
forum, and range from short to medium
and tall, passing through the same
range of quantity of flowers. The aza-
leas, curtained off to keep them well
back lest we have warm weather before
the sixteenth, are in just the condition
thVt gladdens an azalea grower's heart,
glossy green foliage and plenty of buds.
This same condition -strikes terror to
the heart of the newspaper man, be-
cause it is so difficult f6r him to tell
the varieties apart unless he is told.

five standard Easter plants, totaling

every variety, made the last of the week

been through the sad days of Lent, and
a good Saturday was the general ver-

day was not excessive.

mand from the east side florists, over
140 funerals resulting from the calam-
ity.
Good select American Beauty roses
still hold their own. Most of this stock
is stort-stemmed and small-headed. Of
other roses Killarney dominates every-
thing. There are a few of the new va-
rieties quite popular, but not enough of
them arrive to justify quotations.
The best carnations were down again to
2 cents Monday. The shipments just
now are excessive, and there were many
thousands unsold Saturday.
Violets go to the street men in great
lots at $1 per thousand and for even
less. The best the big stores will pay
is 30 cents per hundred. There will be
no advance until Easter week. Orchids
are abundant, but the demand is not en-
couraging and buyers are critical in
their selections. Many of the whole-
salers now feature the orchid in their
windows. The majority expect a good
demand for Easter. If anything is
scarce it is valley and prices are better.
Lilies, too, are firm at 6 cents to 8
cents and will gradually improve. There
will be no surplus of good flowers for
Easter and 12 cents to 15 cents is the
present booking suggestion of the
plantsmen. There are plenty of callas
and the quality is tiptop now.

showers and the "seventeen year" lo-
cust hav^ arrived to cap the climax.
The plant auction houses are all boom-
ing and many new faces are seen among
the buyers.
There is a spirit of optimism prevail-
ing among the best retail establishments
as to the Easter outlook. Enterprise is
evident in the advance contracts for
flowering plants, some having doubled
their last year '-a orders. The disposition
to stage expensive decorations in the
show windows has never been so pro-
nounced as now. Daily exhibits of the
skill of the artists are seen, especially
in the bon ton stores of Broadway,
Madison and Fifth avenues, well worth
going miles to see. Even the Boston
show will have nothing more striking
and beautiful.
Myer, at 609 Madison avenue, is for-
tunate in securing the adjoining store
for his Easter business. He has added
this space permanently to his store and
now has over 3,000 square feet, sixty-
two feet frontage on Madison avenue
and fifty-five feet on Fifty-eighth street,
one of the best locations in the city,
Kessler Bros, and J. J. Coan, of the
Growers' Cut Flower Co., expect to oc-
cupy their new stores for the Easter
trade. Both establishments will com-
pare favorably as to size, convenience
and ice-box facilities with any of the
wholesale centers of this busy street.
Siebrecht & Siebrecht are fast build-
ing up a reputation for superb valley
and orchids, and no wonder, when the
sources of their supply at Astoria and
New Rochelle are considered. Their
progress has been rapid and they feel
that larger quarters will soon be a ne-
cessity.
The balance of the first floor of the
Coogan building not occupied by A.
Moltz & Co. has been leased by H. Nel-
son and the whole space thrown into
one large room and fitted with tables,
etc., similar to the Cut Flower Ex-
change room on the third floor of the
Coogan building. The idea is to let .
space to growers and so accommodate
any who cannot secure room in the Ex-
change above. Theodore Lang makes
this his headquarters.
The fine pansies at P. J. Smith's
opened the eyes of the British tourists
last week and they acknowledged they
had seen nothing to excel them in old
England.
Many of the wholesalers are handling
blooming plants for Easter.
David Clarke's Sons celebrate their
eixty-third anniversary next week, a
record unique in American floriculture.
Just a year ago the movement of the
wholesalers to the other side of Sixth
avenue began. Notwithstanding the
"exodus," some of the best of them
continue between Broadway and Sixths
avenue, and it may be years before any
further changes occur. Leases run yet
from one to five years and the build-
ing of skyscrapers will be the only in-
ducement to make a change desirable.
Few can hope, however, for the $10,000
bonus on a lease so neatly landed by
Ford Bros., twelve months ago.

The Market,
There was quite a flurry in last
week's business because of several
large funerals that made a heavy call
for flowers. Many of the growers are
holding back their product as much as
possible and the supply, while sufficient
to meet all ordinary and normal de-
mands, is less than usual. The outlook
for Easter is promising and there will
be a good supply all along the line, ac-
cording to the reports received from
the greenhouse men.

Various Notes.
It is probable that before the end of
this season Providence will take its
place among other cities of the country
having a flower market. There have
been several attempts made to start
such a market, but none of them mate-
rialized because of lack of support. The
present movement, however, seems to
have more push behind it. The plan is
for a market association to be formed
as soon as fifteen growers agree to the
proposition. The paper already has a
number of signatures.
Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Newell, of Attle-
boro, are on a visit to relatives in New-
ark, N. J.
Ralph Armstrong, manager for Wad-
ley & Smythe, of Newport, is in the
hospital for a slight operation and is
reported as progressing nicely.
M. J. Leach & Son, of Pawtucket, arc
the owners of a new E. M. F. 26'-horse-
power touring car.
Thomas Galvin, who has been in the
house all winter, is able to be out and
around once more.
Henry M. Wilson, of Middletown, fell
down a flight of stairs at his home a
few days ago, but fortunately escaped
serious injury.
Smith & Berker have given a con-
tract to Lord & Burnham to erect a
house, 36x100, on North Broadway,
East Providence, for lily of the valley.
Joseph Mattson, of Newport, is on a
visit to Philadelphia.
A. Chournard, formerly with Mr.
Peterson at Ashton, has begun the con-
struction of two greenhouses on Brook
street, Pawtucket. They will be 40x95
feet each.
Timothy O'Connor has a fine lot of
Easter plants at his place on Boulevard
avenue. Among his showings are Easter
lilies with six to nine blooms on a stalk.
Johnston Bros, were unusually busy

Seven Pages o{ RetaUers' Cards
This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili-
ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help-
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and
make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service
for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are thte only florist in your city
represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not
represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion.
Why not send your order today — now — before you forget it?
BOSTON.
The Market.
On the whole, business has improved
a* little as compared with a week ago.
Prices have not improved, but there is a
better clean-up in most lines. A cold
snap, with temperatures down as low
as zero in some places, has now given
way to warmer weather, and we may
expect something of a glut later in the
week. Business for Lent, taken all in
all, has not been bad. Eoses are now
of their finest quality, averaging a
little lower in price. Beauties are of
grand quality; so are Killarney.
The stems of the latter are extra fine.
Chatenay is now showing up well; so is
My Maryland, while Mrs. Aaron Ward
continues popular. Carnations are in
abundant supply, but cleaning up toler-
ably well. White varieties of late have
been in good demand, but are now get-
ting overabundant. The leader in this
color here is White Enchantress. In
the light pink class Enchantress, un-
less picked rather closely, loses its color.
Fair Maid is seen of nice quality and
Pink Delight continues in favor. Single
violets are rapidly nearing the end and
after the present week will not cut
much of a figure.
Sweet peas have been improving in
quality each week and are now fine. A
large number of varieties are now pro-
curable. Dutch bulbous flowers are in
heavy supply, with little change in
prices. The long trumpet varieties con-
tinue to sell better than the short trum-
pets. As yet gladioli have not made
their appearance, but some good Span-
ish iris is arriving. This is quickly
sold. English primroses are becoming
plentiful and sell well. Callas have
sold abundantly, but lilies and lily of
the valley are each in oversupply. An-
tirrhinum, especially the pink varieties,
is in good demand. Marguerites are
more abundant; the yellow varieties sell
particularly well. Gardenias are plenti-
ful and cheaper. Cattleyas are rather
scarce. Schroedera; is the variety now
mostly seen. There are plenty of den-
drobiums.
Asparagus and adiantum are each
selling fairly^ well. Pot plant trade is
becoming lively. Eambler roses, such
as Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins and
Hiawatha, are in especial favor, also hy-
drangeas, genistas, acacias and bulbous
subjects. The clear weather lately en-

Various Notes.
William Patterson, of "WoUaston,
achieved a signal success at the flower
show in the classes for bulbous plants,
capturing no less than twenty-four
premiums on hyacinths, tulips and nar-
cissi. Mr. Patterson is one of our best
bulb men and his many friends are
proud of his success.
The next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club will come April 25,
the hall being rented on the regular
meeting night, April 18. B. Hammond
Tracy, the well known gladiolus special-
ist, will lecture on the gladiolus and
its culture.
Perry Green, of Quincy, is bringing
in an extra fine lot of dimorphotheca
and sweet peas to the Boston Cooper-
ative Market.
Mann Bros., of Eandolph, have the
market practically to themselves so far
on Spanish iris, bringing in thirty dozen
daily. They sell an immense quantity
of Dutch bulbous flowers daily.
The Sutermeister Estate, of Eeadville,
is now doing a heavy business in pans
and pots of bulbs. Their Empress and
Victoria narcissi are extra fine. They
also have a fine lot of tritonias.
We were pleased to see the veteran
Joseph Tailby, of Wellesley, at the
flower show March 26, the first time
Mr. Tailby has visited Boston in three
3'ears. He was accompanied by his
grandchildren and took all his old-time
delight in the exhibits.

Sidney Hoffman had the lion's share
of the designs for the funeral of the
late Nathaniel Thayer, and turned out
a large number of beautiful pieces. Mr.
Hoffman manifested his hustling capa-
bilities when he removed about 100
large designs from St. Paul Episcopal
church, on Tremont street, to the South
station per autos, and had all in posi-
tion in the baggage car of a special
train there within seventeen minutes.
Albert Batley, of Maynard, has at
present a splendid lot of Winsor, Pink
Delight, Beacon and Enchantress carna-
tions.
Pink carnations have been chosen by
Queen Mary as the coronation flower
and Winsor is the Queen's special fa-
vorite. This pleases Peter Murray, of
Fairhaven, Mass., the raiser of this
popular variety on two continents. It"
is also satisfactory to learn that En-
chantress, raised by another Massachu-
setts man, is next in order of popularity
for the same occasion.
One of the most admired plants at the
flower show was the new azalea. Lady
Roosevelt, from the W. W. Edgar Co.
Were this procurable in quantity, it
would be in tremendous demand, as
there is no other azalea of this unique
color. It is a sport from Rudolf Seidel.
All the seed stores are now taxed to
their full resources to keep abreast of
orders. The cold weather has somewhat
delayed counter trade, but it is now on
with a rush w^hich is almost overwhelm-
ing.
No gladioli were to be seen at the
flower show, not even The Bride or any
of the nanus type. Many local growers
tried to get large batches in flower, but
none succeeded.
Daniel Scott is now grower for A. M.
Davenport, of Watertown. Mr. Daven-
port has a grand lot of lilies, hydran-
geas and other plants for Easter. He is
also a specialist on strawberries in pots.
No man worked harder for the suc-
cess of the flower show than Thomas
Roland. He exhibited an enormous
quantity of plants and the awards re-

It is doubtful whether any trade ex-

The Market.
Trade for the last two weeks might
best be expressed by saying that ' * it
has come steady by jerks." This is to
say that some days have been most en-
couraging, while others have been just
the opposite. Taken all in all, one can
scarcely complain, for during the lenten
season trade is always more or less slow.
Funeral work appeal's to be the only
thing to keep stock on the move, and
even in this line the demand has not
been specially great.

Stock of all kinds has been most
plentiful, with the exception of carna-
tions, which are off crop. This brings
much delight to the grower, as he sees
Easter ahead, and appreciates the fact
that large cuts of carnations are needed
at that time, and judging from the
present outlook a heav^ crop will be
coming along in good time. The rose
cuts are heavy, as the bright days of
the last several weeks have brought
them in abundance. However, the call
from the surrounding towns, where but
few roses are grown, is sufficient, so that
the supply does not come amiss.
Lilies are still in heavy supply, but
the market is better on them than it
has been of late. The warm weather
has brought bulbous stock along rapidly
and it is crowding the market, although
it moves fairly well — better than could
be expected, as the market gardeners
are disposing of much of it to the
street fakers and this, of course, makes
it harder for the florist to sell his sup-
ply-
Green goods are a little scarce.
Various Notes.
The Miami Floral Co. reports trade
quite satisfactory and says that th*
prospects for Easter are most encourag-
ing. This company is booking some
large orders for Easter lilies and also
expects to cut a large crop of carna-
tions for the Easter trade.
Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs, who for the
last twenty years has conducted a re-
tail store at 808 East Fifth street, has
retired from business, her daughter,
Mrs. L. D. Johnson, being her successor.
Mrs. Hendrichs is not enjoying the best
of health at the present time.
Herbert Bartholomew spent March 19
at Miamisburg, O. Mr. Bartholomew
seems to be spending considerable of
his time in the "burg"; there appears
to be some strong attraction.
Ruby A. Bartholomew spent March
26 and 27 in Richmond, Ind., where she
was called to attend the funeral of a
friend.
Harry C. Kiefaber, president of the
Miami Floral Co., has recently under-
gone a delicate but successful operation
in his throat. He is getting along as
well as could be expected.
A trio of Cincinnati tradesmen, con-
sisting of Charles E. Critchell, Fred
Gear and Julius Baer, selected the worst
day in March and came to Dayton to
get better acquainted with our florists,

ISBELL'S NEW
GRAND FORCING CUCUNBER
A Great Outdoor Forcer
In this remarkable new Cucumber we have attained
the Ideal sort for Gardeners, Truckers and Shippers. It
Is absolutely perfect in shape, and surprisingly uniform.
The photographic illustration on this page shows the
type, and they all look alike.
In size they run between Arlington and Davis Perfect,
making them ideal in this respect and suited to all mar-
kets. When about 6 to 7 Inches long, there is not a
particle of waste when used as a slicer and the seeds at
that stage are hardly noticeable.
The deep green color, however. Is the crowning merit
of this sort. It fully equals (some say excels) the Davis
Perfect in this respect, and the latter up to this date,
has been the darkest green variety obtainable. The
Davis Perfect, however, has proven a little too large for
some markets, and occasionally has a hard neck, from
which the New Grand Forcing Is absolutely free. Every
particle is edible.
Isbell's New Grand Forcing
has another grand quality and this is its wonderful
prolificacy. It seems to aim to produce a cucumber at
every joint.
This new variety is bound to create a sensation and
every grower who wants to be abreast of the times must
plant It.
A prominent Eastern seedsman when shown our crop,
wanted to buy 25 lbs. of It at once, and when we told
him we did not wish to sell any to other seedsmen, lie
dared us to set a price. This shows what an expert
thinks of this wonderful variety.
The supply of seed Is not large and we request cus-
tomers to order early.
Prices, by mall, postpaid : Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c ; % lb.,
60c; lb., $2.00.

STEM-ROT OF LETTUCE.
We are sending you under separate
cover some samples of lettuce and wish
you would examine it and inform us as
to the trouble. We never had any of
this trouble until this winter. The' dis-
ease attacks the small plants when first
double-rooted and continues until they
are ready to cut. Our soil is a loam
and we do not think it is too heavily
manured. The trouble exists in the dry
and moist beds alike. It is getting to
be a serious affair. If you can let us
know what the trouble is and the rem-
edy, the favor will be greatly appre-
ciated. C. & B.
The diseased sample plants arrived in
good condition for examination. Your
crops are attacked by the stem-rot of
lettuce, which gives so much trouble to
a great many growers. I would sug-
gest that you remove all the diseased
plants; they will only die when a little
older, anyhow. Take a shingle and
scrape the top soil off where they were
and carry it out of the house. Scatter
plenty of air-slaked lime around on the
soil at the diseased spots and in a circle
around them. Sulphur and lime mixed
is even better than lime alone, but the
lime should be fine. Mix them half and
half and dust the mixture on quite
freely.
This disease, like all fungous dis-
eases, is really a plant growth, which
roots into the soil and stems of plants
also. The spores or seeds of the fungus
are borne on hair-like growths, like grain
heads in a field borne on long straws.
Whenever these spores mature and are
carried to other spots where conditions
are favorable, they germinate and start
another spot of the disease. If they
happen to alight in unfavorable places
they fail to germinate or make any
headway, just as garden crops would do
if conditions were not favorable for
them to grow in. Lime and sulphur
are both exterminators of fungous
growths, but still are not strong enough
to injure the crops. They therefore
kill off the fungus, preventing it from
going to seed and spreading over the
houses, as weed seed spreads over a
garden.
The soil in a greenhouse, when once
thoroughly impregnated with the sp6res
of disease, will continue to make trouble

until changed for clean, fresh, new soil,
or until the old soil is sterilized. Ma-
nure in soil for lettuce really should be
put in long before the soil is used, as it
is usually the cause of the trouble. If
thoroughly rotted together, the soil is
also more valuable and there is less
chance for the fungus to have it to live
on. This fungus spreads over the sur-
face of the soil, living on decaying ma-,
terial, etc.
I believe it unnecessary to mention
the importance of fresh air and ventila-
tion, but suggest that you keep the
water dowir on the soil, not wetting
the foliage, but running the hose in
between the plants, with the water
turned on slowly. Cultivate young
plants a little and do not keep them
too wet. H. G.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
Mabch 30, 1911.
EVERY'
In our CUT FLOWER DEPARTMENT we are in a position to please the most
well by those whose requirement is quantity. In our FLORISTS' SUPPLIES DEPAR
Florists' Supplies at Manufacturers' Prices
We manufacture-many lines of florists' supplies, either in our own big building or elsewhere, and all
others we handle in such large quantity that we can make our modest profit selling at the prices manufac-
turers charge smaller buyers. In no case do we permit ourselves to be undersold. The greater part of our
business being mail orders for a general line of supplies, we are in a position to defy price competition
on the same grade of goods. Outside of price, buyers will appreciate their many advantages in placing
their orders all in one place— saving in time, bother and express. We carry everything and so large a
stock we can at all times fill all orders promptly.
We sell Ribbons and ChiSons at first hands, direct from the loom
Buying our Ribbons in loom orjlers direct from the mills means that we must carry an immense stock,
but it also means that we get special florists' qualities (not department store stock) at a cost that makes it
possible for us to sell at the same prices smaller jobbers pay. We have every flower shade in every width
and several grades of silk, satin taffeta, mousselines, moire, plain tafleta and satin gros grain. A complete
range of price and qualities; there's nothing in Ribbons we can't supply. Fuh 10-yard bolts. A good
many florists "sit up and take notice" when they begin to compare our Ribbons, Chiff'ons, Nettings and
"Ties, and our Prices, with the goods they have been getting and the prices they have been paying.
Send us a trial order— for a few bolts of the ribbon you use most, or for the kinds you are short of.
We want it specially understood that all Ribbons and ChiflTons ordered of us by mail are sent out
with our guarantee of satisfaction. If the Ribbons or Chiffons are not thoroughly satisfactory in quality,
color, price and in every other particular, the shipment is to be returned at once and we will pay transportation cost both ways. If any
part of the shipment is not as wanted, that part is to be returned. It is absolutely safe to order of Randall— we take all the risk.
BUYING BASKETS BY MAIL
We have a very large stock of staple and novelty Baskets- and buying Baskets by mail is the simplest and most satisfactory mattei'
imaginable. You have only to wriU» us what you want to use the baskets for, what size, shape, style, material, price— anything to let us
know your needs— and we send you a collection, as many pieces as you say, or to cost a certain sum of money. Collections at $5.00,
$10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $25.00, $60.00. You unpack the baskets and look them over, examine them in your ow|? store, judge of quality,
style, price. II not in every way satisfactory, pack them up at once and ship them back to us. ( )r you can send back any
part. We tate all the risk. ^ _ _._^
MATS AND POT COVERS
Materials for pot covers are a necessity at Easter. Of these stai)lo articles you cannot overstock. Be sure you have enough.

Easter and can supply all orders. We want your regular orders

trade in Carnations. For Easter the supply will be extremely heavy and the quality extra good. Place a big order;
you'll need them, for the Easter business increases every year.

Kendel, Cleveland. U. Twenty-ninth annual
meeting. June 20 to 22. 1911.
A LARGER business has been done in
sweet peas this year than in any previ-
ous seed season.
DoBBiE & Son, Edinburgh, Scotland,
have sent out a new sweet pea called Sun-
proof Crimson that is said to be true to
its name.
Seed buyers are learning that germina-
tion is far from being the most impor-
tant factor in determining value in seeds.
Quality of product is what counts.
It is more than possible that, if seeds
were sold as "U. S. Standard," the term
would become one no seedsman would
care to use on his selected strains.
The free distribution of seeds by the
government this year included seven tons
of sweet peas and just a trifle more than
that weight of nasturtium.
Since leasing its greenhouses to H. E.
Mitting, the Mangelsdorf Bros. Co., At-
chison, Kan., is confining itself almost ex-
clusively to the jobbing seed business.
The J. W. Jung Seed Co., Kandolph,
Wis., recently booked a contract order
for 100 pounds of Kochia Tricophylla,
which Mr. Jung thinks is the largest sin-
gle order ever placed for seeds of the
standing cypress.
The government seed shop was de-
layed in the early stages of its work this
season by failure of its congressional
patrons to supply addresses in time, but
the mailing has now been brought up to
date and it is expected to finish the 1911
distribution about April 20.
A London newspaper has offered $5,-
000 in prizes for a sweet pea competition
open to amateur growers and some of
the leading English seed houses say it has
greatly stimulated the demand for seeds.
E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, are quoted
in one trade journal as saying it will
clear up a ton or more of sweet peas that
would otherwise have been carried over.
Between Lisse and Hillegom, in Hol-
land, there is yet a large area inside the
dunes. When cultivated this soil is able
to grow hyacinths. Although not by any
means yet in condition, this land is al-
ready being sold in lots to several bulb
growers at a price said to be about $1,500
per acre. Many will be astonished to
hear of what is considered comparatively
poor soil commanding such an extraor-
dinary price for this use.

IMFBOVEMENT OF ASTEBS.
[A paper by George Arnold, read at the annual
Farmers' Day Meeting, at Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y., February 23, 1911.]
A short time ago I undertook a careful
review of the work we have been doing
in asters for the last five years. My
purpose was to select certain definite
points for presenting to your attention
today. After looking over the ground,
it seemed to me that I had made a mis-
take in the title I had sent to your sec-
retary. Instead of "Improving Asters
by Selection, ' ' it should have been ' ' Im-
proving Asters by Accident." In the
main much of our work has lacked sys-
tem; we have not kept iii as close touch

with other workers as it now seems to
me we should have done, and we are only
beginning to grasp some of the funda-
mental truths of varieties that have been
well known for a long time to many of
those now present. Although we have
<hig out no new principles in plant breed-
ing and have originated nothing that is
really startling, we have made a steady
advance in the character of our stock.
It is for this reason that I purpose
speaking today of the methods of our
work as ^Tell as of the results accom-
plished.
The Search for Double Forms.
An aster is nothing if not double — I
refer, of course, to the regular commer-
cial varieties. Continuous search has
been made, therefore, for plants having
more double flowers. "We have found de-
cided diflferences in varieties in respect
to the amount of improvement to which
they were susceptible. The more "stub-
born ' ' sorts, as we have called them, have
but little variability. Occasional plants
would be found in these varieties pro-
ducing fine double flowers. The seed
from these plants would be grown sep-
arately. But the following year they
would be marked "No improvement"
and would be thrown back into the gen-
eral stock. Apparently the doubling had
come from some temporary condition es-
pecially favorable to the plant. Still, by
using stock seed selected mainly for the
double character of the flowers, we can
see that we have made a distinct advance
in five years in even the most stubborn
varieties.
Eliminating a Yellow Center.
In the variety known as the Cardinal
the undesirable yellow center has been
eliminated in an unusual way. As the
variety came to us in 1907, every flower
showed a yellow center at an early stage.
The variety was well established and the
make-up of the flower was such that I
considered it a most stubborn case. "When
we grew our first crop in 1908 it was no-
ticed that, as the flowers aged, the yellow
tlisk florets changed to the color of the
outer florets, or "petals," and also be-
came somewhat elongated. One plant was
found in whicli the center of the opening
flower was filled with long tubular florets
of the same color as the outer parts, and
long enough to avoid the appearance of
stiffness common to most asters with
quilled centers. This character has held
for two seasons without any tendency to
reversion, and we were able to grow our
crop of this variety in 1910 from the

We take this opportunity to announce to the American nursery trade that
we are big growers of novelties in Rosea.
"We buy every year all the novelties which appear anywhere in the world.
"We propagate all the varieties of the sets during the first year they are in
our posst^^sion ; we study them and ofler in our Wholesale Catalog^ue of
Nursery Stocks and Roses tliose that we have; noted as among the best.
"We continue to propagate and study them as novelties during three
years, and afterwards transfer the very best into our general collection.
Owing to the great attention that we devote to this culture and the impor-
tance of our collection of Roses, an inspection of our nurseries in summer will
be of great interest and profit for our American colleagues when on a trip in
Europe.

produce of the single plant found in
1908,
The Branching Asters.
When the branching asters were intro-
duced they became popular at once, by
reason of their large flowers and long
sterns^ For commercial use the great
number of lateral branches has been some-
thing of a drawback, many of the grow-
ers going to the expense of having all the
main branches disbudded. When I en-
tered upon my present work in 1906, I
found some selections of white branching
that had been made for earliness. The
plants were of a semi-upright habit, much
less spreading than the type. There were
but few branches and these were practi-
cally devoid of laterals. It struck me
that this feature was more valuable than
earliness, and since then we have worked
steadily to reduce the number of laterals
on all branching varieties. It is inter-
esting to note that when we have suc-
ceeded in getting non-lateral selections of
other varieties they have also been semi-
upright and early. Breeding off so many
flowers has proportionately reduced the
production of seed and has thus brought
up a serious commercial problem.
Obtaining the Upright Form.
In general, for commercial purposes,
an upright plant is more desirable than
one of a spreading habit. We now have
a large number of upright selections
taken from the spreading types. Several
of these are fixed and promise to become
good commercial varieties. There are also
a smaller number of early flowering forms
taken from late varieties. In the great
majority of cases, when we have found a
plant in one of the late varieties that was
early or non-lateral, or upright to semi-
upright in growth, it has appeared to be
a hybrid with one of the upright, mid-
season types — Giant Comet, Victoria or
Truffaut.
To keep our trial plantings within lim-
its, we have saved each year only a few
plants of distinctly hybrid origin — plants
that were desirable both in flower and in
habit of plant. We have disregarded the
latent possibilities of the many combina-
tions that appeared in the second genera-
tion. For the same purpose of keeping
down our trial list, Ave have frequently
thrown together the seed from a number
of plants in a trial of hybrid origin, when
they have appeared to be similar. Some-
times this has worked out all right; more
frequently, I should say, it has not. If
the originating of new varieties were a
more important part of our business, we
should probably adhere quite rigidly to
the method of breeding from single plants
until the strain was well fixed.
Turning now from a consideration of
the general scope of the work, we will
take up some of the minor details — the
mechanical part of the work.
Planting in the Trial Grounds.
Growing, as we did last summer, thirty-
seven acres of asters, in more than fifty
varieties, on one farm, we did not con-
sider it expedient to separate all the
varieties. We have, however, a gen-
eral scheme for planting, to which we
adhere as closely as circumstances per-
mit. Similar colors and types are as-
sociated in the field. Beginning on one
side of the field, the colors range in
somewhat regular gradations from light
to dark. We are not sure that this ten^s
to lessen the amount of hybridizing by
insects. We are inclined to think that
it does. We are sure that it minimizes
the damage done by such hybridizing.

Meeting Nature Half-Way
By Elbert Hubbard
C Waving grain is only Nature's way of beckoning us to work.
Man must evolve what Nature suggests. She meets us only one-
fourth of the way. We know that this is so, because by digging, .
building and changing the earth we get more than we ever
dreamed of.
C Out of our necessities we have become expert. And when a
man gains masterly proficiency in any one line, he attracts the
world's attention.
C In seeds it is W. Atlee Burpee. When Nature whispers a
suggestion this man catches his cue. He has compelled Nature
to meet the farmer at least half-way by his experiments. The
man who helps the farmer, — helps humanity.
C The very existence of the race turns on the ability of the farmer
to produce food. Burpee provides this important factor in our
economic system by raising seeds that are sure and safe. Burpee
says that he knows the only one use for seeds, and so he sells only
Seeds That Grow.
C The Burpee Annual is a textbook for every farmer, and the
good agriculturist is always a student and an economist.
C The soil is bounteous and full of precious gifts, but we need
Burpee to tell us how, when and where.
C Burpee breeds seeds that are the parents of better seeds, and
the process goes on until we have a new vegetable or flower. He
is not engaged in creating freaks. His purposes are practical.
Burpee is a business man as well as an artist, a botanist suid a
farmer. Thirty-four years of his enthusiasm, intelligence and devo-
tion have brought about the highest quality seeds on the market.
C If farming is not your business, convert that patch back of the
house into a beautiful and useful little garden. It will mean health
and joy for you. Though you may be a novice as a gardener, just
follow Burpee's suggestions and plant his seeds. You'll make
good, too.
C Anyway, send for the Burpee Nineteen Hundred Eleven Garden
Annual, which will be mailed for the asking.
C Do it now while you are thinking about it.

Hention The Kfvlew when you wnte
block of any one variety of asters for
seed purposes requires the produce of
from fifty to 200 plants. Under our
present system, this is obtained by stak-
ing individual plants. In case the seed
from selected plants should prove in-
auflScient, and to provide against acci-
dent, we have a reserve stock. A part
of one row is set aside for stock seed
and is rogued much more severely than
the rest of the block.
The System of Marking.
In sowing seed, and in planting in the
field, we observe the rule common in all
nursery operations, of working from left
to right. As the best seed is sowed first
in the plant bed, the best bred plants
come at the left side of each block in
the field. It is in these rows that we
stake selections for next year.
Formerly these stock plants were in-
dicated Iw wooden stakes. But tlie
handling of several thousand stakes,
used in this and other similar operations,
became so burdensome that we made up
stakes from No. 9 plain wire. They are
made long enough to show above the
plants when the seed is being harvested.
To render them more conspicuous, a dou-
ble ring is made in the top, from which
a shipping tag is suspended by a tag fas-
tener.
Using much inexperienced help in the
harvesting of the many varieties, we
have found it helpful to indicate the va-
rieties by numbers. Multiples of ten are
used for leading varieties and for-»dis-
tinct types. The intervening numbers
are used for minor or temporary varie-
ties. In this way similar kinds are in-
dicated by closely associated numbers.

We are sales agents for a large French export grower and a big Holland
grower; both have been selling customers in the United States over 15 years. We
import bulbs from no other source and last year returned late orders they could not
fill. Being ourselves large forcers of Bulbs and having imported for over 20 years,
we know from experience the only safe plan to get good bulbs is to buy only of
growers who send out good stock.
HOME GROWN BULBS— We offer Emperor, Southern Queen, Lady

varieties that were grown separately on
account of special excellence. Two fac-
tors contribute to the decrease: First,
we already have a great many of the de-
sirable combinations of type and color
in established selections that are being
carried along for further observation;
second, the main stocks are becoming in-
creasingly uniform in character.
Numbering the Selections.
We have tried several schemes for
keeping track of these selections. Our
present system is to use a number of
four digits for each selection. The first
digit indicates the year in which the
number was assigned; the other digits
make up the serial number for that year.
To mark the numbered plants of the
current season, we use the same device
that is used for staking single plants
for stock seed, except that in this case
the number is punched in the tag. The
tag is also fastened to the stake more
securely.
When it comes to planting the trial
selections, four or more rows are marked
crosswise of the field. A lot of plants
may fill four or five of these sections; or
it may fill a third of one section; the
next lot will begin at the following cross
mark. By this means we can have the
stakes all in line and easily found, not-
withstanding the fact tliat the plantings
are of uneven size.
IMPROVEMENT IN SEED GEOWING.
Seed crops are frequently grown by
farmers who have little knowledge,
ability, or liking for the work, and
often only because the seed needed for
planting a certain area is advanced to
them, or because for some other reason
it is more convenient for them to plant
a seed crop than any of those commonly
grown on the farm, says W. W. Tracy,
formerly for years with D. M. Ferry &
Co., in one of the bulletins he has
written for the Department of Agricul-
ture. It is- evident that under such cir-
cumstances actual seed growing would
not drift into the hands of the best
farmers, nor seed crops be suflSciently
popular to secure the best care from
those who do plant them. Few farmers
who grow seed crops continue to do so
for as many as a dozen consecutive
years, and seedsmen are obliged .»to
change frequently the centers from
which they place their contracts in
order to secure growers willing to under-
take them. It is evident that present
conditions are by no means such as

portance of sample and stock. (Seeds-
men commonly use the word sample as
referring to the viability, color, and
appearance of a lot of seed, and the
term stock as referring to the quality,
purity, and evenness of type resulting
from the line of breeding and ancestry.)
In many cases purchasers will choose
the better looking of two samples of
seed at a higher price, although they
know nothing of the stock from which
it was grown except that it is said to be
of the variety named, rather than the
poorer looking sample, which, though
quite possibly of lower viability, is
known to have been grown from well-
bred stock seed. Seedsmen should em-
phasize far more than they do, through
their salesmen, catalogues, and price
lists, the superior value of seed pro-
duced from stocks which are known to
have been carefully bred to a certain
distinct varietal character. They should
refuse to handle seeds which they do
not know were grown from pure and
true stocks. Planters should not be
tempted by low prices to purchase seed
of unknown or uncertain quality, but
should always buy that which they be-
lieve to be the purest and truest stock,
paying comparatively little attention
to appearance, or even to viability.
(2) The seedsman should change his
attitude toward the contracting farmer,
looking upon him as a seed grower
rather than as a mere cultivator and
making every effort to increase his in-
terest in and knowledge of the varietal
character of the sort of seed he grows,
as well as the special cultural methods
which will best develop its distinguish-
ing merits. This would necessitate the
seedsman's making a greater effort to

place his growing contracts not only
with cultivators who are favorably situ-
ated as to climate and soil for growing
certain seeds, but with those who are
likely to continue to grow seeds and by
a better knowledge of their cultural re-
quirements secure greater uniformity
and stability. In order to induce such
men to plant seed crops it might be
necessary to pay better prices for grow-
ing, but this would be more than
balanced, even financially, by the elimi-
nation of careless and incompetent
growers, who are apt to fail to deliver
the expected crop and through whose
negligence carefully selected stocks are
often lost. The advantage accruing
from a clientage of experienced and
careful growers interested in the vari-
etal characteristics of the stocks they
grow and who by greater care and bet-
ter cultural methods would grow not
only better seed but in more uniform
quantities, thus lessening the liability
to alternating periods of scarcity and
surplus, would more than offset the
higher price paid the farmer.
(3) There is a possibility of great
improvement on the part of the farmer
grower through more careful study not
only of the particular crop but of the
variety best adapted to his own condi-
tions of soil and climate and of the cul-
tural method which will give him the
greatest certainty of a crop that shall
be bright, clean, highly viable, and best
suited for seedsmen's use. Manytases
are known where two crops from the
same stock seed were grown on adjacent
farms by men who were considered
equally good cultivators, and one crop
was clean, viable, and thoroughly satis-
factory for use as seed, while the other,

Farmers seldom appreciate the im-
portance to the seedsman of receiving
the full quantity of seed contracted for.
This in some cases is so great as to
justify seedsmen when dealing with a
professional seed grower in making an
advance of from ten to fifty per cent
in price for a guaranteed delivery of
the full amount of the contract. We
may question the wisdom of making a

plants of the exact varietal character
desired, but which had behind it the
greatest possible number of generations
of just such plants.
The seedsman and farmer should come
to a very clear understanding as to the
exact form wanted in each variety. This
should be established by samples, photo-
graphs, and full varietal descriptions,
and it should be rigidly adhered to in
selecting stock seed. An interested and
intelligent farmer grower who confines
his seed crop to a single variety of a
species is in a better position to select
stock seed, and is able to do it better
and cheaper than a seedsman, and he
should be fully advised as to the exact
varietal character wanted and in-
structed to grow a sufficiency of the
best possible stock for his own crops,
if nothing more.
The cultural methods which will give
the best returns with grain crops ^re
generally equally well adapted to the
growing of a crop for seed, but with the
latter it is important that special care
be taken that the seed be pure and that
the percentage of viability is high. The
best methods for securing crops of such
seed will vary with different species and
may be considered separately.
DODDER IN CHILEAN CLOVEB.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture says that since July 1, 1910,
twenty-three lots of clover seed of prob-
able Chilean origin, aggregating 370,000
pounds, have been imported into the
United States. In all of these shipments
two kinds of dodder seed characteristic
of Chilean red-clover seed were present.
At a normal rate of seeding, these ship-
ments are sufficient to seed approxi-
mately 46,000 acres, and at this rate of
seeding an average of approximately
450 dodder seeds would be sown on each
square rod. The sowing of this Chilean
seed this spring means that the clover
crop on a considerable proportion of
the area on which it is seeded will be
destroyed by dodder, and farmers
should be on their guard against pur-
chasing this seed. Unfortunately, most
of these importations have gone into the
southern part of the clover-producing
region, where this dodder will undoubt-
edly prove disastrous. This Chilean
clover seed is itself especially fine look-
ing seed, being dark colored and ap-
proximately fifty per cent larger in size
than ordinary red-clover seed produced
in the United States. It will, therefore,
doubtless receive a ready sale on ac-
count of its fine appearance.

A wave of cheapness is
now sweeping over the lily
bulb business. A multitude
of firms are soliciting orders,
who, in their misconception
of the first principles of a
successful lily bulb business,
are fighting one another to
see who can get to the bottom
of the price list. You will
not find us* traveling that
way— we are fighting for a
better quality continually,
and the cost is a secondary
consideration. The main
thing is that the quality shall
be worthy of the cost, and
it's the everlasting driving
for better bulbs that keeps
us busy.
A grower can well afford
to pay a fair price for lily
bulbs of sure good quality,
and he can be more sure of

The Market,
The weather continues pleasant and,
although rain has threatened for sev-
eral days, the sunshine is still with us.
The carnations and roses are making
up for lost time and the town is liter-
ally swamped with them. The prices
have gone glimmering in consequence
and it is useless to give any quotations.
In a couple of weeks, however, things
will commence to . right themselves
again. The reason for the sudden ava
lanche of blossoms is not hard to find.
Usually at this time we are treated to
eomething similar, but this season,
owing to the several weeks' rest of in-
side stock of all kinds, with the first
few days of sunshine the pent-up vigor
of the plants suddenly burst forth and
we all can sec the result.
Daffodils of the later sorts are com-
mencing to be a factor in the market
and violets are slightly on the wane.
Easter lilies are daily becoming more
plentiful and, from all appearances, will
be in sufficient quaatity to fill all re
quirements. Valley is in good supply
and moves well. Wild flowers of half
a dozen sorts fill in nicely and help the
show along. Fruit blossoms and wild
ferns, together with several varieties
of native growths, are all being used.
Business is only fair, with quite a les-
sening of funeral orders, and the usual
lenten dullness hovers over everything.

The Market.
Trade during the last few weeks has
been quite satisfactory. There does
not seem to have been a surplus in
any of the standard lines, although
there has been at least an average sup-
ply of everything except roses.
Lilies, from present appearances, will
be poor and scarce. The bulbs when
first received were seen to be below the
usual size, and further tests have shown
more than the usual percentage of dis-
ease; one firm throw out over sixty per
cent before the final potting.
Outdoor daffodils are now arriving in
quantity. Golden Spur in sheltered lo
cations is of fair quality. A compara-
tively large area is now planted to
bulbs in this locality and, unless the
demand grows quickly, it is hard to
see where they can be disposed of at
remunerative rates.
Club Notes.
Highly satisfactory progress has been
made with the Florists' and Gardeners'

The Market.
Business has been quieter since the
lenten season commenced. The small
amount of entertaining and the sunny,
spring-like weather have^deluged the
market. Carnations of al+Sfarieties are
consigned to the dump ^ quantities.
Daffodils are a drug, impo^fele to move
at any price, as too much'^tside stock
is available. j^
Violets are becoming selSpee and will
be practically out of the market for
Easter, but all other stock'for that oc-
casion is coming along nicely, with a
guarantee of great plenty.
Greens are unusually scarce, with no
supply to draw from.
The nurserymen are jubilant, as busi-
ness to date far exceeds previous years,
;ind tbf' season has only .-just begun.

LOS ANGELES OPPORTUNITIES.
Having had several inquiries in re-
gard to the opportunities for a grower
^~vwith capital out here, in Los Angeles,
Oal.', I thought that possibly a few re-
marks on the subject might not be
amiss.
Five years ago there were two or
three small greenhouses, containing not
over 30,000 feet of glass all told, de-
voted to the growing of cut flowers
for this market. In these houses car-
nations only were grown, all the hot-
house roses being shipped in from the
north and arriving in the usual condi-
tion after traveling 500 miles or more.
About fifty acres were devoted to car-
nations in the open field, and possibly
twenty acres +o violets and five to roses.
At the present time there are three
good sized places for the growing of
<arnations under glass; these produce
about 5,000 blooms a day and will pro-
duce during the spring months 10,000
daily. There are two firms that grow
roses for the wholesale trade; one of
them has three houses, each 55x300, and
the other has smaller houses, with about
half that area. One retail dealer has
four houses, each 28x300, devoted to
rose culture, growing 80,000 American
Beauties, 12,000 Killarneys, etc., all of
this output going to his own store in the
••ity. The same grower has three smaller
houses devoted to mixed stock, carna-
tions, lilies, etc., for his own use.
In open field culture, there are at
least 150 acres devoted to carnations,
100 to violets and thirty to roses. There
are two small establishments that grow
adiantums, but not one-quarter enough
to supply the local demand, which ex-
ceeds 30,000 per day, the balance being

shipped in daily from San Francisco,
500 miles away.
The growing of flowering plants for
retail florists is only touched on the
edges. A few hundred begonias, about
1,000 azaleas, probably 5,000 cyclamens
and a few pots of bulbous stock are
produced.
In the growing of bulbous flowers
there are two growers of Purity free-
sias, and about an acre in each place
is covered with lath in tulips, hyacinths,
narcissi, etc. There are three firms that
grow these for the wholesale trade. It
is my opinion that the market will be
well supplied with this class of blooms.
After a careful survey of the field, I
should judge there will be about 125,000
tulips, 250,000 Paper Whites, 500,000
Emperor, 100,000 large flowering Dutch
hyacinths, 100,000 gladioli, 50.000 Bella-
donna amaryllis, etc.
After spending several years in the
retail trade in this city and recently
going into the wholesale trade, T am
convinced of the need — yes, the urgent
demand — for z number of large growing
establishments, as the outside shipping
trade in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico,
etc., would use at paying prices the
greater portion of all stock produced,
whereas there is not enough at present
for local use, even with the limited num-
ber of stores we have in this growing
city.
What is needed is more modern houses
and men of enterprise and experience.
The field is .i large one, the demand a
growing one and the opportunities un-
bounded. The wealth of the moneyed

world is being poured into Los Angeles,
and where wealth is, there is a de-
mand for choice flowers. Yet, with all
these favorable conditions before us,
we are obliged to put up with thou-
sands of inferior field-grown blossoms,
which too often can be had in quantity
when not wanted and are exceedingly
scarce when the demand is urgent.
On account of the inferiority and un
reliability of crop, the field-grown car
nations would soon cease to figure in
our markets, except as a summer
bridge-over, if the demand could be
met with enough house-grown blooms.

The question of labor is one of the

ment.
Col. G. B. Brackett, the pomologist
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
is an octogenarian.
Pryal's Nursery was established in
San Francisco in 1852, removed to Oak-
land in .1862 and has been at its present
site there since 1864.
With the development of the demand
for stock in the south and the north-
west and with the increase in fall plant-
ing in colder sections, the nursery busi-
ness has become a pretty steady grind.
Plantings of the Stark Delicious
ipple in territory that is adaptable are
being stimulated by the prices obtained
for last season's crop of this variety.
Nothing else brought such good money.

The railroads appear to be of the opin-

In the month of January, 1911, im-

valued at $147,599, as against $164,010 in
the same month of 1910.
The extreme of state legislation is to
make the nurseryman file a bond with a

It is reported that on the evening of
March 15 the stock on the grounds of the
Gilbertson Nursery Co., at Mason City,
la., was seriously damaged by fire, sup-
posed to have been started by sparks
from a locomotive. The loss, it is said,
amounted to $10,000, and it was only by
the energetic eflforts of about 200 men
that the flames were prevented from
.spreading to the neighboring woods.
MONTANA NURSERY LAWS.
The Florists' and Nurserymen's As-
sociation of Montana, with headquar-
ters at Helena, has recently obtained
some important amendments of the
horticultural laws of that state.
A clause debarring nurserymen from
being represented on the state board
of horticulture has been cut out.
Greenhouse plants have been exempted
from inspection and provision has been
made for an appeal to the state board
of horticulture against an inspector's
decision, when necessary. All fees col-
lected by inspectors are now to be
turned over into the state treasury;
previously the inspectors were allowed
to keep $1.50 each month as wages.
Previously the law provided that
nursery stock grown in Montana
should be inspected after it was dug
from the rows or grounds. The nurs-
erymen were required to give five
days' notice when the stock was
ready for inspection. Also, after the
stock had been inspected, they* were
required to give in writing, with an
invoice of the goods being shipped,
five days' notice to the state board
of horticulture before shipping. This
has now becTi amended and the state

been made to apply only to uninspect-

corrected.

PANSY FLOWERS EATEN.
Enclosed you will find some pansy
blossoms, which are being eaten by
some insect. We have tried to find it,
but cannot locate anything. Please tell
us what it is and the cure. W. & C.
This looks like the work of cutworms
and not of any insect. As these work
at night, you would be unlikely to see
them, unless you scratched the soil
away around the bases of the plants,
when you would probably discover some
of these arch pests curled up there.
Provided cutworms are the cause of the
damage, you can lay a poisoned mash
of fresh shorts moistened with molasses
and water, to which is added some
Paris greon. Cutworms seem to enjoy
this diet. Another plan, which entails
a little more work, but which would
probably prove more effectual, is to se-
cure some carbon bisulphide. Make
holes eighteen inches apart each way
and pour half a spoonful of the liquid
in each hole, immediately covering the
hole. This carbon is best applied when
the soil is wet. As it is an explosive,
do not use naked lights when applj'ing
it. Have no fear that it will do the
least damage to the plants. Carbon
bisulphide costs about 25 cents per
pound at wholesale. The cans must be
always kept tightly corked, as the car-
bon otherwise would speedily evapo-
rate. C. W.

The Two New Carnations for 1911
White Wonder
The IsLrgeat and most productive White
Carnation. Has all the white varieties out-
classed.
Gloriosa
Pure, glistening, bright pink. A decided im-
provement over all the pink varieties in color
and every other respect.
The two Carnations that will prove to please all growers and the most critical buyers. Commercially, they will
head the list of varieties grown in the future. Do not fail to grow these varieties that have been inspected and have met
the approval of many of our best Carnation growers.
If you have not already ordered, do so now. Next delivery— White Wonder, March 27th, and Glori-
osa, April 4th. Our March 15th delivery of White Wonder and March 15th and 27th delivery of Gloriosa were all
sold in 5 days after our adv. appeared.
PRICE : $18.00 per 100 ; $100.00 per 1000 ; 86C0 for $837.50 ; 6000 for $460.00

STOCKS UNDER QIASS.
Will you please give instructions
when to plant stocks, what kind and
how to handle for the best results in a
greenhouse? Will they grow well in
the same temperature as carnations?
Will they do best on benches or in the
ground? A. H. B.
Stocks for culture under glass can
be sown any time from the early part
of August until April. If sown now,
you would get flowers in June. Had
they been started by the beginning of
March, they would have flowered for
Memorial day. There are a number of
special forcing varieties for winter use.
White Column, pure white, and Beauty
of Nice, soft pink, are excellent for
spring and early summer flowering.
Nothing beats the Giant Ten Weeks',
the most popular colors being white,
delicate pink and lavender. For Me-
morial day trade the bright colors are
in strong demand.
Sow the seeds in pans or shallow
flats of light soil, with plenty of sand
in it. If you use sand freely, there is
less liability of the seedlings damping
oflf. Pot off singly when of sufficient
size and later transfer to beds or
benches. For winter blooming, bench
culture is much to be preferred. For
later flowering, beds will answer
equally well. Any good compost, such
as will grow carnations, sweet peas,
violets or mums, will answer for stocks.
Pull out the single flowering plants as
soon as they can be detected; they are
almost valueless as cut flowers. Allow
the Giant Ten Weeks' nine inches be-
tween the plants and fifteen inches be-
tween the rows. The early winter sorts
can go 8x8 inches, as they branch
little. A temperature of 48 to 50 de-
grees suits stocks; anything higher is
not to be recommended. Purchase only
the best imported seed, as cheap seed
will give you too large a proportion of
single flowers. C. W.
Greenwich, Conn. — James Campbell,
vice-president of the St. Louis & San
Francisco railroad, is making extensive
improvements on his estate at Mead's
Point, including the erection of green-
houses.

$250*00 net profit on an investment of $75.00
TO ALL WHO GROW
WASHINGTON
Here is a statement that will remove any doubt you may have about this new carnation, Wash-
ington, which we prove is the most profitable for any florist to grow; furthermore, you know the
Enchantress family are the easiest to grow as well as being the " money makers."
Let UB consider the first cost of the plants.
1000 Washington, dark pink sport of Enchantress $75.00
1000 Lawson or any other standard dark pink 25.00
Difference in cost $50.00
Washington or Enchantress will average 20 blooms per plant per season at the low average
of 3c per bloom; 60c per plant; 1000 plants $600.(X)
Lawson or other dark pinks will average 15 good blooms per plant per season at the high
average of 2c per bloom; 30c per plant; 1000 plants 300.00
Difference .$300.00
Gain in profits for Washington $300.00
Difference in cost of Washington and Lawson cuttings 50.00
Washington net gain per 1000 plants .$250.00
There is no use to argue, we give you plain figures that actually show you that an investment of
$75.00 will bring you $250.00, or better, clear profit in one season with less trouble or care than any
other variety of dark pink.
WASHINGTON is a true sport of Enchantress, a beautiful cerise, the exact Lawson color. Cut-
tings are strong, clean and healthy, ready for immediate delivery. Order today. We ship tomorrow.
$lO.0O per 100; $20.00 per 250; $75.00 per lOOO.
Now is the time to get your cuttings of Washington or Enchantress, as they keep growing; never
get hard, and give you the best results next season. Cuttings for our own use will be taken at this
time. Order at once before they are all sold.

TORONTO.
The Market.
For the last couple of weeks trade
has been moving along well, but the
usual lull just before Easter is starting
to be felt. Stock is coming in in ex-
cellent condition and the best is al-
ways cleaned up. Tulips and daffodils
are almost over. Sweet peas of good
quality are coming in a little better.
Beauties still are scarce; in fact, hardly
any are offered.
The weather ha.s been spring-like,
with plenty of sun. This is bringing
stock on fast and growers are ex
periencing difficulty in holding some
plants back for Easter.
Various Notes.
J. H. Dunlop was removed from the
hospital to his home last week and will
soon be around again.
George H. Geraghty is in Boston this
week. He will also visit New York.
Frank Smith, of Hamilton, spent a
couple of days here on his way home
from his honeymoon.
J. Slichter & Sons, of Greenwood
dvenue, have an excellent display of
bedding plants this year. They also
have some fine primulas.
C. Goulding & Sons and A. S. Jen-
nings, of Deer Park, are busy booking
orders for taking care of the graves
on Mount Pleasant cemetery this year.
Mrs. Walker and F. S. Bakewell re
port a fair business in the north end.
Mclntyre & Trimble are contemplat
ing the sale of their business. There is
nothing definite as yet, however.

Carnations
WHITE HOUSE. The quality white. Won the Silver Cup at Morris-
town for best undisseminated variety; Bronze Medal at Pittsburg, and five
other certificates. Absolutely non-bursting, clean and kind in growth and a
variety that will make good. We have 10,000 for March delivery and that is
all we will be in a position to supply of this variety.
PRINCESS CHARMING. The finest thing in sight in the Enchantress
shade of pink. Every bud a perfect flower and your net returns per square
foot will surprise you.
Our stock is limited, but we are still in a position to supply ^rst-claas,
rooted cuttings of both these varieties at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about 3J^ inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial

and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel confident it is one of the bast
commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
The color is a shade lighter pinlc than La wson; form high built, much like Boston Market ; stem
long and graceful ; healthy grower; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will jjrove a money-maker^-a pink Boston Market— only much

BAI.TIMOBE.
The Market.
Demand is lifeless. There is practi-
cally nothing doing as far as the stores
are concerned. The fakers have full
swing of the market, and they are mak-
ing prices to suit themselves. Some of
the growers report • that the supply of
flowers is beginning to shorten up, and
we all hope that the glut of carnations
will soon be over. Eoses are piling up,
as the demand is slow, except for the
best.
Blooming plants are. selling satisfac-
torily. Many fine azaleas and hydran-
geas are to be seen at some of the
stores! Hyacinths in pane are selling
exceptionally well.
There will be all kinds of lilies on
the market for Easter, some particular-
ly fine ones and some especially poor
ones, just as in former years. Some of
the plants will be quite short of stem.
Giganteum and Formosa lilies are the
only ones which are giving universal
satisfaction.
The British Visitors.
«
Twelve of the leading horticulturists
of England, who are touring the United
States, visited Baltimore March 20. A
banquet was held at the Hotel Eennert
by the Gardeners and Florists' Club.
Earlier in the day the Britishers had
visited the greenhouses of E. Vincent,
Jr., & Sons Co., at White Marsh. After
looking over the range of glass the visit-
ors were entertained at luncheon by.
Mr. and Mrs. Eichard Vincent, Jr. In
the afternoon the party returned to Bal-
timore, where they were taken in auto-
mobiles through the leading parks.
The visitors present were: J. S. Brun-
ton, of London, organizer of the trip to
this country; James and William Brown,
of Stamford; E. Barker, of Manchester;
W. A. Cull, C. Engelmann, J. L. Gunn,
L. M. Graves and G. Prickett, all lead-
ing horticulturists of England and fel-
lows of the Boyal Horticultural Society,
and C. Pratley, S. South and .T. Simp-
son, of London.

A Strong Endorsement
for BEGONIA GLORY Or CINCINNATI
C^E* G Hill^ one of the foremost growers of the time and well
known by name^ if not in person^ to every florist in the country,
in a paper read before the Illinois convention last February, said :
"Among miscellaneous plants J. A. Peterson is to be warmly congratulated
on his new begonia, Glory of Cincinnati. While surpassing the parent in beauty
of habit and of color, its splendid' keeping qualities maite it a house plant of
wonderful effectiveness and durability, while the parent variety always gave
concern for fear it might speedily • go down ' on removal from the greenhouse.
QLORY OF CINCINNATI BEQONIA PROBABLY R/^NKS AS PREMIER OF THE
ENTIRE LIST OF POT PLANTS."
Need we say more?
CL For June delivery, J 9 U, we arc now booking orders for Begonia Glory of
Cincinnati, $25.00 per 100, $200.00 per JOOO. Only strong young plants
from single-leaf cuttings will be shipped. Your early order will secure the
best stock. Colored plate sent free on application.

The Weekly Florists' Review.
Mabcb so, lull.
PITTSBUBO.
The Market.
Spring-like weather, with the accom-
panying winds and rain that we have
been having, seems to make plenty of
flowers — that is, if the appearance of
the wholesale houses is anything to go
You can get anything you want and
any quantity of it and almost make
your own prices. Boses and carnations
are certainly fine. Lilies are getting
larger as the Formosa variety gradually
disappears and giganteums take their
place.
Tulips are here in all colors and fine
valley; in fact, name what you want
and you get it, both good and cheap.
Various Notes.
The retail shops have been doing
nicely, as there has been quite a bunch
of funeral work, and they are getting
good stock cheap enough to satisfy
them. All of the shops are filled with
blooming plants and look well.
The McCailum Co. has been having
fine lilac and Beauties.
•The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is cut-
ting some fine cattleyas, quantities of
fine Killarney, White Killarney and
Richmond roses.
Chas. Koenig is sending in quantities
of fine tulips and Trumpets.
President John Jones of the Florists'
Club wants a large attendance at the
meeting Tuesday, April 4. The subject
is ' ' Easter Plants. ' ' He will have sev-
eral members give short talks along
these lines and then the report of those
who visited the "Big Show" will be
interesting, as the wise ones have all
gone to see it.
Brother Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., is the only patriarch in the
cut flower Isusiness in this city who can
boast off having two grandchildren.
Boys, be on hand at the next meeting
of the Florists' Club, for the smokes.
Klinke & Werheim opened their
new store in the Jenkins Arcade last
Saturday. They have an attractive
room and presented a creditable appear-
ance and, if the number who called to
congratulate them and express good
wishes are any indication, they should
have great success.
Monday was the worst day for wind
we have experienced for a long time.
The only report of damage so far is
from Chas. Koenig, Millvale, where
quite a lot of glass was blown out, and
from the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., at
Bakerstown, where quite a good deal of
broken glass kept all hands busy mak-
ing repairs.
Wm. Danzer, of John Breitmeyer's
Sons, Detroit, Mich., was a recent visi-
tor. Hoo-Hoo.

COLUMBUS, O,
The Market.
Stock has been quite plentiful here
for the last two weeks. Though there
was a great deal of funeral work and
other trade that used up lots of stoQk,
there was hardly any line of stock that
was not equal "to the demand. Koses
are of good color and the quality is all
that could be desired. Killarney and
White Killarney are taking the lead,
both for quantity and quality; the de-
mand is much heavier for them than
for any other variety. Red roses are
the only ones that have been a little
short in supply.
Carnations have been quite plentiful
and of good quality, and the demand
has been active. Sweet peas are com-
ing finely; several growers are just
starting to cut from the second sowing
and they have fine, long stems. Pot
plants have been moving well and there
has been a good supply in all seasonable
stock. Azaleas are fine and they take
the lead of all the better grades. Eho-
dodendrons, spiraeas, lilies, etc., are all
in fine shape.
Various Notes.
The Florists' Club held its last meet-
ing, March 28, at the establishment of
the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., and was
entertained after the meeting at a
luncheon. The dance given by the club
March 22 proved to be another pleasant
occasion and a success financially.
Sherman Stephens reports business
good in funeral work.
Leo Miller has two houses of lettuce
just ready for market, and this is keep-
ing them on the jump.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting heavily in carnations, roses and
sweet peas.
The Livingston Seed Co. reports coun-
ter trade for seeds, etc., quite heavy,
and cut flowers are moving well.
J. M.
Gary, Ind. — This city is to have a new
concern, to be known as the Gary Floral
Co. It is the project of a florist now in
business in the east, who sees a great
future for the city of steel.

EVANSVILLE, IND.
The Market.
There is nothing new to report about
conditions here. The business done the
last few weeks has been quite satisfac-
tory. Funeral work supplies the bulk
of the demand at present. Customers
are beginning to call for rose plants for
outdoor planting. Roses and carnations
are in good demand, are fairly plentiful
and of good quality.
Various Notes.
Julius Niednagel & Sons have been
busy and at times used all the flowers
they cut. Their delivery wagon was
run into by an automobile last week
and the shafts damaged considerably.
It happened just as the driver was turn-
ing into the driveway at the green-
houses.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is cut-
ting lots of roses and carnations and
enjoys a heavy call for them.
Ben Kramer reports a good business.
The boy he formerly employed has be-
gun work at Newburgh for Otto Kueb-
ler, as he wished to learn the growing
part of the business.
Henry Seymour has a good call for all
of his carnations.
J. C. Elsperman's business is satis-
factor}\
Nellie Goodge is cutting some excel-
lent carnations. E. L. F.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
At .1 recent meeting of florists and
market gardeners, held in the Commer-
cial Club rooms, plans were made for
the planting of flowers in the streets
and boulevards, in preparation for
Civic Celebration week. The hope was
expressed that this city might become
known as a "flower city," as well as
the Flour City. Addresses on the sub-
ject were made by Leroy Boughner,
chairman of the committee in charge,
and by H. L. Patthey and N. L.
Hughes. G. F. Eeeves, president of the
Market Gardeners' Association, and
George Libby, a former president, spoke
on Blatters of interest to the trade.

The Market.
Up to last week business was quite
satisfactory, but has taken a tumble
mnce then. Stock all around was plen-
tiful, with demand on the decrease; con-
sequently prices came down a few
notches. The only scarce articles were
American Beauties and Easter lilies.
Various Notes.
Spring was ushered in in grand style
March 21, for the thermometer regis-
tered 77 degrees in the shade at 3 p. m.
It remained fair till Sunday, at which
time it rained, while Monday we were
treated to snow with a quick drop in
temperature.
J. M. Fox & Son, who have occupied
the present location at 414 Milwaukee
street for many years, have been noti-
fied that the property has been sold.
J. Fox, Jr., says they have not yet de-
cided what to do.
The Milwaukee Florists' Club is in
much the same position, for the build-
ing in which the club held its meetings
has been sold and is to be replaced by
an up-to-date structure. At the meeting
next Thursday, April 6, the trustees are
expected to report the location of new
quarters.
A visit to the C. C. Pollworth Co.'s
greenhouses found everything looking
fine; the carnation range especially
never looked better and there is a
steady cut in sight for the rest of the
season. The young stock is also thrifty
and clean.
Fred Schmeling, on the Blue Mound
road, who was one of the first persons
to grow lilies for the local market, has
lost all faith in giganteum and says
that he will grow Formosa lilies ex-
clusively from now on. To judge by a
batch of the latter which he now has,
one must admit that they are fine.
At the Holton & Hunkel Co.'s green-
houses at Brown Deer, some exception-
ally fine Killarney and White Killarney
roses are being cut these days. This
company reports a strong demand for
Asparagus plumosus strings during the
last two weeks.

BV^^lio old relial>le firm, GOIff^Y ASCHFIANN, is not connected with any other firm and is more active than ever
Unexpected busineps preventeil us from exhibiting 'onr stock at the Boston Flower Show, Mareh 25, but we
^,.'., !■ kindly ask all of onr many customers of the past, artd nowl' if possible to come direct to our establishment, the
Great Factory of Live Stock, a Plant Producing Mill that Never Closes, and make a personal inspection of our
V stock. The Germantown, Chestnut Hill, or Willow Grove trolley, at 13th and 8th and Marjiet, will take you to

Prepare for Easter
Keep cool! Don't worry! Don't be downhearted! Cheer up! Your old, reliable friend of Philadelphia,
Godfrey Aschinaun, thinks of you, takes care of you and provides for you in hard times, in war times, in all
times. His big stock and his cheap priced of Easter stock will certainly pull you through Easter, IHll.
If you would know the fairest sigbt your eyes
can ever see.
Where the most perfect plants are grown, to
Asehmanu's come with me.
Why! Ne'er since flowers began to bloom was
such a glorious show
Of all the best that florists need found In one
place to grow.
The lilies are tlie very best yet seen on Easter
day.
Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect In
every way.
The Arauoarlas matchless are, s& are the ferns
all green.
With bulbs, and plumed Spiraea, the best you've
ever seen.
And Aschmann gives a challenge, let every florist
hear.
For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear.
If you wish to gather dollars like violets In
the spring.
Then send your largest order, his plants the cash
will bring.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Me.xico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many
years past, is sufilclent guarantee to prove our
Rbillty.
No joke— we have this year an immense
stock of Lilies— lilies to burn, to
beat the band. Order now
Easter Lilies, LUium multiflorum, the genuine
]apane«e Easter Lily, directly imported by us.
We have a friend in Japan who looks after our
Interests there. He picks out for us only the
good, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are growing, the lOln. bulbs, and therefore he
ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to burn; can supply. If
nothing happens, every customer and others
who want HIIrs. If you see them growing in oar
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where
other florists get 15c per bud, we only charge
you 10c per bud, for plants in 6-in. pots, having
a, 8, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plantn
Vnder 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-in. pots; in all
heights, green as grass, good foliage from bottom
up. Owing to lilies getting dearer every year,
tully .SO per cent of them have to be dumped
(we only keep the healthy ones for our cus-
tomers and others), illy growing is not profitable
and, as we sell our lilies cheap. It would bo
verv much appreciated If some other plants would
be Included in the order.
Spiraea Gladstone for Easter
What is a Home? What is a Store? What Is
a Church? What is an Easter present without
having a few plant*^ of the so much admired and
so greatly in demand Spiraea Qladstone? Oh,
those charming sprays of beautiful pure white
flowers! And the foliage, too, with its waxy,
deep green color Is a Jewel in itself. Mixed with
beautiful lilies and other blooming plants it will
complete the flower (Tecorations for your happy.
Joyful Easter of 1911. Knowing the great de-
mand for this plant the past Easters, when not
half our customers could be supplied, we are
well prepared this year for the rush and in
spite of the scarcity last fall in Holland when
other florists' supplies were cut short by Holland
growers, we were fortunate in obtaining enough
of the bulbs to fill two bouses and we are able
to supply all incoming orders promptly; 5Vi, 6
to 7-ln. pots, full of buds and flowers, and some
are as big as a wash tub. IS.V. ."iOc, 7.">c and

Mr. Phillips, Florist, Syracuse, N. Y., advises
Ds that the aster seed purchased from us
produced blooms that carried away the first prize
at the last N. Y. State Fair. In the growing and
the selection of this seed we exercised the most
painstaking care, positively allowing only two
or three Ideal blooms per plant, to mature seeds.
We have a small amount of this same seed in
stock and will sell It only In mixture of about
1000 seeds, comprising pure white, lavender,
pink and purple — about one-third the mixture
being pure white. Price, per packet of 1000

IS AZALEA MOLLIS HARDY?
"Why is it that Azalea mollis, adver-
tised in all the catalogues as hardy,
winter-kills in southern Kentucky, or
will it come up from the roots again?
J. E. R.
Azalea mollis should prove perfectly
hardy in your climate, as it grows and
thrives in much colder states than you
are located in. It is possible that it
may be less winter's cold than sum-
mer's drought which has killed your
plants. Give any others which you
may plant free summer cultivation. A
mulch of partly decayed leaves will
also help in keeping the roots cool and
moist. Many of these azaleas, grown
in low, black muck lands on the Euro-
pean continent, while excellent for
forcing purposes, are often failures out-
doors, just as are many so-called hardy
roses when similarly grown. C. W.

Greenhouse Heating.
CAPACITY OF BOrLEE.
I have a tubular boiler, of locomo-
tive type and containing seventy-five
square feet of heating surface. At
present it heats a house 16x50 feet,
used for a general stock of pot plants.
How much more glass will this boiler
handle, at carnation temperature, in
this Ohio climate? C. C. M.
In a house 16x50 feet a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees can be secured with
250 square feet of radiating surface
if hot water is used, and 150 square
feet if the house is heated with steam.
For a temperature of 60 degrees the
amount of radiation should be increased
nearly one-third. With conditions
fairly favorable, a boiler of the size
mentioned should be able to heat
nearly twice your present amount of
space to the temperature required for
carnations.
CRUDE OIL AS FUEL.
I always appreciate the information
to be found in The Review and I wish
at this time to ask a few questions
on a Subject that is of interest to
many florists on the Pacific coast. Can
crude oil be profitably used as fuel
where the heating of greenhouses is
done by the hot water system and
where the cost of cord-wood is, on
the average, $5 per cord and the price
of soft coal is $6 to $9 per ton? About
how much oil represents the equiva-
lent of a cord of wood or a ton of
average soft coal? "What would be
the average cost of installation of oil
burners in a Great Northern boiler,
46 by 56 in. by 12 ft.?
Electric power is obtainable. Would
it be possible or of advantage to use
compressed air as a substitute for
steam and have an electric motor to
furnish the pressure for spraying the
oil? Would such an installation pay
in a range which contains only 10,000
square feet of glass? Oil can be had
for $1 per barrel. I am located in
northwestern Oregon. J. G. B.
To get the best results with crude
oil, it is usually necessary to connect
the burner with a steam jet. At the
prices given for wood and coal, crude
oil would be found an economical fuel
at $1.25 to $1.50 per barrel, and at
$1 per barrel it would, of course, be
materially cheaper.
With electrical power, the use of

The Illustrations show why
CNote the many flues, s6t close toj^ether, leaving
but a small amount of water space, and yet every

Thus, every bit of heat does its work. The high

a saving of fuel.

week.
All the plant stands at Union Market
are now alive with blooming plants.
Messrs. Carr, Wilkinson and others say
they have had a good week, considering
the early season.
Frank Gorly, buyer for Grimm &
Gorly, says they had a busy week in '
their cut flower department. They are
handling a great lot of bedding plants
this season.
F. W. Bruenig and Messrs. Schray

STEAM TRAPS
RETURN
NON-RETURN
OU, Mr. Florist, can save fuel — cut down labor
— and grow better flowers by installing a
Morehead Return Steam Trap.
In the first place, there is only a few degrees
difference between the steam going into your heat-
ing system and the water of condensation coming
from the returns.
It is very foolish, therefore, to cool this water
down to a low temperature to pump back to the
boilers when, by the use of the Morehead Steam
Trap, the same water of condensation can be re-
turned directly to the boilers at a very much less
expense than by any other method and without los-
ing any of the heat contained in the condensation.
In the first place, to make steam from water, fuel
is required to bring this water to the boiling point
under the required steam pressure.
For every ten degrees added to the water by any
other means, there is a saving of 1% on fuel.
You can readily see that the cooling of the con-
densation from 250 degrees down to 212 or less, to'
accommodate your pump, means a considerable loss
of heat, fuel and money.
VACUUM CONDENSER
AMOEEHEAD Return Steam Trap will put this
water back into your boiler at a still higher
temperature than 250 degrees, and on 90%
less ste.am required by a pump for returning the
same quantity of water.
You then have a combined return trap and boiler
feed outfit that will prove out to be one of the best
investments you ever made.
The temperature in your houses is always kept
absolutely uniform, enabling you to grow better
flowers by reason of the improved conditions.
The Morehead Trap, when once installed, requires
little or no attention, thus enabling you to dispense
with extra help necessary to keep your heating sys-
tem in good order.
If you are having condensation difficulties, or if
you want to know about a better and more econom-
ical method of draining your particular steam lines,
feeding your boilers and save on fuel, water and
labor, write us for copy of "Trap Book," and our
trial offer proposition.
The * * Trap Book ' ' tells how condensation troubles
can be ended effectively, and considering results,
most economically. It will give you some new
ideas regarding steam and its distribution in the
greenhouse.

The Market.
Business last week was not quite as
brisk as it has been, due perhaps to its
being just at the change of seasons.
Flowers of every description are plen-
tiful and excellent in quality.
Various Notes.
E. A. Fetters had a distinguished
visitor in his store last week in the
person of Wm. Jenning-s Bryan. Mr.
Bryan was tendered a banquet at the
Fellowship Club and the table decora-
tions so struck his fancy that he made
it a point to meet the floral artist under
whose direction they were carried out.
Something really novel will be seen
on Detroit streets when the automobile
now being built for the Bemb Floral Co.
makes its appearance. A handsome
body, conforming to the tastes of A.
Pochelon, is being built upon a Federal
chassis. All the larger Detroit retail-
ers will soon be using autos for de-
livery purposes.
The Flower Shop recently put into
service a small, but good looking, deliv-
ery auto. It has a specially constructed
body on a Cadillac chassis.
• The largest number of palm-s ever
used at one decoration in this city were
distributed throughout the large Crow-
ley-Millner Co. store last Sunday by B.
Schroeter's force of men. Thousands
of carnations were also used, all the
employees being presented with a few
flowers as a corsage bouquet. Mr.
Schroeter also has the decorations for
the spring openings of the Traver-Bird
Co. and Newcomb Endicott & Co. This
accounts for this firm not being repre-
sented at Boston.
An error appeared last week in the re-
port of the reorganization of J. Breit-
meyer's Sons. The corporation has
been dissolved and a copartnership
formed in its stead, the members being
the same, namely, Philip Breitmeyer,
Harry Breitmeyer and Herman Klagge.

GALVANIZED IBON WOKE.
There has been some discussion
among heating experts as to the advisa-
bility of using galvanized pipe for heat-
ing greenhouses, and there seems to
be some difference of opinion as to how
much resistance the galvanizing produces
as a non-conductor of heat. I happen
to have some galvanized pipes in use
for steam heating and have looked into
the matter thoroughly. My conclusions
may, therefore, be of interest to some
of the growers. I find the difference in
heat radiation is slight and hardly
worth considering. In fact, I believe
a galvanized pipe radiates more heat
than either a well painted pipe or a
rusty one.
Another point that may well be men-
tioned is that even if there is a trifle
more radiation from new black pipe,
there is a corresponding saving of steam
in galvanized pipe. That is, even if
the pipes do not throw off quite so
mnch heat, the steam does not con-
dense so fast inside the pipes and there
is less difficulty in keeping them re-
plenished with fresh steam; therefore
there is no difference in the amount of
fuel used. The only difference is that
of first cost of installing the pipe.
Personally, I believe it would be bet-
ter if all the heating pipes were gal-
vanized. A galvanized pipe is galvan-
ized inside and outside. If you paint
a pipe, the paint is only on the outside
and will stick there only a short time.
The common black steel pipe on the
market nowadays is pretty poor stuff
and extremely short-lived around a
greenhouse. Wrought-iron pipe, the
old-fashioned, heavy, stiff kind, can not
be had any more, and this is to be re-
gretted, as it was almost as good as
galvanized pipe.
There is not enough of galvanized
material used in greenhouse construc-
tion. I do not see why people use so
mnch black iron work and then spend
more money in painting it than it would
cost to get galvanized ware. Galvan-
ized pipe gutter posts are the best posts
on the market today. They require no
paint at all, nor any cast base to set
them in, as they will not rust off at
grade level unless ashes, cinders, etc.,
are placed around them. They are as
strong and stiff as a cast post, or more
BO, and are the cheapest of all, consid-
ering the cost of painting, which must
be done again later. Galvanized scratch
pipe, culled out of best grade, is the
kind used for gutter posts and can be
purchased cut at the right lengths.
The same can be said of the purlin
supports. Galvanized purlins, whether

of using the black pipe in such places,
where it is carrying water most of the
time and is often lying in the dirt. I
heard of a grower recently, near Chi-
cago, who in building had his angle-
iron purlins and his ventilating ma-
chinery all galvanized, as well as much
other iron and steel work about the
greenhouse.
Galvanized hinges, nails and screws
can be purchased of the dealers in
greenhouse material, and common nails,
etc., should not be used at all. I could
never be induced to put in a trussed
house unless all rods, nuts, etc., were
galvanized. Cast iron does not rust
away, and good wrought iron, the kind
we used to get, is almost as good, but
the more the metal is worked the more
liable it is to rust. H. G.
LAND SALT.
What is land salt and how should it
be used? E. M.
Land salt is a somewhat coarse brand
of salt, which can be advantageously
broadcasted on land about to be seeded
down to hay. It kills out quantities of
weeds and does not injure the grass.
It is also valuable for applying to as-
paragus beds, and for spreading on road-
ways to kill out weeds. It is well to
apply it in dry weather, as it will then
kill out weeds more effectually.

An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured

The woven jacket construction makes a stronger
hose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and
absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening
at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on
cotton duck. "This construction also gives a more]
flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking.

CHARLTON AND AMPELOPSIS.
John Charlton, of Kochester, was the
tirst to ofifer Ampelopsis Veitchii in
America. His recollections of the event
were stirred by a recent note in the Gar-
deners' Chronicle, London, and he wrote
the editor of that journal in part as
follows :
"I claim to have been the first to
introduce and offer for sale this charm-
ing climbing plant in the United States.
I heard of Ampelopsis Veitchii when it
was exhibited at the first Paris Interna-
tional Exhibition by the Messrs. Veitch,
where it attracted much attention. It was
exhibited growing on a slab of bark, and
was beautiful and perfect in appearance.
The plant was sent out by James Veitch
& Sons in the fall of 1868 and spring of
1869. I procured plants of it, and, giv-
ing generous treatment and growing them
on quickly, I soon had a good stock from
cuttings. In October and November,
1869, I advertised it for sale in the Gar-
deners' Monthly, then published at Phil-
adelphia. This periodical was edited by
Thomas Meehan, a graduate of Kew, and
a man possessed of unusual knowledge of
trees, shrubs and plants, as well as of
all matters relating to gardening, and
whose memory I much revere. As the re-
sult of my advertising I sold two plants,
but I was not discouraged, being sure it
would be wanted in large quantities later
on, and the results have borne out my an-
ticipations. Its popularity here is increas-
ing from year to year, and from my sell-
ing two plants in the fall of 1869, 2,500
plants of it are now required annually for
our present needs. Ampelopsis Veitchii is
a unique, wonderful climber, adapting it-
self to all circumstances, and, as you say,
' growing an outline of its own, and filling
it in perfectly later on.' All things con-
sidered, I thank it is the most service-
able climbing plant in existence; when
planted in the right place it takes care of
itself.
"When first introduced I used it quite
freely in hanging baskets, vases, etc., with
good effect, as it made a first-rate droop-
ing plant. This variety has been exten-
sively planted in and around Boston,
where it has been dubbed the Boston ivy.
It is also called the Japanese ivy, but is
perhaps best known as Ampelopsis Veit-
chii, the name by which it will be known
the longest. I do not care if the systema
tist calls it Ampelopsis tricuspidata, or
Cissus, Vitis, Quinaria, Parthenocissus
tricuspidata, or Psedera. Gardeners will
have none of these names. They will
continue to call it Ampelopsis Veitchii as
long as grass grows and waters run."

HYDBANQEAS COMING WHITE.
I should like to get some information
about hydrangeas. I have about 700
5-inch and 6-inch pots of Ot&ksa com-
ing into bloom. Some of them are ma-
tured in growth, I think, as they meas-
ure six and eight inches across the
blooms, but they do not color up pink,
as usual. So far they are almost plain
white and they have been standing at
this stage for the last two weeks. They
are of my own growing and I have had
them for the last four or five years, but
this has never occurred before. Can
you give me the cause of this, or give
me some information as to coloring
them up pink, so that they may be
salable? W. C. K.
The hydrangeas have been hard
forced to get them in flower thus early
and strong heat has a tendency to take
the color out of the flowers. Give them
a slightly cooler house, where they will be
a little shaded from the direct rays of
the sun. Do not give any waterings of
strong liquid manure. The flowers will,
I think, gradually become pink in color.
The transition to pink from white is
less rapid now than in summer. Strong
heat and heavy feeding would each help
to take the color out of the flowers.
C. W.
AZALEA DEUTSCHE PEBIiE.
Where white-flowered azaleas are
needed early in the season, Deutsche
Perle is one of the best of all to grow,
as in a greenhouse temperature of 50
to 55 degrees it may be had in bloom by
Christmas. The flowers, too, are of con-
siderable substance, and though semi-
double when fully expanded, they are
in the bud state just like little rosebuds.
This azalea is of rather looser growth
than many varieties, owing to which
the trusses of flowers can be cut with
longer stems than many of them can.
There is no other variety of which such
numbers are sent to this country as
Deutsche Perle.

PRACTICALLY ALL GROWERS NOW REALIZE THAT BY
FAR THE BEST MATERIAL FOR GREENHOUSE BENCHES IS
PECKY CYPRESS
any other cypress except that it looks as
?^ere full of worm holes, but isn't; it is
It is like
though it were
especially like other cypress in that it has to be open
air dried in the south. It is dried until it weighs three
pounds to the board foot, or 3,000 pounds to the thou-
sand feet. Consequently 10,000 feet will make a min-
imum car. We can ship from our yards to the central
states, or direct from the mills in Louisiana to florists
in New England and to growers in the far west, and it
is only a question of time when all growers will use it.
It doesn't take so very many feet of bench to call
for a minimum car of pecky cypress. It comes 1x6 inches
and the boards eight to twenty feet long. With about
an inch between for drainage, a bench four feet wide
will take seven boards, or three and one-half feet lum-
ber measure for each lineal foot of bench. Side pieces
bring it up to four and one-half feet. Consequently a
minimum car, 10,000 feet of lumber, would suflfice for
only twenty-two benches 4x100. The average car con-
tains 13,000 to 15,000 feet.
If you don't need a car yourself, get your neigh-
bors to club In with you and order a car* :: :x

SOILS AS EELATED TO SPOBTS.
Some time ago I told in The Keview
about a variegated sport of "White En-
chantress which I had found on one of
my benches. I now have several plants
of Alma Ward that have produced some
fine variegated blooms and I have also
had other varieties of carnations that
have shown variegations during the last
few years, or, in fact, ever since I have
been in business as a grower.
Someone has suggested the possibility
of the soil having something to do with
the tendency toward sporting. Has this
been made the subject of investigation?
It certainly would be a matter worthy
of careful research. There must be some
law of nature which, if understood,
could be profitably made use of in this
connection. "What do other readers of
The Beview know about this subject?

IVY ON QEAVES.
I planted several graves with hardy
ivy during the spring of 1909 and have
covered them for the last two winters.
When they are uncovered this spring,
should they be trimmed out or cut back
to keep them within bounds? F. M.
Probably the ivy will be somewhat
brown after being uncovered and ex-
posed to the sun and wind for a few
days. You need not worry about this,
however, as the plants will soon make
new growth sufficient to hide any im-
perfections. Merely cut them back to
hold them within bounds and head back
any much browned shoots, or straggling
ones. C. W.

The Lenox Horticultural Society held
a monthly meeting in its rooms in the
town building Saturday evening, March
18, and had a splendid display of car-
nations and roses. A first-class certifi-
cate was awarded to Robert Scott &
Son, of Sharon Hill, Pa., for the new
yellow rose, Melody, which was exhib-
ited by S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of
Philadelphia. Another first-class cer-
tificate was awarded to the same con-
cern for the new rose. Double Pink Kil-
larney, and a vote of thanks was given
A. J. Lovelace, superintendent of Wynd-
burst, the estate of Mrs. John Sloane,
for a vase of lupines.
The judges were Edward Jenkins, su-
perintendent of Belief ontaine; J. W.
Pybus, who has charge of the green-
bouses on the Salisbury estate, in Pitts-
field; George A. Breed, superintendent
of Naumkeag, the estate of Joseph
Choate, of Stockbridge, and Walter
Jack, superintendent of Spring Lawn.
The following new members were ad-
mitted: James Masterson, who has
charge of the greenhouses at the Spoor
estate, in Pittsfield; William Hooper,
Christopher Schwab and William Grif-
fin, of this city. There was a program
of music and recitations, Walter Jack
reciting and George Foulsham, William
Hooper and Robert Leslie rendering
vocal solos.
Freeport, N. Y. — ^John Kopp, of 46
Colonial avenue, has filed a petition in
bankruptcy. He states that his liabili-
ties are $9,306.25. His assets consist of
two parcels of real estate which are val-
ued at $3,350.

"Any fool knows that," you say. But do they? If so, then why are
some of the growers still jollying themselves into thinking there is real
money saved by buying cheap houses and constantly repairing and even
replacing them every few years?
It's not the money you save that counts — it's the money you make —
so you can save it. Don't keep on squeezing that pint measure. Buy a
money maker — our Iron Frame or Half Iron Frame House.

KroescheU Replaces Three
(3) Cast Iron Boilers.
We purchased of you this spring a
No. (i Kro«>8chell Boiler, which yon
(guaranteed would take the place of
three ra«t iron boilers. Well.
the whole thing In a nutshell is this
— your word is as good as gold.
NiRlit beforo last we bad a severe
storm of snow and sleftt and a very
high wind; wc had not the least bit
of trouble. We flred tlie last at lU
p. m.. November 24th, and the next
morning at 7 o'clock we looked at
the houses and found itonly Ideifree
less than when we flred the last coal. 9 hours ear-
lier. If tbis isn't magnificent work and a good
test, we would be pleased to hear from anyone
else that could furnish a better boiler. We know
if parties wishing a boiler would get one from
you they never would try any other. We think
in 5 years' running of this boiler we will have
the pricf saved in the difference in our coal bill.
Wishing you the best of success, we remain,
Very truly yours,

WHAT THE USERS SAY
Cast Iron BoUers Cause
Freeze-out— KroescheU
Boilers no Worry.
I bought a No. 2 boiler in 19()2.
Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass-
would take care of 2000 more. I have
had a cast Iron boiler, but it
broke down twice in four
years, always in the coldest wea-
ther. It broke down Dec. 29. I'.KM.
and I lost all my stock in con-
seiiuenoe. I have now two No. 2

The KroescheU Does Our Work Easier
than Cast Iron BoUers and
Saves 20 to 25% Fuel.
The No. 4 boiler is heating 10,000 s<i. ft. of
glass— it would take care of 13.00() sq. ft. easy.
Have no trouble to keep temperature of 60 and
(30 degrees in coldest weather. The boiler has
given perfect satisfaction. We had two cast-iron
boilers, one rated for 1200 ft. of pipe and one
rated for li>00 ft. These boilers never did the
work at their best and when the greenhouses
were new. According to our experience with
yours, we will save 20 to 2S per cent of fuel.

THE " UMBRELLA." EOSE
Some day, let us hope, the process of
color printing will be so perfected that
it can be applied to newspaper work.
Nothing short of the time-consuming
processes of printing will do justice
to such a subject as the ram-
bler rose shown in the accom-
panying illustration, photographed in
a flower store last Easter. The
plant was grown in Philadelphia,
but it was a feature of a retailer's dis-
play in a western city and attracted
much attention, not only because of the
unusual shape, but because of the pro-
fusion of bloom, the delicacy of color-
ing and the artistic effect created by
the mingling of the pink and white rib-
bon with the green foliage and the pink
and white blooms. The "Umbrella"
rose was the name applied to it by
nearly everyone who visited the store.
Such plants are not ready sellers in
anything but the minority of flower
stores. This plant had a selling price
of $15, of which a good part was ac-
counted for by the fine gold finished
basket, zinc lined, in which the pot fit-
ted with exactness, being effectually
concealed by the mossy covering over
the soil. A few such plants are a spe-
cially good investment from an adver-
tising point of view. Even though the
plants be not sold, they serve to relieve
the sameness of the stock of Easter
staples — the lilies, the azaleas and the
bulbous stock; they give the customer
something to exclaim over before turn-
ing to the serious business of purchas-
ing, and they give almost every visitor
something to tell his friends about.
Help them to talk.
EASTER WINDOWS.
Choosing the Accessories.
Gray and brown might not be a first
choice for Easter colors themselves, but
nobody will deny that they are excel-
lent settings for the spring tints of
lavender and pink. There are no better
colors, then, for baskets and pot covers,
neglecting for once the too trying pinks,
which fit the Lorraine begonias, but
quarrel with cyclamens and primulas.
These grays and browns agree with the
yellows, oranges, reds and heliotropes
alike. When it comes to buying sup-
plies, beware how you indulge in bril-
liant mats, basket trimmings and pot
covers. For one thing, they fade soon,
and at best are suitable for perhaps
only one shade or tint of a brilliant
color. More than this, an accessory
which rivals the color of the flower de-
tracts from, rather than adds to, its
beauty. Invest the same amount of
money in cocoa fiber and bark covers.
Although more expensive, they are also
more refined. You can soon educate
your trade to add enough to the selling
price of the plant to cover the cost oi
the cover.
Cheap Trifles or Real Art.
Eefrain from investing in cheap trifles
and you will find the money for the
Pink Rambler in Gold Basket.
better accessories. The average store
is cluttered with a lot of material which
has neither artistic nor commercial
value. What you can save in this way
may be invested in movable mirrors,
Japanese screens and other art treasures
which you can pick up from time to
time.
To display advantageously that star
of Easter plants, the azalea, arrange for
a special window, if for no more than
one day. The lighter varieties are best
displayed with a black and gold Japa-
nese screen as a background. A fair
number of plants will thus make as
large a display as twice the number
without some such assistance.
Spiraeas are best displayed in tall
groups, rising here and there from a
field of shorter plants. For another
plan of the same style, cut snapdragons,
carried higher and set in a field of
spiraeas, would make a good display.
A good special Easter design could be
devised of a tall, standing cross of
Easter lilies rising from a field of pur-
ple and violet cinerarias.
An Easter Egg.
Anything in the egg line, of course,
makes an especially suitable Easter fea-
ture. If you can not get an egg frame
made, fit up a frame of heavy wire
screen. Cut a jagged hole where the
chick is supposed to pick its way out.
Cover the outside with a layer of sphag-
num and also fill the inside solidly,
except where the cut is and as far back
as can be seen. Cover the outside with
one kind of cream or white flowers — with
carnations if it be a large egg. Three
feet in length, completed, is a good
show size. Finish the interior, as far
as it shows, with yellow or pink. Some
nice workmanship will be necessary to
get a good shape on the egg and to
finish the edges and interior.
Set the egg in the window in a thicket
of pussy willows or fruit blossoms. As
a, setting, arrange a prominent group of
lilacs and hydrangeas or Easter lilies.
Let the foreground be composed of a
path of green moss leading from the
egg. Along this path a troop of stuffed
ducklings, in interesting poses, can be
placed, the head of one barely appear-
ing from the inside, one or more in the
act of jumping out, and the others mak-
ing their way along the path in Indian
file. Border this path with low
pans of bulbous flowers or ferns. With
a little freshening each day, this design
will last a week or so, and is a good re-
minder for the week before Easter. If
it could be arranged to have live duck-
lings, they, of course, would add to the
effect.
Displays of Low Plants.
It is a mistaken idea that the low
growing plants must always be dis-
played in a low position. True, a por-
tion of the display must be well down
on the floor, but if an unbroken line of
the chosen color is carried from the
lower mass as high as practicable, they
are well displayed.
Suppose we are arranging a window

BASKETS OF BAMBLEBS.
The plant basket shown on this page
was one of the most attractive seen in
a Chicago flower store last Easter, where
it was tagged Avith a selling price of
$12. The braided basket was of pink
and white, excellently in keep'ng with
the character of the occasion. The Crim-
son Eamblers were s|)lendidly flowered
and the spiraea at the fullness of its
actual article on display; when the cus-
tomer has made his selection the plant

The Early Preparations.
Be careful of every detail of the col-
oring of your Easter baskets. If you
must use a heliotrope-tinted basket for
ifuid azaleas, restain it or cover it with
new material. (Jut oft" any faded straw
trimmings and wrap the handle with
fiber ribbon or satin.
Pans for baskets should be planned
some weeks in advance of Easter, with
due reference to the coloring and gen-
eral adaptability of the plants to one
another. The decorations can be added
quickly at any time.
The average holiday plant basket is
filled as full as the pan will permit and
some on top, stuffed to the brim. The
aim seems to be to fill every inch of
space, from the bottom of the pan to
the top of the handle, religiously set-
ting every plant bolt upright and aim-
ing at a pyramid shape for the group.
■r^'»^l«l al* fcl

beauty. There were in addition several
plants of Dr. Encke azalea and some
ferns and adiantum. The ribbon was
dark green, a shade darker than the
foliage of tho spiraea and just a shade
lighter than the rose foliage. A coun-
terpart of the basket without the ribbon
was not nearly so eflfective.
The store in which these baskets were
shown pursues the policy of selling the
Half the material, arranged with a fair
mixture of common sense, would bring
as much if not more money. Study and
plan the grouping of the plants and the
blending of the foliage, both as to color
and form.
With a Kentia in the Center.
Select a tall, slender plant, such as a
kentia palm, for the center — not the
center of the basket, but of tne group —
and assemble under it, close together,
'two or three plants oj^iOlwe^ growing;
Habit; tO' ayoid"iivaliog the kentia in'
■ height or style.
..\ Afii to cororing, there* are as many,
tones 0^ ^r'feen as of any other color.
Tii^re; are vi6let, greeiris, red greens, yel-',
low greens,, blue greens, in innuinerable '
variations aiid combinations, and one i
should be as careful of these as we ever
are of reds and scarlets and pinks. With
the kentia we will group a short ram- [
bier rose, a table fern or two and a Eex
begonia, and on the far edge a sprink-
ling of white crocus, through which a
duckling is pushing his way to see the
world.
Other Arrangements.
A bulbous basket will take in a com-
bination such as Easter lilies, yellow
tulips, crocus and purple pansies. Tiny
square and round baskets of pansies and
crocus would surely sell, while a more
elaborate arrangement of ericas, roses,
or bulbous stock and Farleyense would
be higher priced.
Another: A Boston fern with a mar-
guerite plant and candidum lilies. Trim
a high-handled basket with tree cat-
kins, a spray or two of peach blossoms
in an underground vase, a Spiraea Glad-
stone and some Murillo tulips.
Azaleas are better with no company
in baskets, unless it is a handle trim-
ming of outdoor material, and a moss
and pansy plant covering for the soil.
"Whatever grouping is undertaken, let
no one plant interfere with the lines of
another. Let them fall into the same
lines and groups of lines. Be liberal
with vacancies and openings among the
foliage. Tilt a plant against the edge
of the basket once in a while. Make
the view agreeable from every side of
the basket. Gertrude Blair.
WHEEE EXTBEMES MEET.
In the Easter stock of the up-to-date
flower store there must be a meeting of
extremes — some customers demand the
extreme of simplicity, while others are
not to be satisfied with anything less
than the most elaborate plant combina-
tion the florist can provide. As an ex-
ample of extremes, take the big basket
of azaleas, Soupert roses, primulas and
crotons figured in the illustration on
page 29, and for its antithesis there is
the crocus and scilla arrangements on
page 31. These simple flowers of spring
have proved good sellers among the
class of trade of discriminating taste.
In the illustrations both crocuses and
scillas are in pottery in the form of
baskets, with grape embellishments. Of
course these high-class receptacles rep-
resent rather more in the selling price
than do the flowers themselves, and
such stock is not to be offered where
the class of trade handled will not stand
for a fair price. • ♦
On the other hand, in the big combi-
nation baskets the receptacle usually
represents only a small part of the total
cost of the arrangement. This class of
thing usually appeals most strongly to
the flower buyers who have not had
their money long enough to feel quite
natural with it; they arc willing to
give up $1"), or $25 or more, providing
the arrangement is sufficiently showy.
It must be large and it must be full
of plants. The ribbon is almost as es-
sential as any other part of the com-
bination.
For the average flower store a happy
medium is to be sought. There should

The Selaginella Gives the Finishing; Touch on These Admirable Baskets of Tulipi.
bo, in every Kaster display, some big,
show}' baskets and there should be a
number of things that can be sold for
50 cents to $1, but the l;ulk of the
Easter business is to be done with plant
arrangements that i-au l)e sold at from
$3 to $5. They must look to be worth
the money, so it is well to guard against
the use of too high priced accessories.
Don't use baskets that cost so much
you cannot add the cost and at least
half as much more to tlie selling i)rice
of the plants you use for filling. Also,
buy a few of many styles of basket
pot cover, rather than many of a few
styles.
A COLLAR OF SELAGINELLAS.
Those who play to win will tell you
that "the game's the thing," and, of
course, the plant 's the thing in an
Easter arrangement. Still, the effec-
tiveness and salability of an Easter
basket of plants is largely the result
of good taste in the selection of an
appropriate receptacle for the particu-
lar plant to be used, with such a finish-
ing touch as is given by the selaginel
las in the tulip pans shown on this page.
The small ferns used to finish off the
baskets improved the appearance of the
arrangements out of all proportion to
the small cost of the stock used. The
basket on the left of the illustration
was finished in silver. It contained six-
teen La Reine tulips, and, with the
selaginellas planted around the edge to
conceal the soil, the nakedness between
the basket and the blooms was effec-
tively done away with. The baskfet on
the right contained twenty-four red
tulips, the color combining effectively
with the gold finish of the pot cover,
liere, too, the selaginellas were just the
touch to give an artistic finish.
Anyone can plant tulips in a pan, but
there are no great number of the stores
handling bulb pans at Easter that sto;>
to cover the soil from sight. Sonu» use
green moss, which is a great deal better
than nothing, but the small ferns are
the best of all. it is to the plant ar
raiigement what the lace collar is to
miladv's costume.
THE VARIEGATED PINEAPPLE.
Ananas sativus variegatus is an all
the year-round plant, but it is an espe
cially good Easter subject. The illustra
tion on page 30 shows the variegated
pineapple in a gold basket. The ]dint v.as
removed from the pot in which it was
grown and planted directly into the
glass dish within the basket. The re-
tailer who showed these in his Easter
display last year sold his entire stock in
short order, though he was wise enough
to have not more than two of tlie plants
on view at any one time; each one as
sold was tagged in the customer's ))res
ence and set away for delivery, this
retailer having found that it is much
easier to sell a novelty when only a
few are shown, creating the impression,
without saying to, that not many cus
tomers will be fortunate enough to be
supplied.
GERANIUMS AT EASTER.
If you never have tried it, it will
surprise you how many i)eople will buy
geraniums at Easter. Of course, they
<lo not want the plant in a red pot —
they want small sizes carrying fair
trusses of bloom planted in some snrtll
oddity in the way of a receptacle, such
as are shown in the two illustrations
on page 35. In one of these illus
trations the receptacle was one of the
small so-called Roman boxes, while the
other was in a green glazed basket
shaped dish. In the latter case the re
ceptacle represented $3 of the selling
price and the geraniums $1.50, at which
both turned the retailer a good profit.
Shown in the same illustrations are
some small ericas in one of the white
waterway affars, and in the other are
some crocuses in one of the green enam-
eled tin receptacles, this one containing
three of the little white square china
jars that these latticework affairs are
made to hold.
POPULAR PRICED PLANTS.
Jt was a good many years ago that
the retailers catering to the high class
trade in big cities began to offer com-
binations of flowering plants, arranged
iu , baskets or hampers. At the start
the ten<lency was toward large arrange-
.nuMjts, containing a groat variety of
stock, aiKi perhaps it was for this rea-
so'i that the custom made little progress
outsid(> the larger cities — t was a num-
ber of years before the retailers in
towns of 50,000 ]ioi)ulation or less be-
gan to offer plant arrangements, employ-
ing the accessories used in the largo
cities. For a long time the retailers in
(he i)rovincial cities thought their trade
(lid not care for the embellishment of
l>lants; they sa'd their people would
not pay a price which would meet the
cost of the accessories, let alone turning
a i)rofit on them. Now all this is
changed. Within the last few years
florists in the smaller cities, and even
in the country towns, have found that
an appropriate combination of plant
and receptacle doubles salability; scarce-
ly anyone will buy even a single pot of
Kaster lilies unless the pot is covered
with crej)e pa{)er, if nothing more.
The tendency of late years has been
away from the big combinations of
plants; now the majority of plants of-
fered for Easter sale are shown simply
one variety planted in an appropriate
receptacle. The illustrations on pages

Al'RIL 6, 1»11.
32 and 33 show such combinations of
plant and plant receptacle. In one of
these hyacinths are shown in a green,
unglazed jar, the color being slightly
darker than the color of the foliage.
In another is a Dr. Encke azalea trans-
ferred from its pot into the inner re-
ceptacle of one of the delicate white
china jardinieres. In another, several
primulas are shown in one of the gold
baskets which have been so popular of
late. This was an oval basket. Still
another of the combinations shows a
genista in a dumb-bell shaped receptacle
of green, unglazed pottery, which at-
tracted by its oddity as well as by the
tastefulness of the combination. The
yellow of the flower and the yellow of
the ribbon rosette combined most har-
moniously with the green of foliage and
receptacle. All of these articles sold
like hot cakes last Easter in a store
the proprietor of which says frankly
that though he caters to an exceedingly
well to-do trade, the bulk of his sales
are on just such articles priced at from
about $3 to $7.50.
GENISTA AND GOLD.
Gold has recently been having a phe-
nomenal run with the supply houses;
gold baskets have been used in some
stores almost to the exclusion of every-
thing else, though the average florist
finds that it is better policy to buy a
few pieces of a great many diflferent
styles than to stock up heavily with
any one kind of plant receptacle. How-
ever, for some plants nothing is so well
suited as the gold basket; for the gen-
ista it is the acme of appropriateness.
The plant shown in the illustration on
this page presents an especially harmo-
COST OF DELIVERY.
The Old Method and the New.
The retail florist in a large city has
many trials and tribulations, as we all
know. One of the difficulties to solve is
the punctual delivery of our goods to
widely separated sections of the city,
perhaps on the same morning, at the
least possible expense. Quite a few re-
tail florists have turned to the motor car
as a means of facilitating their deliv-
eries, and in the issue of the Review for
March 9 the writer compared the advan-
tages of the auto and the horse, with all
points seemingly in favor of the former.
Every phase was considered, excepting
one — the relative cost. This, of course,
is one of the most important points and
should be carefully gone into before in-
vesting in an auto. The writer could
conceive of no better way of getting at
the facts than by taking up the matter
with a number of florists using horses
and autos in diflferent cities. Conse-
quently a list of questions was mailed to
some fifteen retailers now using autos.
The answers were incomplete; still I
was able to make the following deduc
tions:
The Horse.
First of all, let us consider the gen-
eral method of delivery — the horse. As
no two firms work under just the same
conditions or follow the same rules for
making deliveries, we will have to treat
this matter in a general way. Some flo-
rists keep a number of wagons busy all
day, while with others one horse can do
all the work.

ous arrangement, the yellow flowers,
the green foliage and the gold basket,
the latter, of course, lined with tin,
going together as though made particu-
larly for the purpose. The eflfect was
Btili further improved by the addition
of the gold tie knotted on the handle of
the basket.
In this comparison we will consider ii
firm requiring two one horse wagons to
liandle the deliveries on ordinary days.
Where two horses are used practically all
day, three horses must be kept in order
to give each one an occasional rest. Aver-
aging the figures, we get the following in
vestment and operating expense:
THE HORSK.
Invested.
Two fairly good florists' delivery wagons
will cost about $ 600.00
Three good horses will cost 450.00
Two good sets of harness will cost.... 80.00
Toial investment $1,130.00
, Operation and Maintenance.
Feed' and bedding per year at $2.80 per
weeli -per horse $ 436.80
Shoeing at $2 per month per horse 72.00
Veterinary surgeon's services 50.00
One of the greenhouse employees is
usually called upon to look after the
stable, this costing probably 50c per
day 182.50
Uepair on wagons and harness 35.00
Heating wagons < 25.00
Depreciation on Investment at 10%.. 113.00
Two drivers' wages at $10 per weelt. . . . 1,040.00
Interest on investment at r>% 56.50
Insurance 15.00
One year's cost $2,025.80
Of course these figures may not fit any
individual case, but they represent the
average florist's expense in operating
two one-horse wagons.
The Automobile.
To arrive at the cost of operating an
automobile delivery car is a little more
difficult than to figure the cost for a
horse and wagon, for the reason that the
cost of repairs depends largely upon the
way the machine is handled and on the
further fact that most florists' machines
are new; the cost for upkeep may in-
crease when the autos are older.
This is the way the autos average up
with the retailers who gave me their
figures:
THE AUTOMOBILE.
Invested.
One good auto delivery car will readily
iifconiplish as much as two or even
three onf-horse wagons, providing the
auto is in the liands of a good man.
This car will cost, equipped $1,400.00
Operation and Maintenance.
.\vcragc (lailv mileage. 4.' miles per
ilav. or l'6,42o miles per year of
.'{65 days , ^„„ ^„
Tire expense at 2c per mile $ 328.50
Uasoline and lubricating oil at li/4c per „„_ „.
mile 205.31
Repairs per year -x9"XX
Chauffeur's wages at $15 per week '^-^X
Insurance, fully protected 125.00
Interest on investment at 5% 70.00
Depreciation at 15% per year 210.00
One year's cost $1,768.81
An auto can readily be heated from the heat
of the muffler, thus effecting a saving of $25
per year.
There is no doubt that the cost of
operating an auto or delivering with
iiorses varies considerably under different
conditions. These, of course, every man
should know. One thing remains a fact:
gasoline, lubricating oil, tires, repairs,
etc., cost just about the same, be it in
New York or some little town on the
western coast. Autos are also the same
price almost everywhere in the United
States.
The above figures are as nearly cor-
rect as could be obtained, and no par-
tiality was shown either method. They
speak for themselves. The auto has
solved, or will solve, the delivery prob-
lem to a large extent. It is the initial
cost that deters many, but once used 1
think you will never go back to the horse.
The proprietor of the business with which
the writer is connected is an exceptionally
conservative man and was skeptical about
purchasing an auto for delivering. It is
now nearly a year that it has been in use
and it has proven a paying investment.
Of course, with a firm that requires
only one wagon, the proportion of the
cost would be somewhat different. In the
first place, a less expensive machine could
be purchased. Then the mileage would
be cut in half, meaning a considerable re-
duction in operating expenses. Painting
and overhauling of wagons and autos has
not been taken into consideration, as both

need the same treatment in this respect.
Still, one auto will cost less for painting
than two wagons.
With the above conclusions arrived at,
what kind of a car should we purchase!
In this matter I will endeavor to give a
few pointers in a future issue.

SOME SIMPLE COLOR LAWS.
Colors, Tints and Shades.
In addition to the principle stated
in the last chapter of this article, as
to the opposite colors in the circle be-
ing harmonious in combination, as well
as their dependent tints and shades,
we are about to arrive at another im-
portant principle, which can be dis-
cussed after we obtain a clear under-
standing of the terms, tint and shade.
A pure color is the normal tone.
A tone is any grade of a named color.
A tint is a light tone of any color. A
shade is a dark tone.
Since any flower is composed of two
or more colors, it is likely to run into
tints and shades of all these colors.
As we learned in the last chapter, the
fact that one flower is composed of
this system of colors makes its color
plan !i complex one to begin with.
Then, when we come to combining
these complex systems of color de-
signing one with the other, unless we
have color instincts we are going to
be lost in the maze. It follows that
putting two flowers of different colors
together is no trifling matter.
The Allowable and the Admirable.
All these delicate color influences de-
termine the niceties of fine harmony
and make the differences between al-
lowable and exquisite coloring. For
example, many pink and lavender
sweet peas make fair combinations,
but, if you wish to strike a chord
of perfect harmony, select a rich, dark
violet and set it close to a light laven-
der pink, and this illustrates our next
principle, as expressed in these words:
The deeper shades of a normal color
are best combined with the lightest
tints of its own or a harmonious color.
This principle, namely, the common
color strain which runs through all
parts of a harmonious combination, is
clearly discerned in the color scheme
of any blooming plant, which invari-
ably shows a tint or shade of one of
its normal colors running through
flower, bud, seed, foliage and stem.
Take as an illustration a cineraria. A
purple one will show a lavender tint
under the leaves or on the stems.
Sometimes it w^ill be a reddish laven-
der; sometimes it will be a more de-
cided blue lavender. In either case it
is an excellent illustration of the fact
that red and blue make purple. The
general tone of the upper foliage will
be that of a purple green, rather than
a yellow green or any other green.
This law of color association refers
not only to the combining of two or
more colors in flowers, but also to the
selection of extra green, the recep-
tacles, the ribbon or any
cessorj',
other ac-

EASTEB FBEPABEDNESS.
Ananas Sativus Variegatus.
Thinking in Colors.
Practice in color combination is like
drill in mental arithmetic. You can
think in colors. A proposed combina-
tion can be tested out in your mind.
You can also determine, bj' examina-
tion of a plant, whether such and such
colors will combine well.
Many people, as they tliink they
advance in taste, taboo combinations.
Not so the observant student. He sees
before him nature always mixing,
blending, producing harmony in con-
trasts. You see a broad expanse of
summer sky, touched by a white fleece
in a far-away point and cut into by
the browns, the greens and the grays
of the distant horizon, not to mention
the reds and the yellows of the fore-
ground.
He must learn, then, to analyze as
well as to combine, to observe as well
as formulate, to enjoy as well as man-
ufacture.
Every day, as education advances,
customers become more critical and ob-
servant. In the long run, he who is
in advance in the matter of taste will
not only be the greater factor in edu-
cating his clientage, but will be the
gainer financially. The discriminating
trade will swing toward him.
Gertrude Blair.
THE COUNTERIiESS STORE.
The modern high class flower store
contains no counters. It is impossible
to make an artistic <lisplay of stock in
a store arranged like the typical dry
goods establishment, with r.n aisle down
the center, counters and wall cases.
Especially at such a time as Easter it
becomes desirable to have the extra
space provided by the removal of coun-
ters. Most Easter plants can be shown
standing on the floor and plant stands
are available where improved effect is
to be had by elevation.
The illustration of the flower store
.sans counters came to The Review just
after Easter last year. There was no
mark about it, not even a postmark, to
indicate what store it is, or where. But
it serves as an excellent example of
the arrangement now adopted by <the
retailers who cater to the better class
of trade. There is an atmosphere about
a, store so furnished and !<tocked that
speaks for the character of the service
given. It appears that here salesmen
aud customers meet on an equal footing
and that tlieir relations are likely to be
so pleasant that one as well as the
other will wish to renew them at an
earlv date.
In Oreenhouse and Store.
Flora 's greatest festival is now near
at hand. Easter has no such evidence
of antiquity as Christmas — that it ex-
isted as a festival among heathen tribes
or nations, nor can you summon such
an array of folk lore to embellish it.
Yet there is good evidence that it was
an important event ages before the
sacred events occurred with which
Christianity connects it.
Enough for the historical. From what
I can hear, lilies seem to be plentiful
for Easter; also they are of pretty good
quality. Do not move a lily from a
warm house to one 15 or 20 degrees
cooler unless the buds are white and
are ready to burst open. After that
they will expand in almost any tem-
perature.
Of late we have had many days of
bright sunshine, which has tended to
upset our calculations, especially on
bulbous stock. Shading to keep off the
direct rays of the sun will help greatly.
As yet rhododendrons show little
signs of opening their buds, but when
they finally do start to open the plant
is shortly full of bloom. The great ma-
jority of azaleas will be early. A good
way to retard them is to set them under
a high bench and cover with tissue
paper.
We are all crowded just now, and we
must maneuver. Think what is of most
value to you, and some things not so
important must give place to those that
are paramount.
Do not expect all the buds on the
hybrid perpetuals to be out at once. It
is not the way of a rose, and your cus-
tomer will be more pleased if a few
flowers are expanded and a few buds
arc to come. I have found there is a
growing preference among the people
for a plant with some buds yet to come.
Selling and Delivery.
Of course you have all had advice
about being prepared for the Easter
rush, for it is sure to come, no matter
v.hat the weather is. I do not propose

to go into detail now, because any hints
I could give would be a repetition of
the old story. Be in a perfect state of
preparedness and put nothing oflf. Pro-
vide yourself with plenty of efficient
help. Other trades take on a lot of
extra help at the rush time, and if it
is not as efficient as your steady help,
no harm can come of it, for your cus-
tomers, seeing the place full and a rush
of business, will not expect the same
treatment thej^ would get in ordinary
days.
The trimming or decorating of all
plants sent out nowadays has grown to
be a great feature of the business. You
must keep to the front in this, as well
as in other features. The smallest plant
is never sent out or handed to a cus-
tomer unless the pot is enveloped with
green paper tied with ribbon to match.
As the article rises in value the decora-
tion becomes more elaborate, and if you
do what you ought you will charge
enough to cover the cost. Many a plant
of poor appearance or imperfect form
is sold through the judicious use of
accessories.
The retailer who has only a limited
area of a city store is terriblv con-
gested at Easter, and the man who has
a conservatory at his back, or a range
of glass in connection, is to be con-
gratulated.
Division of labor is a great thing. It
does not take a great schooling to teach
a young man to trim a plant tastefully,
and the most handy at that may be a
poor salesman. Good salesmen should
not be expected to do the work that
much cheaper help can do as well.
OnjB of the most trying things con
nected with these busy times is the de-
livery. At least eighty-five per cent of
our sales have to be delivered. It is
money made, and made quickly, to have
a man who understands the city and is
able to map out the trips in their suc-
cessive, prder. Give particular attention
to this end of the business.

Newark, N. J. — The Magnolia Floral
Co. has been incorporated here, with a
capital stock of $25,000. to engage in
both wholesale and retail business.
THE USE OF LEAF-MOLD.
I should like to know whether leaf-
mold is good for carnations and gera-
niums, as I have a chance to get as
much as 1,000 loads right from the
woods. If well rotted, would this make
a good soil for greenhouses? If you
have had any experience with this kind
of soil, I should like to know all
about it. C. W. C.
Leaf-mold is a most excellent potting
medium for many varieties of plants,
but it is too light to be of any value
for carnations and geraniums. While
they will grow fairly well in soil con-
taining a proportion of leaf-mold, they
succeed much better in loam. How-
ever, for sowing seeds of nearly all
kinds a large proportion of leaf-mold,
with some sand to give it porosity, is
the best compost procurable. There
are also many plants, such as Lorraine
begonias, ferns of many varieties,
many foliage plants and quite a few
bedding plants in the earlier stages,
which grow better in a compost con-
taining plenty of leaf-mold than in
anything else. By all means secure a
quantity of the leaf-mold. You will
find it invaluable for many purposes;
in fact, no florist is properly equipped
without a supply of rotted leaves. For
mixing in soil for benches it is not
equal to well decayed manure, but if
you have a naturally stiff, retentive
loam, a little may advantageously be
added. ^ G. W.

-r ■^.
GBOWINQ FERNS FROM SPORES.
Please give us a brief description of
the process of growing small ferns from
spores, G. S. C.
Having the spores ready for sowing,
the first step is to prepare some pots
in which to sow them. Take a suffi-
cient number of clean 0-inch pots — new
pots are best for the purpose — and fill
them two-thirds full of drainage mate-
rial ; either broken pots or clean cinders
will do. Then fill up with fine soil to
"within half an inch of the top, press-
ing down the soil smoothly and firmly.
The best soil is a peaty mixture con-
taining a fair proportion of sand, but
no manure. In order to kill weed seeds
and fungi, the soil should be sterilized.
Give the soil in the pots a good water-
ing and allow it to drain for an hour
or two before sowing.
The spores should be sown thinly on
the surface of the soil, and the pots
should then be plunged in sand or ashes
in a propagating frame, in order to
retain the moisture. If no frame is
available in .the propagating house,
cover the pots w^ith panes of glass and
protect from the sun. The object of
this is to conserve the moisture, so that
no watering will be needed before the
spores germinate.
As soon as the seedlings show signs
of making a leaf — or, rather, when the
first growth or prothallus reaches full
size — the seedlings may be pricked out
in small clumps into other pots or into
flats, in which they may remain until
large enough to pot off. The seedlings
require shade during all the early
stages of their growth, with a night
temperature of 00 to 65 degrees, and
should always be kept moist.

PRUNING HARDY ROSES.
Make Haste Somewhat Slowly.
There is no advantage in early pnin
ing of hardy roses, as the plants are
likely to break away and late spring
frosts will seriously cripple such
growths. Early in April is sufficiently
early to prune in the colder states, and
in the more northerly latitudes the end
of April is better. When the winter
protection has been removed, it can be
readily seen how much fresh green
wood we have left to prune back to,
and it is always possible that after the
removal of mother earth, or whatever
other covering we may have used,
some of the newly exposed wood will
die back; therefore, wait a few days
after uncovering before pruning. In
the case of hybrid perpetuals, hard
pruning gives by far the best results.
Entirely cut out all dead, dying and
weak wood. Prune the strongest shoots
back to three or four buds and only
moderately strong shoots to two buds.
You are then fairly sure to have strong
growths and fine flowers, other condi-
tions, of course, being congenial. An-
other advantage of hard pruning is thit
winter protection is so much easier
applied; with light pruning it is quite
otherwise.
The Hybrid Teas.
The hvbrid teas, where thev have
been laid over and covered with earth,
should now be uncovered. Those which
were lifted and either buried outdoors
or planted in coldframes, should be
planted as soon as possible. Keep the
grafts well below the surface of the
ground. Uo not let the roots become
dry, and tramp the ground firmly about
them. These and the teas want much
lighter pruning than the hybrid perpet-
uals. Cut out dead wood and only re-
move the ends of the live wood. One-
third the previous season's growth is
sufficient to cut away. While the hy-
brid perpetuals do their best in stiflF,
heavy soil, the hybrid teas are more at
home in lighter soil; even such as is of
quite a sandy nature will prove all
right if liberally manured, and if a
mulch of manure and occasional water-
ings are given in summer.
The Ramblers.
The ramblers want little pruning.
Dead and weak wood should be en-
tirely removed and the end of the long,
strong last year's growths cut back a
little. If they can be bent before tying
in, they will break stronger and more
evenly. Many growers of ramblers
spoil their plants by leaving on all the
old flowering wood. This causes the
plants to send up few or no suckers
from the base, and growers wonder why
their plants flower so poorly as com-
pared with those of their neighbors,
who cut out the old flowering wood
clean, thus giving a chance for strong
suckers to come up, and it is these
which we can depend upon to produce
big, handsome trusses.
There is now a wonderful wealth of
material available in the wav of ram-
blers and one almost wonders how we
managed to get along without them a
few years ago. Tausendschon and
American Pillar are two beautiful new
j^^orts v.'hich have come through the last
winter unscathed. It is no longer neces-
sary to i)lantj or rather overplant, Crim-
^■on Rambler; fine though it is, the
many fine pink sorts are just as relia-
ble and few are more beautiful after
the flowering season has passed. Crim-
son Rambler's poor foliage is its great
drawback, while such sorts as Hiawa-
tlia, La;dy, Gay, Dorothy Perkins and
many others* all have beautiful shiny
foliage^ which they hold until the end
of the season.
' A Word on Planting.
Roses cannot be planted too early,
after frost has left the ground. Do not
prune them back hard at planting time.
Leave that undone for at least three
weeks. In planting roses avoid such
stock as has been carried over winter
in storage sheds, packed in sand. These
plants may look beautiful and green on
arrival, but an exposure to sun and
wind will speedily give many of them
a black, as well as shriveled appear-
ance. Plants dug from the open ground,
qr which have been heeled in outdoors
during winter, will give far the most
satisfactory results. In the warmer
states many growers have good success
with roses on their own roots. Grafted
or budded stock is, however, hardier
and more adaptable for the cold states,
also possessing greater vigor.
GERMINATION OF SEEDS.
Please let me know how long seeds
of hybrid teas require to germinate. I
gathered some early this year and
should like to try them. The seeds are
from Gruss an Teplitz. G. G.
The hips, as soon as ripe, should be
placed in moist sand to stratify. When
the fruit portion is well rotted, take out
the seeds, wash and dry them well and
sow at once. The earlier they are picked
and sown, if ripe, the earlier will they
usually germinate. When sown in fall,
if placed in flats, they will generally
appear in late spring, but if they do
not show then, exercise a little patience,
as it may be fall or even another spring
1 ef ore they germinate. As a rule, how-

SUCCESS IN ROOTING CUTTINGS.
What per cent of carnation cuttings
do most growers succeed in rooting, par-
ticularly in the Enchantress varieties and
Lady Bountiful? E. F. & S.
Of the Enchantres's varieties yon
should have no trouble in rooting from
ninety to 100 per cent. Lady Bountiful
is not quite so easy, but with good cut-
tings and under favorable weather con-
ditions you ought not to lose more Lhan
ten to twenty per cent. This is, of
course, taking for granted that you have
proper facilities for giving the cuttings
the best of care. If you do not have
perfect control over the heating and ven-
tilating you can not hope to get good
strikes. A. F. J. B.

SUGGESTIONS

Dutch Bulbs for Easter.
It was at one time feared that the
late date of Easter would make it diffi-
cult, if not impossible, to hold back
bulbous i)lants for Easter. The cold
weather has, however, materially aided
in retarding and anyone possessing a
good cold cellar will have no special
trouble in having hyacinths, tulips and
narcissi in good shape. Give the plants
a coldframe. Shade the tulips when
opening during sunshine. If perchance
any seem a little late, place them in
heat for a day or two, but a warm spell
for a couple of days in April sends
bulbs along with a grand rush. The
cooler and airier they can be grown,
the better they will sell, as the dwarf.
stocky pans are what people li*ke. Any
plants in flower will hold a number of
days fresh on the floor of a cool cellar.
Irises and Gladioli.
Flats containing the small flowered
gladioli and Spanish irises should go in
ii temperature of 50 degrees now in
order to insure their being in flower
for Memorial day. These bulbous flow-
ers aro invaluable for making up with
louquets and anyone having a large
batch will have no trouble in selling
them. They want quite a lot of water
and, with the flats full of active roots,
an application of liquid manure once
in three or four days will prove benefi-
cial. The colored varieties of irises and
gladioli will be worth more money at
Memorial day than the white ones. The
latter will sell well for June weddings.
Lilium Speciosum.
Lilium speciosum bulbs potted in No-
vember or December, if kept in a green-
house, will now be a foot or more in
height. It is poor policy to allow them
to stand along the sides of the paths, or
even below the benches, until drawn up
and weakly. Give them a light, sunny
bench in a moderately cool house. They
rather resent forcing and there would
be no special advantage in forcing
them until they are wanted during
•Tune, but as at this season other flow-
ers are so abundant, it is really better
to hold them back for .Tuly and August
use. If the pots have been in cold,
unheated pits or cellars, the growths
will still be short. Stand them well
up to the light. Any temperature above
actual freezing will suit them nicely.
Flowering Shrubs for Easter.
DeciduQus flowering shrubs should be
in nice flower a few days before Easter,
so that they can be placed in a cool
house to harden them. If taken direct
from the temperature of a forcing house
and exposed to a little of the cold
' winds, which are common even in sup-
posedly balmy April, they will soon
present a ?orry appearance. The cooler
these are opened, the better satisfaction
will they give to storekeepers and other
customers. It does not take long to
force some of these shrubs into flower;
especially is this true of prunus, cera-
sus, forsythias and some of the shrubby
spirieas, like Thunbergii. A rather
longer period is needed for lilacs, deut-
zias, crata'gus and Azalea mollis.

SEASONABLE NOTES ON LILIES.
Forcing Out the Easter Flowers.
But little more than a week remains
between now and Easter. The spring,
while moderately clear, has been cold
and plants have not advanced nearly so
rapidly as during the same period a
year ago. No matter how dear the
skies are, if there is an average tem-
perature 'i to 10 degrees lower during
the day, and cold nights, flowers wiU
not develop on the lilies as with warm-
er weather. If the buds are not now
showing white, they are late and want
all the heat you can give them. It is
woith a little extra effort to try to
have at least one flov.er open on a
plant, as after Kaster prices are always
away down. Give any late plants the
warmest liouse you have; 75 degrees at
n'ght is too high for the majority of
plants, but for laggard lilies it is now
a necessity. Spray them freely and
bottle up plenty of sun heat in the aft-
ernoon and if they can be flowered on
time, heat and moisture, with old Sol 's
aid, will aceomplsh it. Often we get
spells of darkj cold weather near Easter
and such weather is distressing to
those whose plants are late. All we
<-an do under such conditions is to use
plenty of fire heat and moisture.
Making Up Easter Lilies.
There is always a considerattc sale
for largo | ots or pans of E ister lilies.
These should be uiaile un be ore IIk"
plants liavc too iikuiv flowers ex kukIim!,
as there is then less probability of
their being bruised. Ten-ineh pots
with five stalks are often asked for and
are effective in churches. It is not
necessary to retain all soil about the
plants when making them up. Tearing
part of it away will not hurt them or
arrest the development of the flowers
in the least. Soak well with water
after making up the pots and do not
expose these plants to bright sunshine,
which might cause gome of the lower
foliage to take on a golden hue. It
may 1 e asked, why not use these large
pots for the bulbs when they are first
j)Ottedf The objections are, first, that
the bulbs do not make root so well in
l>ots containing a large body of earth,
and second, in a batch of lilies it would
be something of a novelty to find any
four or five bulbs which, if put in the
«ame pot, would flower s'multaneously.
Keep the pollen masses removed from
the flowers and, of course, make a point
of seeing that any stems which need
sujjports get them and that all pots are
scrupulously clean. Plants in flower
should have a cold house, pit or cellar;
4(1 (legrees at night in a cellar will hold
llu'iu in good shape, but even with lilies
do not take tlieni direct from 70 to 7')
degrees at night to so lov,- a tempera-
tuie.
Lilies for Memorial Day.
It is rot a long cry from Easter to
Aleii.orial day this year, only some six
weeks. I'ossibly if Easter were made to
occur on a given dav (A|)ril 14 is the

in many ways an advantage, as these
early and late Easters are harassing
to the growers of Easter stock. The
British Parliament is to consider the
recommendations to have Christmas day
always come on Monday and Easter day
on a stated day, and it is possible' that
in a few years these movable feasts will
be changed. But to hark back to
Memorial day, quite a few lilies are
always grown for that holiday, and
everything in the flower line sells at
that time. It will be possible to give
these late lilies a little better bench
space, with Easter stock out of the
way. They should have their buds
peeping by the end of April and they
will be all right. If you have only
Easter lilies just showing buds, it is
better to let them come on naturally, as
funeral and other work always calls for
a certain number. Any with buds just
peeping at Easter can easily be held
back tor Memorial day in a cool house.
LILIES TURNING YELLOW.
Please advise me what to do in re-
gard to my giganteum lilies, as they
are turning yellow from the bottom
up. They 'w<?rte planted October 29,
1910, in (j-inch pots, and I put them in
a dark cellar with a temperature of 40
degrees. I watered them about every
two Aveeks, and when they were about
one inch above the ground I put them
in .'i greenhouse with a night tempera-
ture of 6.5 degrees. Having no stegm
heat, I put a large stove in the center
of the house. My lilies are now about
eight to eighteen inches high. When
the pots were well fitted with roots I
watered them every day, using a hose.
There are some worms in the soil,
which I th'uk have something to do
with the lilies turning yellow. What
is the best manure? I have not tried
any as yet. F. W. L.
Starvation at the roots or an inade-
quate water supply may be the cause
of your lilies turning yellow. Any
worms in the soil will not do a great
amount of harm. You can easily get
rid of them by giving the plants some
lime water. Your treatment of the
giganteums seems to have been about
right. Spray them quite freely over-
head and remember that now, when
the pots are full of roots, not one, but
two and perhaps three waterings a day
may be necessary during clear weather.
Sheep manure water is good; so is that
obtained from cows. If your plants
look starved, water with weak nitrate
of soda water — a teaspoonful to a 12-
quart can at intervals of five or six
days. Two waterings should suffice,
but animal liquid manure twice a week
will be found helpful. The earliest
buds on your lilies should be showing
white early in April. If they do not,
you are late and must give the plants
all possible heat and moisture.
C. W. .
TULIPS NOT FLOWERING,
Last fall I planted a number of tulip
bulbs in boxes. I kept them buried out-
doors until the first part of December
and then put them in a cellar. I brought
them to the light from January on, as
I needed them. I planted Keizerskroon,
Cottage Maid and other varieties, which
flowered nicely. 1 also planted a num-
ber of Chrysolora, yellow, but nol a
bulb flowered. They were planted in

W. B. S.
Chrysolora tulips are not a good foic
ing variety, although splendid as a
bedder outdoors. Too early lorcing of
a sort which is not naturally adapted
for this purpose may have caused the
buds to become brown. There are other
possible causes, such as premature dig-
ging of the bults in Holland. Last
year was not a bad one for ripening
bulbs, but some growers, in order to-
have their stock cured and ready for
export early, may have lifted them soon
er than was advisable. A deficiency of
water at the roots will cause buds to
turn brown. The surface soil may ap
pear moist, but when the flats are full
of roots they require a lot of water.
Another season, if instead of planting
Chrysolora, you will use Yellow Prince,
a fine golden yellow and sweet-scented
tulip, you will have better success.

SXAIDBAGONS FOR NOVEMBEH.
Can I have snapdragons in bloom
about November 15? Will you please
give me some information as to when
they should be planted and when 1
should stop pinching them! H. E. Y.
In order to have snapdragons in
flower about November 15, your plants
must be benched from the middle to the
end of August. Seed to produce these
plants should be sown about the middle
of June. Pot these off inta 2y_.-inch
pots and later into 4-inch pots. Pinch
once, first allowing the flower stems to
run up somev.hat, as they then break
stronger. If you want fancy spikes,
leave three to five to a plant. If small
or medium ones will do, six to eight can
be left to each. You can also secure
young plants from cuttings, which, if
taken in early June, rooted in a cold-
frame and grown along, will make nice
plants to bench in August. Be sure not
to allow them to become potbound. Y'^ou
will not get nearly as fine spikes on
your plants in November and December
as in the spring months. C. W.
BAMELEBS NOT BLOOMING.
I have several Crimson Rambler roses
which do not bloom. I should like to
know what the trouble is. They have
not bloomed since I received them.
E. B.
Perhaps you have left all the old
flowering wood on your plants. They
should be cut out each season after the
flowers are gone. You will thus get
strong shoots to start from the base,
and it is on these that the finest trusses
are always produced. Feed the plants
well, as all the ramblers like liberal
treatment while gio ■ ing. C. W.

THE NATIONAL fg
\» FLOWER SHOW
A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
Now a Triennial Affair,
The great S. A. F. National Show,
scheduled to run from March 25 to
April 1, did not finally close its doors
until Sunday night, April 2. Demands
were so strong for an additional Sunday
that the management yielded to the
pressure to keep open and the crowd
on the closing day seemed even larger
than ever. The exhibition closed in a
blaze of glory and many were the re-
grets expressed that it could not have
run another week. There have never
previously been exhibitions running so
long as this in Boston and there were
serious misgivings that the attendance,
while splendid during the earlier days,
might dwindle towards the close, but
there was so much to see and so many
new attractions were added day by day
that people came, admired and won-
dered, and came again with their
friends, and had it been possible to
maintain exhibits in presentable condi-
tion for even another week there is
little question but that it would have
paid well.
It was announced Saturday, April 1,
that with gate receipts of some $15,000
up to that time the show was a finan-
cial success, that guarantors would be
paid back in full and that there would
undoubtedly be a fair profit. This sur-
passed the most sanguine expectations
of the management. It was decided
March 30 by the board of directors of
the S. A. F. to have the national show
triennially, and now that Boston has
shown that it can manage one of this
size and make it a financial success, we
may fairly expect a chorus of claimants
for the 1914 show.
Weather Favors the Show.
The weather proved a trump card, as
while it remained cold during the entire
exhibition, this favored the exhibits and
the attendance. With the ground frozen
at the end of March and sleighing in
progress in Maine, Vermont and Can-
ada, many made the Boston trip who
would not have come had spring started
early, as it did a year ago.
Many exhibits remained fresh to the
end, but the ten days' show was too
much for some. Orchids, except cypripe-
diums, went to sleep after a few days.
Bulbous plants were quite pass6 at the
close. On the other hand, azaleas, ericas,
acacias and other hard-wooded plants
kept finely. It was noted that speci-
mens of box lately imported from Hol-
land lost their leaves in showers, while
those that were acclimated did not suf-
fer in the least. The foliage on the
rambler roses had mostly turned golden,
but there were so many changes made
each day that nothing unsightly met
the visitors' eyes. James Wheeler, as
superintendent of the exhibition, was
ever on the alert and every day pleas-
ing changes were made.
The appearance of some plants in the [
main hall a few days after the openin"g*
suggested that escaping gas or creosote
was causing some damage. The real
cause was there undoubtedly in some
gaseous form, although it was not lo-
cated. Everything being considered,
however, things kept well and it .is
doubtful if they would have lasted bet-
ter in any other hall in Boston.
Attendance at Meetings Slim.
A meeting of so manj- national socie-
ties brought an attendance unparalleled
in the history of American floriculture.
A show of the magnitude of this one
has demonstrated one thing, viz.: that
no matter how diverse and interesting a
series of business sessions the several
societies may map out in advance, the
attractions of the exhibition are so po-
tent that it is a difficult matter to get
even a quorum together to talk busi-
ness. Practically all the business ses-
sions showed this. Some were aban-
doned and others materially modified to
meet the conditions of the case.
The closing meeting of the S. A. F.,
scheduled for 9 a. m. April 1, was not
called to order until 12:30. The ex-
hibition hall was packed with visitors,
but it was difficult to secure a quorum
of members to hold the last session.
President Asmus read a short address,
congratulating the members on the mag-
nificent success of the show and thank-
ing all workers for their untiring efforts.
He said that his address proper would
be reserved for Baltimore, as would
other addresses. He appointed as a
committee on final resolutions A. T. De
La Mare, J. H. Pepper, A. Farenwald,
James Forbes and J. R. Fotheringham.
The resolutions, which were adopted by
acclamation, thanked the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Boston, the local
ladies' committee, F. R. Pierson, the
chairman of the National Show com-
mittee, and all who had worked and
helped to make the show such a suc-
cess.
A telegram was read from Edwin
Lonsdale, state vice-president in Cali-
fornia, conveying congratulations to
the society for its courage in holding a
spring show and convention and stating
that San Francisco would be the
strategic point for a show in 1915.

The Sweet Pea Section of the National Flower Show, Boston, March 28, 1911.
Presentation to Thomas Roland.
President Asmus rose and stated he
had one more pleasant duty to perform.
He spoke of Thomas Eoland's hard
work for the National Show and the
wonderful exhibits he had made. He
also referred to the fact that he be-
came the proud father of a little daugh-
ter during the show and on behalf of a
number of friends presented him with
a beautiful solid silver baby's set of
dishes, spoons, etc. Mr. Eoland, who
seemed completely nonplussed for a
time, feelingly and appropriately re-
plied. He said two things had espe-
cially pleased him: One was the ad-
vent of a little girl to his household;
the other was the way everyone had
worked for the big show and helped to
make it such a success. He was enthu-
siastically applauded on taking his seat.
FARTHEST AFIEIJ).
Of all the many hundreds of trade
visitors at the second National Flower
Show whose names appeared in the long
list published in last week's issue of
The Review, that one farthest from
home was James Forbes, of Portland,
Ore. Mr. Forbes traveled clear across
the continent to see the great Bostoji
exhibition and says he was well repaid
for his effort. He is a member of Mar-
tin & Forbes Co., a firm of florists wide-
ly known on the coast. He served most
efficiently on the board of judges at
Boston.
SOCIETY DAY AWARDS.
Society and rose day, with the price
of admission doubled, did not in the
least detract from the attendance
March 31, and it added materially to
the gate. There was a truly magnifi-
cent showing of cut flowers arranged
for effect, and of work by some of the
progressive retailers. On the whole this
was the most successful day of the
show. The awards were:
Oisplay of roses covering 200 square feet.
A. N. Piprson, Cromwell, Conn., first; A. Fareii-
wald. Roslyn, Pa., second; W. H. Elliott, Brigh-
ton, Mass., third.
Exhibit of carnations covering 50 to 100 square
feet, Peirce Bros., Waltham, first- S. J. Goddard.
Frnraingham, second; Patten & Co., Tewksbury,
third; Halifax Garden Co., Halifax, fourth.

After the business meeting a banquet
was held, for 150 members and guests,
at which the principal speakers were
Robert Craig and F. R. Plerson.
GARDENERS' ASSOCIATION.
The National Association of Garden-
ers held its annual convention at Boston
March 29, presided over by William
Kleinheinz. The following officers were
elected: President, Thomas Logan,
Jenkintown, Pa.; first vice-president, T.
J. Kempton, New York, N. Y.; second
vice-president, R. H. Caverly, Lowell,
Mass.; secretary, Basil Noyce, Brook -
MASSACHUSETTS MEDALS.
The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety provided a number of its medals
for award to the exhibitors at the Na-
tional Flower Show and also furnished
its own judges to place them indepen-
dently of any awards by the show
judges. The committee on awards con-
sisted of T. D. Hatfield, A. H. Fewkes,
Wilfrid Wheeler, Joseph Clark and
Peter Fisher. The awards were:
Gold medal to W. A. Manda for display of
palms, troe ferns and other tropical plants.
Gold medal to Thomas Roland for group of
arneias and other plants.
(Jold medal to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for

ramblrr roses.
Silver mednl to Mrs. Frederick Ayer, George
Page, gsrdeiier, for collection of hard-wooded

By way of explanation it may be said
that a large number of other meritori-
ous exhibits were given S. A. F. cer-
tificates and other awards at preceding
August conventions, and therefore could
not be considered bv this committee.
AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
At the closing session of the annual
convention of the American Carnation
Society, Secretary Baur presented the
report of the joint committee of the
Carnation and Rose Societies in the
matter of the 1912 meeting. The com-
mittee, composed of the two boards of
directors, voted 7 to 2 to recommend
that the two societies hold a joint con-
vention and exhibition at Detroit, open-
James "WheeUr.
Much of the succeaa of the National Flower Show was due to Mr. Wheeler's effloieney as superintendent.
ing January 24, 1912. The Carnation
Society at once accepted the report,
concurred in its recommendation and
adopted a resolution expressing the hope
that the Rose Society will do likewise
at its adjourned meeting at Baltimore
in August.
The committee on presideiit's address,
R. H. Nicholson, J. A. Valentine and
Joseph Hill, did not concur in the
recommendation to revise the scale of
points, but the same committee asked
the society to concur in the secretary's
.recommendation that the by-laws be
amended to permit the readmission of
dropped members on the payment of $5.
The society concurred.
J. A. Valentine proposed the erection
of a memorial tablet for the late Fred
Dorner and the secretary was instructed
to communicate with the members in
regard to a popular subscription.
On the closing date F) Dorner & Sons
Co., Lafayette, staged two seedlings
which, in spite of their having suffered
somewhat on their journey of 1,000
miles, scored high enough to earn certifi-
cates: Dark crimson, 87 points; cerise,
86 points.
THE SMOKER.
The florists of Boston, not content
with the reception and ball scheduled in
the official program for Wednesday
evening, March 29, gave a smoker at
the Hotel Somerset Thursday evening,
March 30, thereby putting one over on
the committee that allotted the local
people only one evening for their hos-
pitalities. The smoker was held in the
great ballroom of the Somerset, over
400 gathering about the round tables.
A fine collation consisting of Boston's
favorite dish, ale, sandwiches, salads,
etc., was served. Colored minstrels pro-
vided a vaudeville entertainment and
there were speeches by Mayor Fitzpat-
rick, F. R. Pierson, George Asmus, Rob-
ert Craig, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, W. W.
Castle, Chester I. Campbell, his assist-
ant, and others. It was a late hour be-
fore the festivities closed and those
present voted it one of the most suc-
cessful features of a week filled with
eminent successes.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS.
The executive committee of the
S. A. F. held a two days' session at
Boston, March 28 and 20, with an ad-
journment to Baltimore, where a ses-
sion was held April 4. Those present at
the Boston session were: Ex-president
F. R. Pierson, President George Asmus,
Vice-president R. Vincent, Secretary
Dorner, Treasurer Kasting, Directors W.
J. Vesey, Eugene Dailledouze, Robert
Craig, E. Allan Peirce and H. A. Bun-
yard — the full board except for W. N.
Rudd. The program for the Baltimore
convention was outlined, rules adopted
for the trade display, and a great deal
of routine work dispatched. One of
the details was the adoption of a reso-
lution to the effect that the National
Flower Show should be a triennial
affair.
PARTY TO CROMWELL.
All the leading New England growers
kept open house while the National
Flower Show was in progress in Boston,
and for several days after. They had
visitors by the score and in some cases
by the hundred. Many of those who
attended the show stopped, either going
or returning, at Cromwell, Conn., to in-
i T^i>,-^'7">'tT?* 'f ;

The Weekly Florists' Review.
General View of the Carnation Section at the National Flower Show.
epect the establishment of A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., and March 29 W. E. Pierson
escorted a party of twenty-five from
Boston, entertaining them at dinner at
the hotel in Cromwell and providing a
special parlor car for the return to Bos-
ton in the evening.
EXHIBITION ECHOES.
Duncan Finlayson placed on exhibi-
tion March 31 superb plants of Den-
drobiums Wardianum and nobile, the
finest dendrobes in the exhibition.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
entertained over 1,000 at their reception
in Paul Eevere hall March 29 and all
appeared to enjoy themselves.
It was really surprising how many
accosted J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam,
N. Y., with "How are you feeling,
Elliott?" The Amsterdam asparagus
specialist bears a striking resemblance
to the Brighton asparagus king.
F. E. Pierson was a tired but happy
man when the doors closed April 2.
Mr. Pierson has practically lived in
Boston for months and has even had to
postpone council meetings in his home
city and allow mayoral duties to rest
on account of the show.
The car ride to historic Concord and
Lexington March 30 was enjoyed by
150 ladies. This was under the aus-
pices of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club. There was a lecturer on each
car and lunch was served en route.
The gold plated Syracuse plow in the
exhibit of T. J. Grey Co., with a
wooden plow 140 years old, attracted
a lot of attention.
Many of the large exhibitors from a
distance, such as W. A. Manda, Bob-
bink & Atkins, Julius Eoehrs, F. E.
Pierson Co., Bobert Craig Co. and
others, sold all or a large part of their
exhibits. All of Bobbink & Atkins'
huge bay trees were sold.
Mrs. W. H. Elliott entertained the
Ladies' S. A. F. at her beautiful
Brighton home March 31, Lunch was
served and a business session held.
About 100 attended.
John Dunbar, of Eochester N. Y.,
delivered an interesting illustrated
lecture on "Trees and Shrubs" in Paul
Eevere hall March 31. It is, however,
diflBcult to get an audience to attend
any lectures or business sessions while
there is so much of interest in the
exhibition,
Peter t^isher's silver medal carnation,
Benora, caught on and Mr. Fisher
booked orders for over 50,000 cuttings
during the show. And yet the carna-
tion men say March is too late for their
meeting! He did not show his new
cerise variety. Gorgeous, to be intro-
duced next year, as he is propagating it
heavily,
Farquhar's group contained some
plants in flower of the beautiful new
Chinese Lilium myriophyllum, one of
the most charming of the whole genus.
The pure white trumpet flowers have a
delightful odor.
F. B. Pierson 's beautiful specimens
of nephrolepis in eighteen varieties
were a constant center of attraction.
It would seem as though there would
soon be this number of forms of Kil-
larney rose. We noted white, double
white, pink, double pink, deep pink,
red, variegated and light pink, and the
end is not yet.
The English visitors were charmed
with the exhibition and surprised at its
dimensions for a spring show. Their
chief criticism was of the tendency on
the part of nearly all exhibitors to
overcrowd their displays and the lack
of artistic arrangement, as compared
with European shows. They suggested
that it would be a good thing to have
one or two men like Cypher, of Chelten-
ham, over to show us how to arrange
groups effectively. There is no doubt
of the justice of this criticism, not onlv
of this, but of practically all other
American flower shows.
The greenhouse builders, hose men
and other dealers in sundries all report
fine business, and while all would have
been glad to see the show continue
longer, they appreciate a rest from the
most strenuous ten days they have had.
LADIES' S. A. F.
The Ladies' Society of American Flo-
rists was entertained right royally and
thanks are returned to the ladies of the
Boston committee and Gardeners' and
Florists ' Club, for the good times. Espe-

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
[George Asmus, president of the Society of
Mmnicaii Florists, made the following address in
opening the meeting held at Boston, March 31. J
It is with great pleasure I address
you, ladies and gentlemen of the So-
ciety of American Florists, at this gath-
ering here during the first spring meet-
ing attempted by our organization in
amalgamation with our kindred socie-
ties.
It is the first time that the combina-
tion of holding flower shows, conven-_^
tiona and trade exhibits has been at-
tempted, and it is for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not it has met
with a general feeling of success by the
different societies participating, and in
view of the fact that our annual con-
vention will take place as usual in Bal-
timore in August, the officers and mem-
bers of the board of directors did not
deem it advisable to interfere with the
usual program of that meeting. I will,
therefore, as briefly as. possible, bid you,
the members of the bodies participating
in this gathering, a most cordial wel-
come in behalf of the Society of Amer-
ican Florists.
This gathering is the fulfillment of
one of my most beautiful dreams. I for
a number of years have. thought that
the concentration of all interested at
the time of the year when the greatest
number of varieties of flowers are ob-
tainable, namely, the spring, would be
ideal for a convention.
There are a great many things favor-
able to a spring meeting, one in par-
ticular being the time of the year to
make displays of the goods we are most
interested in, another being the doing
away with excessive railroad travel, and
time devoted to going to the different
conventions when they are held sepa-
rately in different cities and at different
times.
We are all busy people and time
means money with all of us. It has
been said that we have more time in
August than at any other time of the
year for convention purposes. This is
true when a convention is taken in the
way of recreation instead of business.
I take the stand that conventions prop-
erly attended are strictly business, par-
ticularlv when carried on as one would
be by the amalgamation of the different
societies, such as are represented by
this, the second National Flower Show.
While our membership has slowly in-
creased, it is not an increase such as
would be justified by the work done by
our organization. When there are so
many large questions constantly coming
up, and which are of vital importance
to the success of our business, it
would seem two meetings a year were
almost a necessity. Then again the big
displays that would naturally follow
such spring meetings would be of al-
most priceless value in the way of stim-
ulating advertising.
In the cities where such conventions
and exhibitions were held, they would
be self-sustaining to a certain extent,
and it is not necessary that these exhi-
bitions and conventions be held in the
very largest cities, but any city of a
population of 200,000 or more would
perhaps be as good, taking into consid-
eration the great good exhibitions of
this kind would do local communities,
as such exhibitions could not help arous-
ing a great horticultural interest to the
public at. large, and this would be one
of the ways our organii^atjon would do
^ great horticultural good-
While there is no doubt about the
grand hospitality that .has been ex-
tended to the different societies at their
ipeetings in the past, and while there is
an open welcome in the hearts of all
florists for their brethren in business,
we know that in some instances in
towns and small cities the work falls
upon a few people, and the precedent
for entertainment having been estab-
.Jished has become a custom, and has
not always been an easy matter for the
consideration of the local people. In-
stead of being anything of that kind to
"^"^ large city, it would be just the re
verse. It should mean such a big horti-
cultural boom to that particular city, or
section wherein same was held, that
they would be more than recompensed
for any trouble they may have had.
I sincerely hope that the talks which
follow after the close of my few re-
marks will be favorable to a continua-
tion of the combined society meetings
annually in the spring of each year.
I wish here to give credit to the un-
tiring efforts of our chairman of the
National Flower Show Committee, F. E.
Pierson, of Tarrytown, N. Y., also to
the members of that committee, as well
as to the Board of Control and to local
horticultural organizations who have
been untiring in their efforts to make
this show the great success it has been.
But few on the inside know the great
amount of work and detail there is in
connection with an enormous undertak-
ing of this kind, but it has been ever
thus in the workings of our society.
Untiring unselfishness for the gen-
eral good of all has been the watch-
word of the great majority of the mem-
bers of this society. Let us assist them
at any and all times it is in our power.
Nor must we think we have achieved
the greatest, or reached the top of the
ladder, but put our knowledge and
thoughts to greater things, many of
which are in their infancy, and which
I will dwell upon in my address at the
August convention.
One of my predecessors, Mr. Valen-
tine, of Denver, in his address before
the convention at Cincinnati, recom-
mended the setting aside of certain
hours for the meetings of florists who
are interested in the different branches
of the business, such as the Retail Sec-
tion, Carnation Society, Rose Society,
etc., which at that time created a very
favorable impression. I was one of
those who were deeply impressed with
the idea, and believe that the present
meeting has to a great extent covered
a great many of the ideas advjinced in
his recommendation.
Our business, branching out as it
does, and specializing itself as it has,
and will continue to do from this on,
must have individual organizations to
further their specific purposes.
I do not suppose that we can have
an exhibition on so elaborate a scale
as this each year, but with the com-
bined efforts of the Carnation, Rose and
Sweet Pea Societies, and additional pre-
miums for plants, etc., I think a good
annual spring show ought to be a suc-
cessful feature from all points of view,
and would recommend to you the con-
sideration of a plan whereby the advis-
ability of such be considered.
The Society of American Florists is
not a society with any one object in
view, but the general promotion of all
interests. We want the membership of
the members of these, organizations in
the mother society. We should support
them, and they should support us, as we
should be one in purpose and one in
accord.
TREASURER'S REPORT. ;
[W. F. Kastlng, treasurer of the Society of
American Florists, presented a report, of which
the following is a summary, at tne meeting at
Boston, March 31.]
The period covered by this report is
the vear from January 1, 1910, to De-
cember 31, 1910.

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
[H. B. Dorner, secretary of the Society of
American Florists, presented the following report
at the meeting at Boston, March 31.]
As the regular secretary's report was
given at the convention held during the
summer, the report at this time will be
in the nature of a supplementary one,
covering the time from the last con-
vention up to date.
The financial statement attached to
this report, as well as the treasurer's
report, shows a gratifying increase in
the general fund and a marked increase
in the permanent fund. During the
year, the fees of twenty-eight members
were added to this fund. As has been
the custom in the past, the executive
board has ordered that all interest on
both general and permanent fund be
added to the permanent fund.
The trade exhibit of 1910 was unusu-
ally successful. The entire receipts for
sale of space were $2,460.43. The total
expenditure, including the superintend-
ent's salary, was .$944.52, leaving a
balance of $1,515.91 in the treasury.
This was without doubt the most suc-
cessful trade exhibition ever held by
the S. A. F.
A comparison of the membership of
1909 and 1910 may be of interest:
Life. Annual. Total.
1900 219 776 99.")
1910 247 826 1,073
During the year, 228 new members
were taken in. This number also in-
cluded old members reinstated. Of this
number, thirteen entered as life mem-
bers. In addition to these, fifteen mem-
bers were transferred from the annual
to the life membership roll. The total
number of life members added during
the year was twenty-eight.
We are now past the 1,000 mark and
have raised our goal to the 2,000 mark.
Let us hope that by united effort we
will reach that mark in a few years, in-
stead of the twenty-seven necessary to
reach the 1,000 mark. This could be
done easily if each member made an
effort and secured one new member.

Classes for Flesh and Light Pink Carnations at the National Flower Sho\^-.
This would make our membership 2,146
instead of 1,073.
Up to date, fifteen have been added
to the life membership roll. Eleven are
transfers and four are new members.
Up to March 29, forty-seven new mem-
bers have been taken in. The total
number of members now in good stand-
ing is 854. This number includes the
life members, pioneer members and
those annual members who have paid
their 1911 dues.
Since our last report, in August, 1910,
twenty-six registrations have been
made. The plants registered were as
follows: One coleus, thirteen chrysan-
themums, one canna, eight geraniums,
three roses. A complete list of regis-
trations for the year will be given at
the August convention.
THE FINAL RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas the S. A. F., in the holding
of its second National Flower Show in
the city of Boston, is deeply indebted
to the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
("iety, the Gardeners' and Florists' Club
of Boston and their ladies, Mayor Fitz-
gerald, the press, and the public of Bos
ton, for courtesies extended and assist-
ance rendered during the period of the
show,
And whereas the National Flower
Show Committee, through its Board of
Control and its efficient managers, have
Jill performed their duties in a manner
entirely satisfactory to the society.
And whereas Frank E. Pierson. the
chairman of the National Flower Show
Committee, has given unlimited time
and services to make the show a success.
Be it Resolved, That the society ex-
tend its most heartfelt thanks for such
courtesies and assistance rendered, and
the entertainment so liberally furnished.
Furthermore Resolved, That the so-
ciety feels that the show has been an
unqualified success, due greatly to the
efforts of those mentioned.
And be it Further Resolved, That
these resolutions be extended uion the
members of the society, and copies sent
to the organization's members.

A. Farenwald.
ROSE SOCIETY'S PRESIDENT.
The election of Adolph Farenwald as
president of the American Rose Society
is a fitting recognition of the hearty
support that this able rosarian has given
to furthering the interests of the na-
tional society. A brief sketch of Mr.
Farenwald 's career is of especial inter-
est at this time.
Adolph Farenv.ald was born at Stet-
tin, Germany, forty-eight years ago.
When 14 years of age he commenced his
apprenticeship as a florist, serving for
three years at places in Hamburg,
Dresden and Stettin. He then went to
a rose nursery in Norwich, England,
where he remained for two years. Mr.
Farenwald came to this country in 188.5.
He worked for one and a half vears at
the Dreer nurseries at Riverton and for
another year or more at several small
places. In October, 1888, he became
foreman for Joseph Heacock, at Wyu-
cote. Pa., where he was successful with
roses for cut flowers. Beauties, Brides
and Maids were exceptionally well done.
In April, 1898, Mr. Farenwald started
his place at Roslyn, Pa. His success
with Liberty, then a new rose, was
almost phenomenal. Beauty, too, did
finely for him. Richmond and Killarney
now are his specialties and both thrive
under his care. His place has steadily
grown until today it is one of the large,
as well as one of the best, cut flower
establishments near Philadelphia. Mr.
Farenwald 's success is due to thorough
grounding in floriculture, his quick per
ception of the needs of the rose and how-
best to fill them, and to his appreciation
of the value of fine stock. Phil.

In opening the meeting held at Bos-
ton March 30 President Isaac S. Hen
drickson said: "A good many people,
especially those of the trade, are about
tired of joining trade societies; we
must depend largely for new members
among the amateurs." But Secretary
Gage reported 172 names on the mem-
bership roll. Financial Secretary H.
Youell reported only fourteen delin-
quent in the payment of dues. Treas-
urer Fuld showed total receipts of
$368.10, disbursements of $282.68 and
balance on hand of $85.42. Since last
meeting 30,000 leaflets have been dis-

membership roll are Holland gladiolus
bulb growers.
The exhibition to be held at Balti-

pledged. It also was recommended by
the exhibition committee that all or-
ganizations holding shows in season be
urged to increase their premiunls for
gladioli. The committee, H. Youell, L.
Merton Gage and L. B. Judson, also
made the following recommendation in
regard to
Bules to govern the awarding of cer-

After considerable discussion the re-

Prof. A. C. Beal was present, repre-
senting the society's trial ground at
Cornell University. A letter from Prof.
Craig was read, and one from a Euro-
pean firm regarding the grading of
sizes in quoting prices. The bulletin
committee was instructed to get out
another issue before the Baltimore
meeting. J. Keur, of Hillegom, Hol-
land, called attention to what he con-
siders the harmful practice of some
growers who cut the bloom and later
sell the bulb. He also pointed out that
some fine varieties never produce large
bulbs and that therefore grading mix-
tures by size is not desirable.
GLADIOLUS NOMENCLATURE.
[Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., chairman of the
Nomenclature Committee of the American Gladio-
lus Society, presented the following report and
recommendations, which were adopted, at the
meeting at Boston March 30.]
A good physician, before prescribing
for his patient, usually makes a diag-
nosis of his case and I believe that the
same principle should apply to the pres-
ent condition of the gladiolus nomen-
clature, and, so far as my knowledge
goes, I will proceed to diagnose the case.
Gladioli have been grown for more
than a century, but not until a few
years ago has there been extraordinary
interest taken in their extensive culture,
and up to which time there really had
been no trouble in the renaming or the
duplication of names. From the year
1902 to 1907 there were distributed, in
this country alone, over one million new
seedlings and named novelties of most
unusual types, and many bearing colors
and combinations of colors never before
seen or thought possible by the average
grower of this flower. Such stock (and
no wonder!) attracted the attention of
many growers of other flowers, as well
as some who had never grown for the
market, immediately after possessing
which these new gladiolus growers,
without the knowledge of existing va-
rieties as well as being ignorant as to
what had already been done toward
naming many of these new seedlings,
started in to mark, classify and estab-
lish a named list of their own. Under
such conditions, is it any wonder that
many varieties have been renamed?
The wonder to me is that we have not
more of them. So much for my version
of the cause of renaming.
In most if not every department of
horticulture as well as floriculture, the
grower in selecting names for his
plants, flowers, fruit, etc., aside from
the botanical standpoint, tries, so far
as is possible, to select names which
will indicate to the purchaser of his
product some particularly good attri-
bute which his plant, flower or fruit
possesses. It may be color^ size, form,
or some characteristic which, as said
above, he wishes to imply in the name.
Now, with this idea in mind, is it any
wonder that there are today two, three,
or even more varieties of gladioli bear-
ing the same namef
We have now diagnosed these two
cases. What remedy, and how shall we
apply it? is the question.
We have a well-organized society, and
while as yet but few foreign members,
I believe we will be able to secure the
cooperation of those foreign growers
who may not join our society, and
anticipating this, I trust I may be per-
mitted to oflEer the following procedure
as a remedy and the application of the
same.
First: I would have our society pos-
sess, both at the trial grounds and at
the office of our secretary, a copy of the
catalogue of every gladiolus grower in
this country and Europe^ from which a
list of all existing varieties, together
with descriptions of the same, could be
made up and, with many varieties, we
could at the same time secure the name
of the originator, and also in many
cases the year in which the variety
was first disseminated.
Your committee could then easily
ascertain where names were duplicated
and upon such information request those
growers having such varieties to send
to the trial grounds three to five bulbs
for testing, accompanied with the fol-
lowing statement:
(1) Name of variety;
(2) Name of grower offering the
variety;
(3) Pull description, including form,
color, habit, etc.;
(4) By whom originated;
(5) The date or year of introduc-
tion.
With this information and a thorough
trial upon the grounds at Ithaca, there
should be no doubt as to which grower
should be entitled to the use of the
disputed name, which should be with-
drawn by the other claimants upon the
receipt of such request from the super-
intendent of the trial grounds, endorsed
by the president and secretary of the
society.
The remedy and application of same
to the second complication (renaming)
is more difficult, the proper adjustment
of which will depend largely upon the
individual assistance of the members
of our society, both professional and
amateur.
To the professional grower I would
recommend the following:
First, when sending out mixtures of
any kind, either general or under color
selection, that he have printed on the
reverse side of every label, a notice
that the mixture so offered is either
composed of named varieties, or seed-
lings under process of classification, or
botn, and the purchaser should be
warned against naming any of such,
without first consulting the producer
and submitting a spike of the variety
which he may wish to name.
Second, I would recommend, wher-
ever or whenever any grower may
have knowledge of the renaming of any
variety, that he give to the superin-
tendent of our trial grounds such in-
formation, accompanied with three to
five bulbs of the variety so renamed,
together with three to five bulbs of the
variety bearing the correct name.
This last suggestion would be equally
applicable to the amateur, and by such
cooperation I feel sure we would be
but a short time in clearing up the
gladiolus nomenclature.
It is true that in the execution of
such measures as I have suggested more
or less disappointment .is sure to fall to
some growers, and I, for one, will be
only too glad to take my medicine with
a smile, if, in the end, the loyal and
enthusiastic amateur as well as the pro-
fessional grower can be assured of pro-
tection against this practice, the elimi--
nation of which I believe will stimulate
greater demand for our favorite flower
and which can certainly be accom-
plished by our society, but only through
the hearty and unselfish cooperation; of
its members.
THE BTHLDING OF A BUSINESS.
[A paper by August F. Poehlmann, of Morton
Grove, 111., read before the American Rose
Society, In convention at Boston, Mass., March
25 to AprU 1, 1011.]
In compliance with a wish expressed
by our worthy president and vice-presi-
dent, I have prepared a paper on the
"Development of an Up-to-Date Rose-
Growing Establishment," which, I be-
lieve, will also apply to other interests.
I can't quite understand why I was
selected, but I have an idea the gentle-
men referred to know it's one of my
short suits. In deference, therefore, to
those present, I will confine myself to a
few brief remarks, touching the subject
in a general way.
The development of any business de-
pends not only on one or two things,
but upon a happy combination of vari-
ous conditions, properly applied. These
conditions may be classified, I would
say, under the following terms: Abil-
ity, integrity, demand, and locality and
environments.
Ability and Integrity.
Classed separately, I would say, abil-
ity includes the faculty to accomplish,
to build, to grow good stock, to man-
age well, to anticipate and have power
to do. As a rule, most large, up-to-date
rose growing establishments of the pres-
ent day began business in a small way.
Spurred on by initial success, the earn-
ings were reinvested from time to time
to provide for the increasing demand
of the product. It becomes second na-
ture, then, to plan extensions and im-
provements, which in regular course
create new heads. Responsibility is
shifted. The work becomes more spe-
cific; each head is a specialist. This
system is general throughout; there-
fore, on the ability to do depends
largely the ability to supply demand.
Ability to discern the value of new
varieties, by previous knowledge of
parents or otherwise, and to anticipate
the demand for these, can properly be

TREE PLANTING
BY FLORISTS
1
PUBLI0-3PIBITED FLORISTS.
What They Might Accomplish.
The tale from the potting-shed is con-
tinued. This time it is along slightly
different lines.
Are we worrying because there is
nothing new? It is strange we are
never satisfied, but if we were, how
quiet things would seem! The florist
feels — sometimes, at least — that he is
a sort of under dog. Everything goes
wrong with him. He never can enjoy
himself like other folks. People say
to him, "How perfectly lovely it must
be to work in a hothouse, with all the
beautiful flowers about you!" The
florist knows better. He wants a
change — something new. Some one has
said that "there is nothing new under
the sun." Perhaps that is true. Who
can tell?
There are a whole lot of things, old
pal, that go to make this old ball well
worth knowing. What if we do knock
and knock and knock when things go
wrong? We can help a little to make
things brighter if we only would. The
trouble is, we don't think. When we
run across an opportunity to do some
good, or to start something worth while,
we usually let the other fellow beat
us to it or leisurely take our time.
Why can't we try to do something and
be somebody? Nobody is going to earn
our three "squares" for us — at least
not yet.
I have always wondered, fellows, why
it is that the florist does not exert more
influence in the shaping of our civic
affairs. He does a lot, of course, but
why not more? I have had several
thoughts along that line lately and I am
going to spring a few on you.
A Boom for Tree Planting.
Why is it that the florist isn't boom-
ing the tree planting question in his
own community? Did you ever stop to
think of the thousands of acres of fer-
tile land that are going to waste along
our public highways? Did you ever
think that you could start a "Tree
Preservation Society" in your own lo-
cality? Did you ever thing that maybe
you could do a lot toward educating
the masses in your chosen line, and
thereby increase your business? We
can't always be in the receiving line.
We must give occasionally. The change
does us good.
What do you think would be the re-
sult if every florist appointed himself
a committee of one to encourage the
planting of nut-bearing and fruit-bear-
ing trees along the roadsides? T pro-
pounded that question to a prominent
farmer not long ago and he replied,
"Why, every Tom, Dick and Harry
would make our life a burden. They
would help themselves and we couldn't
prevent it." That is one way to con-
sider it — rather a selfish way, however.
Personally, I do not understand how
.J
the farmer would be disturbed. At
first he might have more company along
his fence lines than formerly, but if
every one had the same thing to con-
tend with it would be but a short time
until people would wake up to the fact
that they had no business to intrude.
Over in Germany the plan is already
being followed, and with great results.
Think of the profit in nuts and fruits!
Think of the effect millions of trees
would have on climatic conditions!
Then think of the beautiful highways!
Give us the trees.
Over in Iowa they are trying to make
the highways narrower, because only
a narrow road is required for driving
purposes. It is said, too, that by re-
ducing the width, more than a half mil-
lion acres will be available for cultiva-
tion. It strikes me that some farmers
don't half farm the land they now
have. It will be easy to remove the
trees if the population becomes so dense
that every inch of land is necessary
for the people's support. We need the
trees. The farmer doesn't need the
land; at least, not while you and I are
here.
Jolting the Bead Commissioners.
Concerted action by the florists
would go a long way toward securing
what is needed in this matter. Why
wouldn't it be a good plan to jolt your
road commissioners? It seems to me
that the best way would be to amend
the law of road making so that it
would include tree planting as well. It
only costs about two per cent of the
cost per mile of road construction to
plant the same mile with trees. Say a
mile of road costs $8,000; the cost of
planting would be $160. How insig
nificant this is when you consider the
benefit to be derived! Don't think that

A STEBUNO ESTABLISHMENT.
When Eobert Lundstrom took posses-
sion of the property of the Sterling
Floral Co., at Sterling, 111., a few years
ago, the establishment consisted of only
a couple of small houses, but business
was just beginning to grow and in the
course of the next four or five years
there was a steady addition to the
plant, shown in the accompanying illus-
tration, in which, however, one house
24x120 does not appear. Plans now in
hand contemplate the erection of two
more houses this season. It is in such
towns as Sterling that the flower busi-
ness is now having its fastest growth.
All through the country, florists sit-
uated as Mr. Lundstrom is, are finding
a demand for more stock than they can
produce and they are building exten-
sively this year.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Business during the National Flower
Show was fairly good. The big exhibi-
tion consumed quite a lot of material,
which materially relieved the market,
and there is every prospect of satis-
factory trade between now and Easter.
The supply of Easter lily flowers arriv-
ing in a cut state is good. Easter quo-
tations vary from $10 to $12.50 per
hundred and about every grower is of
the opinion that his crop will be just
right. While a few Formosas are seen,
the majority are giganteums, with a
smaller proportion of multiflorums.
Koses are in quite abundant supply;
whites are selling extra well and on
some days have been quite scarce. Best
quality American Beauties maintain
previous quotations and there is an
active demand for Wards, Eichmonds
and Killarneys. Of Bon Silene and
Safrano good flowers also are coming
in. Hybrids, once so popular at this
season, are now virtually a thing of
the past. Carnations are selling at last
week's rates and, thanks to continued
cool weather, are of good quality.
Single violets are seen in much les-
sened numbers and will soon be over,
but doubles will last for some time.
Sweet peas are still improving in qual-
ity, and although abundant are moving
freely. While all colors are represent-

what had already been done toward
naming many of these new seedlings,
started in to mark, classify ;ind estab-
lish ;i named list of their own. Under
such conditions, is it any wonder that
many varieties have been renamed?
The wonder to me is that we have not
more of them. JSo much for my version
of the cause of renaming.
In most if not every department of
horticulture as well as floriculture, the
grower in selecting names for his
jilants, flowers, fruit, etc., aside from
the botanical standpoint, tries, so far
as is Jiossible. to select names which
will indicate to the purchaser of his
product some jiarticularly good attri-
bute which his jdant, llower or fruit
]iossesses. It may be color, size, form,
or some characteristic which, as said
tibove, he wishes to imply in the name.
-Now, with this idea in mind, is it any
wonder that there are today two three,
or even more varieties of gladioli bear-
ing the same name?
We have now diagnosed these two
cases. What remedy, and how shall we
apply it? is the question.
We have a well-organized society, and
while as yet but few foreign members,
1 believe we will be able to secure the
cociperation of those foreign growers
Avho may not join our society, and
anticipating this, I trust I may be per-
mitted to oiler the following procedure
as a remedy aud the application of the
same.
First: I would have our society pos-
sess, lioth :it the trial grounds and at
the ollice of our secretary, a copy of the
catalogue of every gladiolus grower in
this country and Europe, from which a
list of all existing varieties, together
with descriptions of the same, could be
made up and, with many varieties, we
could at the same time secure the name
of the originator, and also in many
cases the year in which the variety
was first disseminated.
^'our committee could then easily
asceitaiii where names were duplicated
•and u]ion such information reiiuest those
growers having such varieties to send
to the trial grounds three to five bulbs
for testing, :iccompanied with the fol-
lowing statement:
( 1 ) Name of \ ;iiiet \ ;

( .". ) Full description, including form,
I olor, jiabit. etc,;

With this information ;iinl u tliorough

should be no iliMibt ;is to Ashich grower

disputed iKiiiie. which s|i()|,i,i 1,,. witli.
dr.awn by the other cl.iiniants upon the
receipt of siicli rei|llest troin the su|ier
iiitend(>nt ot' the iiial grounds, endorsed
by the pre-ideiii and secretary of the
society.
The remedy and .applicat ion of s.ame
to the second coinplicit ion i remaining)
is tiiore diflicult. the ju'oper ad jiistinent
ol which will ■lepend |;irgely u|ion the
mdi\idu;il assistance nf the members
of our soeiefy, both professional and
ain.'iteur.
To the professional grower I would
recommend the following:
First, when sending out mixtures of
any kind, eitlier general or under color
.sidection, th.at he h.ave jirinted on the
reverse side of every label, a notice
flint the mixture sfi offered is rifher
composed of named varieties, or seed-
lings under process of classification, or
both, and the purchaser should be
warned against naming any of such,
without first consulting the producer
and submitting a spike of the variety
which he may wish to name.
Second, I would recommend, wher-
ever or whenever any grower may
have knowledge of the renaming of any
variety, that he give to the superin-
tendent of our trial grounds such in-
formation, accompanied with three to
five bulbs of the variety so renamed,
together with three to five bulbs of the
variety bearing the correct name.
This last suggestion would be equally
applicable to the amateur, and by such
cooperation I feel sure we would be
but a short time in clearing up the
gladiolus nomenclature.
It is true that in the execution of
such measures as I have suggested more
or less disappointment is sure to fall to
some growers, and I, for one, will be
only too glad to take my medicine with
a smile, if, in the end, the loyal and
enthusiastic amateur as well as the pro-
fessional grower can be assured of pro-
tection against this practice, the elimi-
nation of which I believe will stimulate
greater demand for our favorite flower
and which can certainly be accom-
plished by our society, but only through
the hearty and unselfish cooperation of
its members.

Over in Iowa they are trying to mak(;
the highways narrower, because only
a narrow roa<l is re(pnred for driving
purposes. It is said, too, that by re-
ducing the width, more than a half mil-

don't half farm the land they now
have. It will be easy to remove the
trees if the population becomes so dense
that every inch of land is necessary
for the people's support. We need the
trees. The fanner doesn't need the

April 6, 1911.
ed, white, pink and lavender are the
favorites. The supply of Dutch bulbous
stock is still heavy, but should soon
fall off. Cold weather has favored
those wishing to retard these for Easter.
8ome good stocks are arriving, also an
abundance of snapdragons. Spanish
iris is as yet not overabundant. Gar-
denias are plentiful, as is lily of the
valley. Cattleyas are only in moderate
supply, but dendrobiunis are abundant.
Pansies are seen in large quantities and
sell well; so do English jtriinroses. There
is a moderate call for greenery of all
sorts.
Pot plant trade is now booming, all
the specialists being up to their ears
in work, ramblers, acacias, ericas, gen-
istas, marguerites, spirjeas, bulbous
stock, fern dishes, palms and lilies all
being in active demand.
Various Notes.
The flower markets, commission
houses and seed stores have been crowd-
ed with visitors from all parts of the
country and abroad for the last ten
days; in fact, regular business has in
some measure had to give way to recep-
tions. Boston is glad to have had so
many notable horticultural visitors,
many more than have gathered at any
previous S. A. F. convention.
The board of trustees of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society at a
meeting April 1 voted the use of Hor-
ticultural hall for a large part of
March, 1912, to R. & J. Farquhar & Co.,
for the purpose of displaying an ex-
tensive Japanese garden and other in-
teresting features. Messrs. Farquhar
will occupy the whole hall. The exhi-
bition will continue two weeks and all
receipts over running expenses will go
to the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety. This exhibit will be on a more stu-
pendous scale than has ever yet been at-
tempted in America by any single ex-
hibitor. The use of the halls was also
voted to the New England fruit show
for a big exhibition in October.
We are pleased to report Robert
Montgomery, of Natick, as nearly re-
covered from his late sickness.
W. C. Bowditch, of Grove Hall, has
an extra fine line of rambler roses,
spirajas and pans of bulbous plants.
Albert Batlej-, of Maynard, is in the
market with a grand lot of Giant ten
weeks' stocks in four colors, also fiist
class flowers of Pink Delight, Boii:on,
Winsor and other carnations.
W. E. Turner and James Philbrick, of
Woburn, are sending in thousands of
fine pansies daily.
March maintained its reputation of
being the windiest month of the year,
but, contrarj- to general belief, the tem-
perature was nearly normal, being 35.4
degrees, against an average of 35 de-
grees. Precipitation was 2.95 against
an average of 4.08. April has during
the first few days been bitterly cold,
with high winds, sharp frosts and snow.
A. F. Coolidge, at the Boston Co-
operative Market, has an excellent lot
of cyclamens, azaleas and genistas.
John Barr's new variegated carna-
tion, Mrs. B. P. Cheney, has a host of
admirers and Mr. Barr has booked lots
of orders for it.
Welch Bros, report satisfactory busi-
ness in connection with their display
at the National Flower Show, P. Welch
was in evidence everywhere during the
entire run of the big show and no one
is more pleased at its financial success.
E. J. Rogean and Mann Bros, are
each handling cut Lilium candidum.
The latter firm has a beautiful dark
blue Spanish iris named Darling, and
an abundance of speciosum lilies.
F. L. Hardy, of Natick, is in the
market with quantities of superb snap-
dragons, which are eagerly bought.
Ernest Stickel, salesman for the
Montrose Greenhouses, reports business
as good. They shipped roses last week
as far as Montreal and New Bruns-
wick. Their roses are chiefly Rich-
mond, the two Killarneys and Mrs.
Ward.
The Halifax Garden Co. is having
striking success with White Enchant-
ress carnations this season. They made
a big display of sweet peas and had
also several thousand carnations at last
week's show. Of sweet peas they now
receive 5,000 to 6,000 daily.
W. C. Ward, of Quincy the pansy
specialist, plants practically all his
houses to this popular flower. Thomas
Pegler handles from 8,000 to 15,00u
flowers daily from him.
A call at the local seed stores showed
that all hands were rushed to the limit
to keep abreast of orders. The contin
ued cold weather has somewhat delayed
counter trade and the season promises
to be more prolonged than usual.
Letters received from J. W. Duncan,
lately of this city and now of Spokane,
Wash., show that he is busy on plana
for new parks and will plant trees and
shrubs heavily this spring. He has
become quite settled in his new north-
western home.
One of the most beautiful wreaths I
have seen for some time was a large
one quite loosely made of Ericas melan-
thera and Mediterranea mixed. The
white and purple colors harmonized
beautifully. The wreath was one of
P. L. Carbone's for the late Mrs: E.
V. R. Thayer's funeral April 1.
J. A. Pettigrew left for a visit to
Chicago April 2, with a number of
other city officials, including Mayor
Fitzgerald, to study some of the munic-
ipal improvements of that city, includ-
ing the parks and playgrounds.
The weather continues so cold here
that nurserymen have so far been able
to dig only a small quantity of nursery
stoc': and it looks as though they would
;ijriin experience a short, strenuous sea-
son.
The Baltimore boys were much in
evidence during last week's exhibition,
handing invitations to everyone to
come there in August, and Boston as a
result of the show will undoubtedly
send one of the largest delegations it
has ever sent to a convention.
The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, in common with the Boston Cham-
ber of Commerce, has invited the Amer-
ican Nurserymen's Association to hold
the 1911 convention in Boston in June
next. Horticultural hall has been of-
fered as a meeting place.
Charles Holbrow, of Brighton, has
just pulled out two houses of sweet
peas and planted them with tomatoes.
He thinks there are no better houses
than those of King construction.

OBITUARY.
Thomas T. Connor.
Thomas T. Connor, superintendent
at Holmesdale, the estate of William
Pollock, at Pittsfield, Mass., died
March 28, at the age of 65 years, after
an illness of several weeks from grip,
with complications of Bright 's disease.
He was born in Newbridge, Kildare
county, Ireland, in 1846, but came to
America in 1866 and made his home
in Pittsfield, where he almost imme-
diately began his long service with the
Pollock family, first at Greytower and
later at Holmesdale. He had a high
reputation as a florist and landscape
gardener. He married Miss Mary Mc-
Carthy, April 15, 1873. He is survived
by five sons, Thomas P., head gardener
on the estate of Col. O. H. Payne, at
Westport, N. Y.; George W., of Pitts-
field; Dr. John E., of Rochester; Dr.
William H., of the United States navy,
now stationed in Samoa; Robert J.,
and a foster daughter, Mrs. Edward
Hunting, of Albany, N. Y.
William Glory.
A report of the death of William
Clory, a grower at 411 South Tenth
street, Coshocton, O., has just been re-
ceived. No further particulars have yet
been learned.
Mrs. Anton Brosch.
Mrs. Lister Beatrice Brosch, wife of
Anton Brosch, Lynchburg, Va., died
March 29, at St. Andrew's hospital^
after suffering severely for several
months. Her death was not unexpected,
as her condition had been critical for
two or three days. She was born in
Lynchburg forty-seven years ago, and
was married in October, 1883. Asso-
ciated with her husband in the business
of florist, she met with a large number
of people who loved flowers, and whom
she always received hospitably. In her
business transactions she was the sou!
of honor. She is survived by her hus-
band, by two sons, Emmett A. and
Frank .T. Brosch, and by four daugh-
ters, Theresa, Agnes K., Cecile L. and
Lois E. Brosch.
F. Haussmann.
F. Haussman, a well known nursery-
man and florist of Los Angeles, Cal..
died March 9, at the age of 56 years,
after an illness of five months, leaving
a widow and a son and daughter. The
son, Milton, was only 22 years old.
Grieving over his father's death, the
young man became unnaturally morose
and melancholy, and shot himself March
23, two weeks after his father's death.
The daughter, Pauline, expects to man-
age the business.
MILDEW ON EUONYMUS.
Under separate cover I am sending
a twig of variegated euonymus affected
with something which looks like mil-
dew. I have two lots of plants affected ;
one grown in a cool house and the other
in a warm house, with plenty of light
and air and water. Can you tell me
what is the cause of this and give me
a remedy? E. O.
The shoot forwarded was badly af-
fected with mildew. This euonymus is
hardy where the minimum temperature
does not drop lower than 20 degrees
below zero. A warm house would make
it soft and an easy prey for mildew. If
kept under glass at all, the house should
be quite cold; in fact, a coldframe
would be better than a house with arti
ficial heat. Soft growths made during
winter are likely to become mildewy,
but if you keep the plants dormant dur
ing the short days, there is little likeli-
hood of any trouble. The only remedy
you can apply is to dust the plants with
flowers of sulphur and keep them out of
cold drafts. C. W.

quantity of fine roses which were used
in decorating for the annual ladies'
night of the Wakefield Merchants' and
Business Men's Association, in Flanley
hall, Wakefield, Mass.
Tyler, Tex. — Mrs. Frank Hewitt says
that the last year's business was fine,
in spite of the prolonged drought. Here,
in eastern Texas, she say^, there is a
splendid water supply, the best of nat-
ural springs, which never fail. The
fruit crop was damaged somewhat by
the frost of February 21 to 24, but there
is still a prospect of a good yield of
peaches.
Exeter, N. H. — George H. McAlpine,
who about a year ago purchased the
tract of land known as the Wiggin
field, is erecting on the property a Lord
& Burnham iron-frame greenhouse, 60x
400, to be used for the growing of

Hesults bring advertising.

Get a reputation for doing the right

It is surprising how many men make
their business the operation of green-
houses and are content to get along with-
out a printed letter-head.
Tank cypress, the grade that is used
by the greenhouse builders, is scarce in
the south and the material men who do
not carry stocks are having their own
troubles.
Glass has reached a lower price than
has heretofore been quoted this season,
or in years. Indeed, so low is the price
that it is thought it must entail a loss
to the manufacturers.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Eeview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Publication of the illustration of Ar-
istolochia grandiflora Sturtevantii, the
goose plant, has developed the fact that
stock of it is scarce. If you have goose
plants for sale, let The Eeview know.
Nothing better illustrates the general
prosperity in the trade, and the confi-
dence that there is to be no check to that
prosperity, than the extremely large addi-
tion to greenhouse area to be made this
season.
The American Gladiolus Society has
just issued Bulletin No. 2, containing a
number of short articles on the gladiolus
and .a list of the members of the 80ci3ty,
keyed to show whether professional grow-
ers or amateurs.
A GROWER operating a fairly large
range of houses, charging up salary for
himself, interest on investment, deprecia-
tion and running expenses, finds it costs
him 30 cents a square foot of bench space
a ye^;' to carry on his business. He has
dropped as unprofitable several crops that
are quite generally grown.
After such a magnificent record as
Boston has made with the second Na-
tional Flower Show, completely eclipsing
the initial effort at Chicago in 1908, what
city seeks the opportunity to carry the
banner of floricultural progress on to
yet greater heights? Don't all speak
at once.

NAME OF FUCHSIA.
I am sending you a fuchsia plant with
one bloom on it and want to ask you
the name of it. Is it a vining or trail-

variety, but makes an excellent bush
plant for pot culture. C. W.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
The latter part of last week afforded
a strong contrast to the first part. The
beginning of the week saw possibly the
lowest prices and the lightest demand
that have been noted during the lenten
season, but there was a change March 30
and those who had booked the large
shipping orders for carnations, to go out
the last day of the month for the Satur-
day sales, found themselves in more or
less of a predicament, as only the poor-
est of stock, the accumulations from
the earlier days of the week, could then
be had at the cheap prices. April
opened with reduced receipts in prac-
tically all lines of stock and something
like stable market conditions were
quickly reestablished. Not that there
is any shortage, but that supply and
demand are now fairly well balanced.
For this condition credit generally is
given to the cold and darker weather.
Where the early part of March was
much warmer than normal, the latter
part has been wintry. Those closest in
touch with the situation say that crops
have not run their course, but merely
are held back by weather conditions.
As showing the effect of supply on
demand, while there is no change in the
situation as regards Beauties, there is
scarcely any demand for them. Buyers
have had so much trouble in getting
their orders filled that they no longer
accept orders calling for Beauties and
those houses which have moderate re-
ceipts of first-class long Beauties find
scarcely any call for them. Of Kil-
larney, White Killarney and Eichmond
there continues to be an abundant sup-
ply, though the legitimate demand is
now consuming the greater part of the
receipts. The quality of the stock is
excellent.
Carnations are coming in rather more
plentifully than other flowers, but are
cleaning up in good shape at prices that
are normal for a fortnight before

A NICE CROP OF CATTLEYAS NOW ON
Order Some Today.
EASTER LILIES
Really good Lilies will not be plentiful this Easter — too many ready too soon, too much disease,
too many short stems. But OUr Lilies will be fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy and
even; mostly long stems. Protect yourself by placing your order with us now. joo looo
Long stems, the best in the market $15.00 $125.00
Medium stems, fine flowers 12.50 100.00

These will run three to five flowers to the stem, will be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100
and shipped without rehandling.
KILLARNEYS
Tiiese are extra fine and plentiful.
Retailers should order freely of our Killarney and White Killamey,
for we are certain that these roses, at the prices we now are able to
make on them, will win friends for us by making friends for those who
buy of us. Finer Killameys never were seen — better flowers, stronger stems
or more perfect foliage — the crop is so large that we are able to give the trade
the advantage of lower prices than they ever before were able to get such
fine roses at. All lengths can be supplied in quantity.
Order some of these roses today and you w^ill reorder
every day.
CARNATIONS
We have never had a finer lot of stock, nor do we recall a season when
prices have been more reasonable. Write for quotations on thousand lots-
push for business and you will find this one of the most profitable seasons
of the year.
SWEET PEAS
For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never
have had at this date such fine stock or such large quantities as now. Extra
long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as
white and pink. We are shipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great
quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction.

CARNATIONS
Year after year we handle more Carnations than any other house in the west — possibly more than any
other house in the country. It is the kind of stock that carries; that's why we do such a very
large and steady shipping trade in Carnations. For Easter the supply will be extremely heavy and the
quality extra good. Place a big order; you'll need them, for the Easter business increases every year.

feaster. Bulbous stock, which is much
less plentiful, probably is helping the
carnations. Daffodils, jonquils and tu-
lips all are less abundant than at any
time in months. Paper Whites, Romans
and freesias seldom are seen. Predic-
tions are made that practically all bulb-
ous stock will be over by Easter, but
some of the growers are nevertheless
counting on their usual supply. There
are heavy receipts of the southern out-
door bulbous stock and some of it is so
fine that it is selling up to $10 per
thousand, which is big money for this
market. Single violets have practically
disappeared, but doubles are holding
out well. The market is overstocked
with Easter lilies from growers whose
stock is too early. Cattleyas are abun-
dant, as is valley. Sweet peas show
the effect of the dark weather; the
winter bloomers are approaching the
end of their season; supply is lighter
and quality not so good.
There has been a sharp advance on
ferns and there are those who predict
that it will be impossible to meet the
demand with strictly first-class stock
within the next few weeks.
Easter Prospects.
With Easter rapidly approaching,
there is little change in the prospect.
There is reiterated report that prac-"
tically all the lilies are short, though
each grower adds: "I will have a fair
quantity of long stock. ' ' That lilies of
the shorter lengths will be abundant is
shown by the disposition to shade prices
where quantities are taken; strictly
first-class long lilies are being closely
held. It is considered that the weather

conditions that are retarding rose and
carnation crops will operate to increase
the Easter cuts and improve the quality.
Beauties will be the only scarcity. The
retailers, both city and in the country,
feel confident that the Easter supply
will be large. The evidence of it is
that while they are writing a lot of
letters asking for quotations, they are
in no hurry whatever to place orders.
It indicates an immense rush as Easter
approaches.
March Business.
"Comparisons are odious" — when
they do not show in our favor — but it
really is not possible to compare the
business of March with the month in
1910. Easter came in March last year,
whereas it was Lent all through last
month. Supplies were large and prices
weak all through the month, but the rec-
ord of gross sales would have been
quite satisfactory had it not been for
the comparison with a year ago.
March Weather.
As a whole March was much warmer
and much brighter than usual — the
weather man's figures bear out what
market conditions had already told.
The first part of the month was warmer

than the latter part, but the mean tem-
perature was 39 degrees against a nor
mal of 34.4. The percentage of pos-
sible sunshine was 63 against a normal
of only 52. There were eleven clear
days and nine partly cloudy, with only
eleven on which there was no sun, a
most unusual record for March. The
rainfall was slightly more than half the
normal and has been since January 1
about two inches less than in the aver-
age year.

Year after year, no matter how scarce really good Lilies may be, we always have a large supply of

Budlong's New Store.
April 3 J. A. Budlong opened for
business in the new store at 82 to 86
East Eandolph street. A new ice-box
9x20 feet and eight feet high had been
installed, with new tabling and nicely
equipped offices. The Budlong estab-
lishment occupies the west half of the
room and after May 1 Sinner Bros.,
M. C. Gunterberg, Mrs. Beu and Hunt
Bros, will occupy the east half. The
room has an all glass front, with three
entrances, and is in every way excel-
lently adapted to the needs of the
wholesale cut flower business. On the
opening day there were a large nuni
ber of visitors other than the regular
customers.
Various Notes.
Tim Matchen says Ivory is about to
say adieu — since White Killarney came
in no one wants the white sport of Gate,
and Peter Eeinberg, who is about the
only one growing it in any quantity,
will drop it after this season.
Paul Rieth & Co., Downers Grove,
have flowered a fine batch of geraniums
for Easter.
Harry Rowe is preparing to hold an
Easter opening. It is the first time he
has had the advantage of a conserva-
tory in handling the Easter rush.
The Florists' Club will hold its month-
ly meeting at the Union restaurant to-
night, April 6. President Philpott is
in town. Several new members are to
be elected and there will be reports on
the Boston show.
John Kruchten spent April 5 at Deer-
field. 111., where the gardenias come
from.
Word has been received by the E. C.
Amling Co. that the president of the
corporation left Orange, Cal., for home
April 1 and is due here over the north-
ern route April 7.
W. L. Palinsky has decided to sell
his branch store at 2.541 California
avenue.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. was first in the
market this season with Spanish iris.
E. B. Washburn has been on the sick
list for several days.
Zech & Mann were first in the mar-
ket with fancy long antirrhinums and
say they have been an excellent seller.
Robert Northam, who has charge of
George Reinberg's store, says the cold
weather has been much to the advan^
tage of the rose crops. He predicts a
bad shortage of ferns before the south-
ern stock is ready.
The Hubert Bulb Co., Portsmouth,
Va., is steadily increasing its shipments
of jonquils to C. W. McKellar, who says
he expects the crop to be at its height
for Easter.

says the supply business is the heaviest
yet known for Easter.
Weiland & Bisch say conditions are
shaping themselves so that there will be
no question of Easter supplies.
Harry Manheim says March business
with Hoerber Bros, was ahead of a year
ago in spite of the fact that Easter fell
in the month in 1910. Of course they
have considerable additional glass to
help the total of sales.
When P. N. Obertin, of Kenosha, was
seen at Kyle & Foerster's April 3, he
said that business is excellent in the
Wisconsin city and that a big spring is
in sight.
At Winterson's Seed Store it is said
the change in the weather has shut off
the counter trade, which early last
week had begun to assume the propor-
tions of a rush.
Vaughan & Sperry say that Easter
inquiries and orders began to arrive
freely with the mail of April 3.
Frank Johnson made a flying trip to
Boston for the National Flower Show.
He took the Lake Shore's 18-hour train
going east March 29, spent Thursday
and Friday at the show, Saturday in
New York, and was back at his desk
Monday morning, having made the re-
turn journey on the Pennsylvania's 18-
hour flyer. Carl Thomas has returned
to his home at West Springfield, Pa.
A. L. Bandall is doing jury duty.
Wietor Bros, believe in taking time
by the forelock. Several of their Beauty
houses had been replanted before the
end of March.
The rooms in the Atlas block to be
occupied by D. Freres, Hertha V. Ten-
ner and the Chicago Carnation Co. are
vacant and orders have been given for
their fitting up in first-class style for
the wholesale florists.
There have been more than the usual
number of visitors this week. Among
them were: J. A. Pettigrew, Boston;
P. N. Obertin, Kenosha, Wis.; P. M.
Palez, Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. Kemp,
Newark, O. ; Gust. Frederickson, St. Joe,

The Market.
The market last week was all that
could be desired by the retailers, as
there was plenty of stock at reasonable
prices, and in some cases in large lots
at the buyer's own price; this was espe-
cially the case with carnations, sweet
peas and tulips. Lilies were in good
demand, with callas in greater supply
than Harrisii. Fancy long Beauties
were scarce, with some demand, but
shorts were plentiful. For other roses
there was a good demand and the con-
signments were large. Some extra fine
Brides and Maids are now in the mar-
ket, but Killarney and White Killarney
have the call. Good Richmond and
Ivory are also handled.
Perns are becoming scarce and the
price is up to $3 per thousand. All
other greens are plentiful.
Monday, April 3, the market opened
well, the wholesalers cleaning up pretty
well in everything. There was some
advance in prices over last week, but
stock will be more abundant by the end
of the week, with prices down a cent or
two.
Various Notes.

splendid time and royal treatment from
the Boston florists.
In the local city bowling tournament,
which is now being rolled, three florists '

week and made good scores.
W. H. Kennedy, of Chicago, repre-
senting the American Paper Box Co.,
called on the trade last week.
The Paris Floral Co., under the man-
agement of F. J, Foster and young Fred
Foster, has completed improvements
which give it the much needed extra
room. They are making extensive win-

handled by them.
A. G. Greiner came near losing his
right hand by a bad case of blood poi-
soning caused by a scratch of a nail in

The Kohr Floral Co., of South Broad-
way, has opened a branch store on
South Grand avenue, in the new Turner
hall building. Mr, Kohr thinks it a
better location than the old one.
The Retail Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting April 3, in the
Knights of Columbus hall. President
Sanders presided and the attendance
was large.
The Grand Leader, one of our largest
department stores, advertises that it
will sell 200,000 catalpa trees for 1 cent
each. These will be offered to the
school children, to make the celebration
of Arbor day the most successful the
city has yet had. The sale began April 3.
The Ladies' Home Circle held its reg-

' The Rising Eastern Market.
The cut flower situation is fairly sat-
isfactory for the season. Cool weather
has kept the supply from increasing too
fast and has enabled the growers to
maintain ar'nd even improve the quality,
while the demand, most important of
all, is ' f aiT. Under these conditions
prices are good for the season, though
never approaching fancy, except on
Beauties and dark cattleyas. Single
violets from the winter-blooming plants
in heated houses are about done with;
the flowers from cold houses and frames
are in prospect. Double violets are in
fair supply and promise well for Easter.
Carnations are fine; at times they are
in excess of the demand. Some mag-
nificent sweet peas are coming into
town, with promise of big crops soon.
Roses, too, are excellent and plentiful,
barring Beauties. Snapdragons are of
more consequence, though they sell
cheaply. Lilac is active and abundant.
Daffodils have slackened in anticipation
of the southern army, which has been a
disappointment so far, owing probably
to the unusual cold for April. The bal-
ance of the flower list receives fair
attention, except daisies and light or-
chids. Double Killarney, used until now
for propagating, has made its appear
ance among the roses.
A Retail Grower's Easter Plants.
We were all retail growers a few
years ago, before the days of those
wonderfully successful men. the whole-
sale commission florists. Wje produced
what we thought we could sell in our
immediate neighborhood and then went
running around among each other to
dispose of the surplus. Of course those
of us in the best locations, opposite a
good live cemetery, did well, while the
rest of us had a hard time. Then came
the days of centralization. The fash-
ionable florists in the heart of the city
made greater and greater demands on
our resources, and to their aid came the
wholesalers. But the retail grower in a
populous suburb is still one of the most
important factors floricultnrally. He
feels the pulse of the flower-loving pub-
lic with a more h^man knowledge of its
EASTER LILIES
Our Lilies will be good and« best of all, will have stems, medium or long as
you wish. The price is 12c per flow^er or bud. Better place your order now,

needs than any other. What he grows
for Easter is of especial interest.
William Berger has erected five well
equipped greenhouses in the rear of his
handsome new store on Germantown
avenue north of School lane. They are
filled with a carefully chosen and well
grown lot of Easter and spring plants.
The Easter plants show a preference
for medium sizes and for bright colors.
The leaders are azaleas, rhododendrons,
genistas, hydrangeas, daisies in white
and yellow, lilies and frame after frame
full "of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths.
A feature of the houses is the sweet
peas, bench-grown for May blooming,
pot-grown for outside planting to cut
for June commencements. The re-
mainder of the place is filled with deco-
rative, blooming and soft-wood plants
for bedding out, all showing careful
culture.

Charles Mecky has one of the pret-
tiest lots of Easter plants, at his place
on Limekiln pike, east of Chelten ave-
nue, that one could wish to see. There
are just three varieties, genistas, hy-
drangeas and daisies. But any one of
the three is worth a trip to see. You
want to know why! Because each one
is perfectly grown. The genistas are
hard as nails, the daisies look like a

ered, each like the other, shapely, while
the hydrangeas were a revelation to ine.
There are 8,000 of them, in 6-inch pots,,
as even as the daisies, which is saying a
good deal, three to four flowers each
and beautifully timed. The point about
those hydrangeas that was most sur-
prising was that though grown on side
tables, that is in houses with center
walk only, the back plant next to the
gutter was like the front plant next to
the walk. When you consider that there
were six plants in each row on a 4-foot
table that is saying a great deal. Mr.
Mecky himself does all the watering on
these Easter plants and I doubt whether
there are many of us who could water
them as well, or nearly as well. The
balance of the place is filled with well
grown roses, in charge of William
Mecky, and of . geraniums and other
spring plants.
Otaksa grown pink is the only hy-
drangea forced. Mr. Mecky believes
blue will not take so surely as pink:
The uniformity of his plants is attribut-
able to the careful selection of the cut-
tings and the attention given them.
They are now in 214-inch pots for next
season's blooming and will be brought
on slowly into 6-inch, the popular flow-
ering size. The white daisies are mainly
Chrysanthemum frutescens, so well
grown that one would not miss Queen
Alexandra were not a few grown for
variety's sake. Mr. Mecky says that
while the flowers of Queen Alexandra
are larger, this variety does not bloom
freely enough to make the effect of the
older sort. A thousand plants must be
grown to get a hundred covered with
bloom at once, while with Chrysanthe-
mum frutescens nearly all come into

daily as Easter approaches. Already the
plantsmen have their orders booked and
their selected stock is sold. Medium
priced plants have the call.
There is an abundance of everything
in the cut flower line, with an indigest-
ible surplus of violets and southern daf-
fodils. If there is any shortage it is in
the highest grade of American Beauty
roses. The clean-up the last of the week
was not complete in either violets or
carnations and the street on Monday,
April 3, was flooded with them. The
usual education of the public goes on at
the flower departments of the big dry
goods stores, and it is difficult to find
anything missing there in plant or
flower, fruit tree, bulb or seed.
Plenty of roses are arriving, Kil-
larney predominating and apparently
losing none of its popularity. The new
kinds come in slowly and are snapped
up by the leading stores for window
attractions. It is hard to lift the value
of carnations, with so many arriving.
Some grand stock sold under 2 cents
April 1. In quality they have never
been excelled. There is the promise of
a good supply for Easter, but the day of
high prices is past and because of this
cut flowers will again take their legiti-
mate place in public patronage.
Enormous shipments of violets are
arriving. The street is the only relief
for the gorged market. There they sell
at 15 cents a bunch and every corner of
the big city is blue with them. These,
with valley, daffodils and roses, make
up the attractively displayed offerings
of the street men.
There will be a wide call for orchids
for Easter and the promise is for a suf-
ficiency; all the wholesalers are han-
dling them in quantity. The abundance
of bulbous stock of all kinds makes the
disposal of tulips and daffodils espe-
cially difficult.
Eetailers generally are optimistic and
are buying as heavily as usual. Stock,
weather and revival of general business
combine to stimulate the courage and
enterprise of the florists in every de-
partment of the trade. The streets in
the downtown district are already dis-
playing hardy roses, fruit trees, vines,
shrubs, and everything the suburbanite
desires. The seedsmen are busy night
and day, the auctions are crowded with
buyers, and prices are satisfactory.
Various Notes.
The New Yorkers are all back from
the Boston show and without exception
the verdict is that it was "the greatest
show on earth."

There will be special exhibits, many
echoes of the flower show, a spring

SCALE ON ELMB.
I am sending you a branch of an elm
tree. What is the matter with it and
how can the trouble be overcome f
S. C. C.
The portions of branches forwarded
were almost completely crusted with
scurfy scale. While less destructive than
the San Jose scale, which attacks ap-
Sles, pears, peaches, plums, hawthorns,
apanese quince, many roses, lilacs, pop-
lars, willows, oranges and quite a vari-
ety of other trees and shrubs, the scurfy
scale, like the oyster shell variety, will
kill out entire branches and trees if not
destroyed. To kill the scale, spraying
must be done while the trees are dor-
mant. You must either use the lime-
sulphur solution, which you can pur-
chase ready made or prepare yourself,
or one of the various oil solutions, such
as Scalecide. Probably one of the solu-
ble oils would be the easiest for you to
apply. Use a barrel pump mounted on
an express wagon; if the trees are large,
climbing will be necessary. The scale
will be found principally on the young,
smooth wood. Use a nozzle which throws
a fine, misty spray, and be sure to
moisten every portion of the wood, as
any scales left breed with incredible
rapidity.
This spraying cannot be done except
when the trees are dormant, as the
strength needed to kill the scale would
also destroy all the foliage. It would
be well to examine other trees and
shrubs, especially, some of those I have
mentioned, which are also liable to have
scale upon them. In the case of small
or medium sized trees or shrubs found
badly attacked, the best remedy is to
pull them up and burn them. C. W.

Portland, Ore. — It is said that the
Martin & Forbes Co., after using a
Buick motor truck for delivery pur-
poses for about six months, has pro-
nounced the experiment a decided suc-
cess, as the auto car is not only more
serviceable than wagons and messen-
gers, but also less expensive in the end.
Clifton Forge, Va. — O. C. Ports, who
purchased a 20-acre tract of land here
a few months ago, now has the estab-
lishment .about ready for operation and
will conduct business under the name of
O. C. Ports & Son. He has completed
one greenhouse and has also erected a
residence, a poultry house and a barn.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^
Seven Pages of Retailers' Cards
This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili-
ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help-
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and
make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service
for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city
represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not
represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion.
Why not send your order today — now — before you forget it?
INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market
A visit to the different flower stores
and the flower market finds them well
supplied with all the different spring
flowers. In almost everything there is
more stock than is required. Trade has
been rather light, the greatest call be-
ing for funeral work, with the demand
for social entertainments not so large
as during the early winter months.
The weather has been cold for the
last ten days, which did a g^reat deal
toward holding the bulk stock back for
Easter. The previous hot weather ad-
vanced them so far that a number of
florists thought they could not hold
stock till Easter. The indications are
that Easter lilies will be abundant this
year, as plenty of fine plants are to be
seen.
Beauties are still poor. Bride, Maid,
Killarney, Bichmond and My Maryland
are of good quality, and more than
enough to go around. Stock of all kinds
is abundant for the amount of business,
with the exception of green goods,
which are a little short.
Various Notes.
W. W. Coles was in the city last
week, attending the ceremonial of the
Shriners and visiting the different flo-
rists. He has just returned from a
three months' visit in Texas and the
southern states. He is much taken
with Texas and would like to locate
there permanently.
William Langstaff, who has been ill
for some time, is again able to be
about.
E. A. Nelson has purchased two more
delivery wagons. Mrs. Nelson, who has
been seriously ill, is much improved.
Mr. Nims, with the A. H. Hews Pot-
tery Co., was a caller last week. He
reaches the city only twice a year, but
has many customers here.
John Heidenreich has a fine lot of
lilies, cinerarias, azaleas and other
blooming plants for Easter.
Edgar Stewart, of Anderson, spent
a few days in the city last week.
Homer Wiegand has been laid up
with the grip for the last week.
A. F. J. Baur, Irwin Bertermann and
Henry Bieman were among the Indi-
anapolis florists who attended the flow-
er show last week.

PEOVIDENCE.
The Market.
Business last week was confined al-
most entirely to funeral work, but of
this there was cons'iderable and of a
better quality than usual. No social
functions of any description assisted in
brightening the conditions. The dearth
of business, however, was not so much
noticed as might have been the case at
almost any other time. With the prepa-
rations for the Easter trade and the
National Flower Show at Boston, the
week passed swiftly and few realized
business conditions. From all sides
come encouraging reports as to the
quantity and quality of stock of all
kinds for Easter, and already the van-
guard has made its appearance.
Visitors to Boston.
Seldom has there been a more gen-
eral response to any invitation than
to the one issued by the Florists' and
Gardeners' Club of Bhode Island for a
visit to the National Flower Show at
Boston, March 28. The party was an-
nounced to leave here at 9 o'clock, and
at that time more than a score assem-
bled for the trip. All returned fully
repaid and several made second trips
during the week. Among those who
attended the show were Eobert Johns-
ton, Albert Holscher, Michael Sweeney,
Charles H. Hunt, Eugene Appleton,
Frank E. Saunders, J. Frank Schellin-
ger, Eobert Van Meter and wife, Fred-

Albert Holscher was a heavy buyer
at the flower show. Among his pur-
chases were 7,500 lily of the valley
roots.
Eichard J. Taylor, of East Green-
wich, was the victim of a peculiar acci-
dent a few days ago. He was at work
repairing one of his houses, when he
stepped on a nail in an old board. The
nail penetrated his shoe and inflicted
a painful wound. As he attempted to
step back so as to pull the nail from
the foot he stepped with his other foot
upon another nail, inflicting a similar
wound.

Onion sets are acting even worse this
year than last.
Counter trade is lackadaisical — sales
md sap go up at about the same time and
the weather thus far is too cold for a
real start.
The Iowa bill giving to seedsmen the
right to sell insecticides, for many years
a monopoly with the pharmacists, has be-
come a law.
In the list of the contributors to the
campaign fund of Charles E. Merriam,
who was not elected mayor of Chicago
April 4, appears the name of Charles
Dickinson with $1,100 set opposite.
While the peak of the mail order seed
season is passed, there remains a large
volume of business to be done; the
weather has been unfavorable for weeks
over a large section of the country.
A REPORT from Denver states that the
Barteldes Seed Co. has joined the ranks
of the corporations. The capital is
$300,000, and the incorporators are F. W.
Barteldes, Max Wilhelmi and Jeannet
Uhrlaub.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
March 27 issued a bulletin entitled ' ' The
Home Production of Onion Seed and
Sets," by W. K. Beattie, of the Bureau
of Plant Industry. It gives an account
of the methods employed in the trade for
the production of both seeds and sets.
Taking the three months of the seed
season, January, February and March,
the record to date with most of the
mail order houses stands about on a par
with last year. There would be no cause
for complaint except that, of course, an
increase had been hoped for and many
seeds cost more this season, so that the
general margin of profit is not so good.
The latter part of March brought the
catalog houses an excellent run of mail
orders, and the month as a whole made
a fair record, although the older houses
are not able to report anything out of
the ordinary in number or size of orders.
The many young concerns that are push-
ing into the trade in more or less local
territory are, most of them, making good
progress and have apparently absorbed
this season a considerable part of the
natural increase in the demand for seeds.
THE NEW CHAIBMAN.
With Congress again in session, the
democrats have control of the House
and Hon. James K. Mann, while rated
as one of the strongest men in that
branch of the government, loses a large
part of his power with the succession
of William C. Adamson, of Georgia, to
the chainnanship of the Committee on

The Weekly Florists' Review.
Afbil 6, 1911.
Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Mr.
Adamson was a member of the com-
mittee during Mr. Mann's chairman-
ship. He has attended the hearings
given the seed trade and has a good
grasp on the subject of pure seed leg-
islation. That Mr. Adamson does not
take the matter so seriously as does
Mr. Mann, but that he nevertheless
expects to see progress along the lines -
of recent restrictive legislation, is
shown by his reply to Kirby B. White,
of Perry & Co., at the hearing of Feb-
ruary 2:
Mr. White: "Is Congress ready to
embark on the field of federal regula-
tion with regard to saying that the
purchaser of every 5-cent packet of
seeds, or every $2 pair of shoes, or
every ice cream freezer, or anything
of that kind, shall get his money's
worth!"
Mr. Adamson: "We have already
entered upon it, and in less than
twenty-five years they will trim the
corns and toe nails and name the
babies. ' '
DODGING THE DUTIES?
Congressman James E. Mann, who is
not from Missouri, but who nevertheless
has to be shown, harbors a new suspi-
cion of wrongdoing against the seed
trade — he fears dutiable seeds may be
escaping the payment of duty because
of similarity of appearance of seeds
that are on the free list. Pursuing in-
vestigation along this line, he and Kirby
B. White, of D. M. Ferry & Co., had
the following dialogue at the recent
hearing on pure seed bills at Wash-
ington:
Mr. Mann. Can you tell sugar-beet
seed from garden-beet seedf
Mr. White. N«, sir.
Mr. Mann. Can you tell mangel-wur-
zel seed from garden-beet seedf
Mr. White. I am not a seed expert;
I do not know whether they can be dis-
tinguished, but I can not tell them.
Mr. Mann. You say you are not a
seed expert. I supposed you were here
as a seed expert.
Mr. White. I have been engaged in
the seed business for seventeen years,
and of necessity any business is diver-
sified and requires specialization, and
my specialization has not been along
the line of determining from the ap-
pearance of the seed what that variety
is,
Mr. Mann. But you come as an ex-
pert and tell us that you can not mix
weed seed with garden seed, that you
can not tell the varieties of garden seed,
and that it is impossible to tell the
viability.
Mr. White. I have told the things
which I knew.
Mr. Mann. Are you an expert on
those three things f
Mr, White. So far as the statements
I have made here are concerned, I
know they are true. More than that, I
make no claim to be an expert.
Mr. Mann. Is the trade able to dis-
tinguish the difference between a man-
gel-wurzel seed and a garden-beet seedf
Mr. White. So far as I am concerned,
I can not. I do not know what the
rest of the trade can do. I can refer
you to some other seedsmen here who
can answer that.
Mr. Mann, You know, there is a
tariff of 4 cents a pound on garden-beet
seed, and no tariff on mangel-wurzel
seed or sugar-beet seed.

Apbil 6, 1911.
Mr. "White. That is quite true.
Mr. Mann. Do you think there is any
garden-beet seed imported into the coun-
try as sugar-beet seed!
Mr. White. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Mann. Do you think there is
any?
Mr. "White. I do not.
Mr. Mann. Do you think there is
any way of determining whether there
is or not, so far as the custom-house is
concerned?
Mr. "White. If the seeds are not dis-
tinguishable by the appearance, I do
not see how there is any way.
Mr. Mann. You know there is a
tariff of 8 cents a pound on kale seed,
and no tariff on seed; can the
trade distinguish the difference by the
appearance of the seeds?
Mr. "White. Not so far as I know.
Mr. Mann. There is a tariff of 4
cents a pound on turnip seed, but no
tariff on mustard seed; can they be dis-
tinguished by the appearance?
Mr. "White. Not so far as I know.-
Mr. Kennedy. They can by taste,
can they not?
Mr. "White. They might distinguish
mustard, but the other seeds are so
nearly alike that I do not believe they
could distinguish them.

PROPOSED ENGLISH SEED LAW.
A bill has been introduced in the
English House of Commons to amend
the existing seed law along the lines
of the seed legislation American seeds-
men have been fighting so strenuously
the last few years. It is evidently
the intention to make purity and ger-
mination the principal if not the only
object of the proposed tests, and to set
up an artificial standard of purity and
germination, with penalties, by expo-
sure and .otherwise, upon the seller in
cases where this standard is not
reached.
"No one who knows anything what-
ever of the seed trade," says the Hor
ticultural Advertiser (British), in com
menting on the bill, "needs to be told
that germinating power is largely a
matter of climatic conditions beyond
human control, and what is much more
important, that the percentage of ger-
mination is, in many cases, far less
important to the buyer than that the
seed should be true to type. Many
highly bred strains of seed do not show
a high percentage of germination, but
the buyer would vastly prefer to have

NOVELTIES
We take this opportunity to announce to the American nursery trade that
we are big growers of novelties in Rosea.
We buy every year all the novelties which appear anywhere in the world.
We propagate all the varieties of the sets during the first year they are in
our posst'.-sion ; we study them and offer in our Wholesale Catalogfue of
Nursery Stocks and Roses those that we have noted as among the best.
We continue to propasjate and study them as novelties during three
years, and afterwards transfer the very best into our general collection.
Owing to the great attention that we devote to this culture and the impor-
tance of our collection of Roses, an inspection of our nurseries in summer will
be of great interest and profit for our American colleagues when on a trip in
Euroi)e.
Our Wholesale Catalogpue of Roses and Nursery Stocks will be
sent on demand.

purpose, than take an inferior strain

In discussing the matter, Pennell &
Sons, the well-known growers at Lin-
coln, say:
"Lincolnshire is a large seed-produc-
ing county, exporting great quantities
of certain seeds to several parts of
the globe, and in consequence is vi-
tally interested in this question. We
do not think the promoters of this bill
fully realize that they may do con-
siderable damage to the farmer and
seed grower without benefiting anyone
in a corresponding degree. Agricul-
tural seed is not a manufactured ar-
ticle; the seedsman cleans it and deals
in it, but he does not make it. He has
to receive it from the grower, and
Lincolnshire seed is frequently of lower
germination than seed grown in the
south and seed grown abroad, yet it
has a genuine character and a vigor

of constitution which is much appre-
ciated by consumers. The effect of a
rigid standard of germination would
be that in seven seasons out of ten
Lincolnshire seed would be barred al-
together, and would be unsalable.
"It makes no difference to the seeds-
man whether he procures the seed he
sells from farmers in England or
whether he procures it from abroad,
and if he is driven to supply only seed
of the highest germination he will be
compelled to deal in foreign seed, to
the detriment of the home trade and
the home producer.
"Moreover, the germination test is
most misleading; many foreign seeds
of high germination produce in Eng-
land, and Lincolnshire especially, only
a very poor, weak crop.
"The promoters of the bill can know
little about the subject, as they ask
that vegetable seeds shall be sold sub-
ject to analysis for impurities. Now,
the word is never heard in connection
with vegetable seeds, and no analysts
in this country or in any other have
received samples of vegetable seeds
for analysis. The reason of this is that
the seed grower gathers these seeds
by hand in small quantities and leaves
any weed seeds or other impurities be-
hind. Any legislation in this direction
is therefore quite unnecessary. As re-
gards root seeds, also, few complaints
are ever made in regard to impurities,
and it would be a ridiculous provision.
Root seeds are valued according to
their stock, pedigree and genuineness,
or ability to produce good crops, rather
than upon their germination and
purity. ' '

In buying lily bulbs do you
invest or (io you speculate?
The safest plan, of course, is
to invest, and that means to
pay the price and get the
very best the market affords.
The speculation plan is to
buy the cheapest you can
and take a chance. Now if
it was only a mere specula-
tion in bulbs, the risk would
not be so great, but the real
danger in handling bad bulbs
is the loss of valuable space
in the greenhouse and the
profit on the sale of cut flow-
ers. Of course, an investment
is not always absolutely safe,
but in the long run it is much
safer than a speculation, and
every experienced grower of
lilies knows that the best
bulbs are absolutely neces-
sary for successful results and
profitable returns. If you
knew what we know about
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum
of superior quality and as-
sortment, no one could induce
you to buy other brands.
There are positively no better
lily bulbs produced in the
world, and they are as safe an
investment as you can possi-
bly make in lily bulbs.
Prices reasonable for qual-
ity delivered. Try them.

WHITE FLY ON TOMATOES.
We have planted our range of forc-
ing houses to tomatoes, with lettuce
between the tomatoes. The tomatoes
are affected with white fly. Would one
ounce of cyanide of potassium to 1,000
cubic feet injure the lettuce or the
young tomatoes? Our houses are new
and quite tight. H. F.
You can exterminate the white fly
with cyanide without injuring either
crop, and that is the only way to get
rid of the pest. You must be careful,
however, not to make the cyanide too
strong, or it will hurt the tomatoes.
One ounce to 1,000 cubic feet would be
too strong to risk. The cyanide acts
somewhat differently at different times,
depending on the length of time the
acid and water have been mixed be-
fore using, and also depending on how
dry the house is. In using gas you
must have the plants perfectly dry,
and it is better if the soil is not
watered that day, as the poison settles
quickly in moisture, burning the foliage,
but doing little harm to the insects.
White fly is easy to kill with cyanide,
and only light doses are required. This
method of fumigating is easier than
any other, once you become accustomed
to it. I have just fumigated a house
25x200 feet and seven feet to the gut-
ters. In this house I used only eight
jars, with 2-ounce doses of cyanide per
jar. This house would average ten
feet to the ridge, making 250 cubic
feet of space per lineal foot of house.
So, you see, the fumigation was not
strong, but it killed the white fly and
did not injure the tomatoes. I have
used only six jars to this house at
times, with equally good results.
Start with a weak dose and, if it
does not get them all, give it another

the following night. You will need one
later, also, to catch the young that are
now in the eggs. Mix the acid and
water in the jars about one hour be-
fore putting in the cyanide. Com-
mencing at the farther end of the
house, drop the packages carefully,
paper and all, in the jars as you pass
them. Then stay out of the house
until toward daylight; by that time it
will be perfectly safe to enter, although
the odor will still be plainly noticed.

FOKTIiAND, OBE.
The Market.
Business last week showed a decided
general improvement. With the advance
of spring weather the supply of flowers
is more varied, yet we have to handle
more business to get the same monetary
results. Sundays are usually the best
days, as there are more funerals, and
also more flowers taken to the ceme-
teries.
Carnations are in full crop of finest
quality. Roses are also improving under
the spring-like conditions. All other
stock is responding accordingly and it
keeps the florist busy to keep it moving
at a profit. Uneasiness is felt by some,
as they fear that the lilies will be too
far advanced for Easter. Shifting to
cooler houses will have to be done, in
order to have them at the appointed
time.
Fruit trees are in full bloom and come
in handy for decorations and window
effects.
Various Notes.
It is reported that Martin & Forbes
have purchased forty acres of land in
the vicinity of Forest Grove and in the
near future will erect a new plant on
the property. E. R. C.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Everything is lovely in the vicinity
of San Francisco, with the possible ex-
ception of business, and that is no worse
than it always is during the lenten sea-
son. Flowers of every description are
in oversupply and the prices are, in con-
sequence, nothing to brag of. It seems
as if the thousands of carnations and
roses are trying to make up for the
many weeks during January and Feb-
ruary when they did not nearly pay for
their board and lodging.
From all accounts at hand, we are to
have plenty of stock for Easter at fair
prices. Easter lilies are coming into
town in fair quantities and of good

we have to confine ourselves to nut and
fruit trees; not at all — shade trees will
dol
And how would you feel if you were
contributing to a "Tree Preservation"
scheme f Wouldn't you swell with
pride if you knew that partly through
your personal efforts the trees in your
home town were being saved t It is a
downright disgrace the way the trees
in some localities are permitted to go
to ruin. My own town has its draw-
backs in this respect, but we are doing
what we can. Look at the great and
efficient work Mr. Prost is doing in Chi-
cago. Of course, Chicago has more
money to spend than some of the
smaller towns, but some of our inter-
ested brethren could volunteer and
work for nothing. Some people, though,
always think they must be paid every
time they turn around. Public-spirited
men don't — that's the difference.
Why not speak to your friends, call
a mass-meeting of the citizens inter-
ested, and oflfer to advise wherever pos-
sible f Call for contributions to pay
men to do the actual labor. There is
no need to give any reasons for saving
the trees, or to mention any of the
pests — both human and otherwise — that
work their destruction. The more one
says regarding this subject the more
one wants to say. We've simply got
to keep hammering away to bring
results.
Educating the School Children.
I presume it would mean disaster if
we men, as a body, were to issue bul-
letins or circulars from time to time
giving information to the school chil-
dren on all phases of plant culture. Do
any of you think it would stir the home
decoration spirit! For instance, what
do the great mass of people know about
plants and their cultur§,t Some have
wonderful success, but don't know
why; they are simply lucky. One day
a lady asked me what to do with her
palm to make it grow. I asked her how
it looked — whether the leaves had a
good color or were turning yellow.
Then she began. She said the plant
was "simply grand," that the leaves
were a deep, glossy green, and that she
had never seen a better specimen. I
told her she had doubtless learned the

Then she wanted to know if milk
wouldn't improve it! This is only one
little incident. You have all met -with

Couldn't we reach people through the

Why couldn't each florists' club offer
its active support to the city author-

Money would be found in some way to
publish the necessary information. The

SCALE ON SYCAMORES.
Will you please tell me what to do for
my sycamores They are full of scale.
I have several of them and they are
thick with this scale. E. B.
The shoots forwarded were covered
with oyster-shell scale. You must get
rid of this or it will soon kill your trees.
Spray thoroughly with either the lime-
sulphur solution or one of the oil solu-
tions, of which there are a number on
the market. Be sure to damp every
portion of wood infested with scale. To
do this you must usfe a nozzle that
throws a fine, misty spray. Do the work
now, while the trees are dormant, as the
foliage would not withstand spraying
with a solution of suflacient strength to
kill the scale. C. W.
BOOTING ROSE CUTTINGS.
Please tell me when to put out rose
cuttings, and how to treat them in
order to root them successfully in this
Georgia climate. G. S. C.
Cuttings from hard wood should have
been planted before this date. If the
scions are dormant, types like the
Prairies, Wichuraianas and ramblers
may be planted now, but without hope
of any great success. It takes from
two to three months for cuttings to
root in the field, and therefore top
growth will have started before root
action can begin, owing to the warm
weather which now prevails. If planted
in beds, properly shaded and watered,
a greater per cent would live, but at
this date the risk would be hazardous.
Hard-wood cuttings should be taken
in the fall, as soon as sap action sus-
pends, following several sharp frosts if
possible — about November 20. Use the
current season's growth. The cuttings
should be about eight inches long, using
only such wood as is firm and thor-
oughly mature. If the plantings are
small, a good grafting knife will do the
work; if large, a French pruning
shears is by long odds the best imple-
ment. This shears makes a clean,
sharp cut and does not tire the opera-
tor. Tie the cuttings into bundles of
100. Plant as soon as made, into well
drained, sandy loam, in rows forty-two
inches apart and with four inches of
separation in the row, if for field culti-

vation; if for beds, these should be
six feet wide, with the rows eight
inches apart by two inches in the row.
Leave only the top bud exposed when
well firmed in the ground. It is usu-
ally best to bed the rows, as that af-
fords better drainage during periods of
heavy rainfall.
Should frost lift the cuttings before
they root, they should be pushed down
to firm ground. This, however, may be
done but once — .i^st before the cuttings
begin to root. Some growers cover the
cuttings entirely when planted in the
fall, but unless they are uncovered just
at the right time the following spring
inaiiv cuttings are lost.

THE BEBCKMANS BUSINESS.
Referring to an item which recently
has gone the rounds of the press, stat-
ing that the property on which the
nursery is conducted has passed to P. J.
Berckmans' widow by deed of gift, P.
J. Berckmans Co. makes the following
statement:
"The business of the Fruitland Nurs-
ery is conducted by a corporation under
the well-known name of P. J. Berck-
mans Co. The entire stock of this cor-
poration is owned or controlled by the
late Mr. Berckmans' sons, X.ouis A.,
Robert C. and Prosper J. A. Berck-
mans, Jr. The company conducts its
nursery business upon lands leased to it
by the late Mr. Berckmans for the en-
tire life of the corporation. Some years
ago the late Mr. Berckmans made a
deed of gift of a portion of the leased
lands to his wife and confirmed this
deed by his will, but neither the deed
nor the will interfered with the lease.
"The Berckmans nursery business
will be conducted as heretofore by the
corporation, and at the expiration of its
charter life the majority stockholders,
consisting of Mr. Berckmans' sons, will
continue in the same business, either as
a corporation or as individuals. Their
father left to them a large tract of
land, which in connection with other
lands controlled and owned by his sons,
will be amply sufl^cient for the conduct
and enlargement of the business hereto-
fore conducted."

BOCHESTEB.
The Market.
The retailers report that business dur-
ing the early part of last week was
brisk and satisfactory but a change in
the weather came on Thursday, and on
Friday morning Eochester woke up to
find four inches of snow on the ground,
and a temperature of 26 degrees. At
3 o'clock the mercury reached the high-
est point for the day, 36 degrees. The
unsettled weather in the latter part of
the week had a somewhat depressing
effect on sales. Saturday business was
fair, but hardly up to the usual volume.
Carnations are plentiful, and choice
stock is retailing at 50 cents a dozen.
Killarney roses are quoted at 75 cents.
Violets bring from 25 cents to 50 cents
a bunch. Hyacinths, tulips and daffo-
dils bring 25 cents and upward.
Various Notes.
George B. Hart is receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends on the arrival
of a daughter at his home on Sunday,
March 19.
E. C. Campbell's new retail store, at
17 North street, will be opened for busi-
ness in a few days. This will be one of
the best equipped fldrists' stores in the
city. As a downtown point for distrib-
uting flowers and plants of Mr, Camp-
bell's own growing, it should be a suc-
cess from the start. E. F. E.
CLEVELAND.
The Market.
Easter plants are already making
their appearance in the Cleveland stores
and show up well. Inquiries for Easter
plants and flowers are coming in early
and a large number of orders are al-
ready booked.
Cut flowers are plentiful, except good
Beauties and Eichmonds. The Killarney
and My Maryland coming in are excep-
tionally fine. Violets are not so good
as a few weeks ago, but there still is
some call for them. Valley is plentiful
and in good demand.
Various Notes.
The Jones-Eussell Co. reports several
weddings booked for after Easter. They
had the decorations for the Dell-Meyers
wedding last week.
The Flower Club will hold forth at
the Bismarck, Friday, April 7.
All the florists attending the Boston
flower show returned enthusiastic.

THE BUILDING OF A BUSINESS.
[Concluded from page 42.]
included under this head. Good stock
creates demand, necessitating increase
in output, demanding more labor,
skilled and unskilled, labor-saving ma-
chinery, new materiails, etc. Thus one
may say that the development depends
principally upon the demand, which in
turn is fostered by necessity. The de-
mands of a growing or rapidly devel-
oping business can only be temporarily
satisfied. In like proportion do the
personal demands increase.
Under the head of integrity would
come maintained credit, good will, hon-
est administration, efficient labor, con-
fidence and credit of customers, integ-
rity of purpose.
Locality and Environments.
Locality and environments cover
transportation facilities, nearness of
markets for certain commodities used
extensively, prompt and efficient serv-
ice to customers, labor requirements,
homes, water, soil, manure and coal
supplies.
Natural advantages must be taken
into serious account when building is
contemplated. An unfailing water sup-
ply is absolutely necessary. Suitable
soil, plenty of it for years to come,
must be provided for. Coal must be
easy to obtain at fair prices. The mar-
kets for the sale of goods must be
close at hand. Kapid transportation is
desirable at all times, not only for the
distributing of stock and to facilitate
purchasing, but it is a material aid in
providing necessary help. All these
various matters require carefm work-
ing out, and each is an essential cog
in the wheel which makes for the suc-
cessful development of the business.
An up-to-date rose growing estab-
lishment includes these individuals in
its make-up: Eose growers, steam fit-
ters, painters, teamsters, blacksmiths,
firemen, bookkeepers, stenographers,
temperature men, engineers, carpenters,
glaziers, packers, salesmen, laborers,
and what not — and the money to pay
for their combined efforts must come
from the product, the rose.
POCAHONTAS
If you grow any crimson carnations, then why not grow a variety that
will give you quality equal to the best varieties in the other colors? POCAnONTAS
will do this, and you will also find it productive enough to be highly profitable.

TORONTO.
The Market.
Everything points to a bumper trade
at Easter, although some growers are of
the opinion that stocl^^ill be a little
scarce. There will be few fancy pots of
stock sold this year. The growers are
not going in much for that. Lilies may
be short in supply. A number of the
growers will not have th^m in time.
The retail trade is dull. Design work,
however, keeps us out of mischief.
Various Notes.
A. E. Moore, the wholesale florist, has
purchased the plant of the Georgetown
Floral Co., Georgetown, Ont., and also
that of Mclntyre & Trimbie, on Mar-
jorie avenue, in this city. He has
formed a stock company known as the
A. E. Moore Floral Co., Ltd., and com-
posed of himself, Samuel Kirk, Wm.
Trimbie and Jas. Mclntyre. This will
be a close corporation and no stock will
be sold. This move on Mr. Moore's
part was necessitated by the scarcity of
stock. Often he was unable to meet the
demand and flnally decided to grow his
own stock. His plant at Georgetown
consists of six houses 17x250 feet and
the one in Toronto of four houses
20x150 feet. These latter will be torn
down and moved to Georgetown.
E. A. F.
Adams, Mass. — A. J. Boothman, on
North Summer street, recently com-
pleted a new greenhouse. The stock in
the new house was badly injured by a
cold snap which arrived before the heat-
ing system was in full operation.
Woodstock, Vt. — Douglas Eccleston,
who recently took charge of the green-
houses on the estate of F. S. Macken-
zie, has had much practical experience,
especially in orchid growing, both in
England and America. For a time he
was orchid grower and hybridizer for
Sander & Sons, St. Albans, England.
Since coming to this country he has
been for two and a half years orchid
grower and assistant gardener for Mor-
ton F. Plant, of New London, Conn. In
his present position Mr. Mackenzie has
charge of one of the best private or-
chid collections in New England.
Carnations
"Wlifte House, the high class white.
Princess Charming, the perfect pink.
We are still in a position to supply good stock of these varieties
at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 ^er 1000.
ROSES
Lady Hillingdon. Still a few to sell at $7.50 per dozen; $60.00
per 100, of this popular yellow variety.
All Standard varieties, either grafted or own root.
Chrysanthemums
Novelties and Standard varieties. If you are in need of any

Carnation Norwood
This variety has beien grown by us for four years and has proven to be the
best White Carnation we have ever grown.
NORWOOD is a Pure White, of good form, about 3ji inches in diameter,
exceedingly fragrant, never known to split, and a free and continuous bloomer.
The most profitable Carnation we have ever grown. An ideal commercial
variety. Rooted cuttings (immediate delivery), $10.00 per 100;
$76.00 per 1000.
It will pay every Carnation Grower to plant this variety-
there' s money in it.

ThcWcckly Florists' Review*
AtBiL 6, 1911.
PITTSBURG.
The Market.
The weather last week was about as
bad as the meanest person could wish.
Stock shortened up considerably, but
trade held up wonderfully well in the
face of wind, rain and snow. This week
is not showing any improvement in the
weather to date.
Various Notes.
Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park,
is busy getting the Easter show in
shape and all indications are it will be
"the finest ever." The cold weather
^as enabled them to hold their stock in
just the shape they wanted.
Those who attended the big flower
bhow are home, to continue to pour into
our ears the stories of all the good
things we missed — those sweet peas,
roses, fine plants, and everything that
was better than they ever saw before.
The telephone has just brought report
of the death of William Clory, Coshoc-
ton, O., b>ir no particulars.
Albert Pochelon, of the L. Bemb
Floral Co., and Eobt. M. Eahaley, of
the Michigan Cut Flower Co., Detroit,
Mich., were visitors, stopping on their
wav from Boston. Hoo-Hoo.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
The Market.
Business remains about the same.
Flowers are quite plentiful. Carnations
retail at 60 cents and 75 cents per
dozoii. roses at $1.50 and $2 per dozen,
violets at $1 per hundred blooms, sweet
])eas at $1 per hundred blooms, snap-
dragons at 75 cents per dozen, callas at
$2 per dozen and lilies at $2.50 per
dozen. Bulb stock is good. Tulips,
daffodils and Paper Whites retail at
50 cents per dozen and double Murillos
at 75 cents per dozen. Plant trade
remains satisfactory.
Stock for Easter is looking well;
there will be some nice lilies here. The
street faker was with us again last
Saturday, selling at low prices. The
last week was quite cold for this time
of the year.
Various Notes.
Quite a few florists from this vicinity
attended the National Flower Show in
Boston. Among them were E. H. Cham-
berlain, Julius Rusitzky, Harry Kranz-
ler, George N. Borden, Edward Enos,
Wm. S. Brown, Joe Peirce, Wm. H.

Put Down These Facts
About ''Dorothy Gordon"
"Dorothy Gordon" is a carnation of tried and
known 'worth. First of all, we grew it ourselves for
two years, to determine beyond question that it waa as
good as we thought— and we found that it lived up to
every one of its promises.
Then, two years ago, we began selling rooted cuttings
to other growers, all the way from Maine to Illinois. We
have kept them followed up, and find that, in the ma-
jority of cases, "Dorothy Gordon" has succeeded in a
big way— that it is making more flowers, and better
flow^ers, and more money, than any other carnation
they could grow.
"Dorothy Gordon" is particularly sturdy and vigor-
ous— it is a needling of Lawson on Enchantress with the
strong constitution of both. Color, light flesh-pink; the
flowers average tlircc inclics or more in diameter and arc
of extra good substance and form. It is, in short, an
exceptionally fine carnation and brings correspondingly
high prices— 25 to 50% more than "Enchantress,"
which we grew for years.
Get in line for a good fall business; start some "Dor-
othy Gordon" in your liouses now^. We ofl'er strong
rooted cuttings at

DETROIT.
The Market.
Business last week was up to the
standard. Stock is quite plentiful and
of finest quality. Everyone is antici-
gating a big Easter business and is
usy preparing.
Club Meeting and Exhibit.
The Detroit Florists' Club held its
annual spring trade exhibit at the
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange Mon-
day evening, April 3. Much interest is
taken by the trade in these seasonable
exhibits, as will be seen by the list of
exhibits given farther on. I have given
only a partial list of the exhibits, select-
ing such as merit special mention.
Boosting Mothers' day was advo-
cated. A committee was appointed to
wait upon the superintendent of schools
and urge children to wear all colors of
carnations.
The meeting was unusually well at-
tended. Much favorable comment was
heard about the National Flower Show
and a complete report will be heard at
the next meeting.
The principal exhibits were as fol-
lows:
Fred Miesel, sweet peas, hydrangeas
and primroses.
Louis Bush, hyacinths, tulips and
spiraeas.
John Dinser, hyacinths and lilies.
Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb Floral
Co., Aaron Ward, Irish Melody and
Double Pink Killarney.
Charles Plumb, lilac, ramblers, genis-
tras, spiraeas, azaleas, Killarney, White
Killarney, Bride and Bridesmaid.
J. K. Stock, schizanthus, commonly
called the poor man's orchid.
Ed Beard, of Beard Bros., azaleas,
rhododendrons, mountain laurel, lilies
and hydrangeas.
Thomas Browne, vase of seedlings.
Pink Delight, Winona, Beacon, White
Enchantress, dark pink sport of En-
chantress.
M. Bloy, carnations. Bride roses,
spiraeas and lilies.

Pink
Boston Market
PENNSYLVANIA
A seedling of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for tbe past five years
and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel confident it is one of the b«st
commercial varieties and have pleasure in oflerinK it for the first time for spring delivery 1911.
Tbecolor is a shade lighter pink than Lawson; fonn high built, much like Boston Market ; stem
long and graceful; healthy growt-r; blooms freely from November all through the season.
This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker — a pink Boston Market — only much
larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties.
Come and see it growing. I guarantee same to be iQ perfect health. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
Apbil 6, 1911.
DENVER.
The Market.
There has been little going on in the
last two weeks. The only considerable
outlet seems to be funeral work, and
if it were not for that, business would
be poor, indeed. At the funeral of the
late D. H. Moffat, the man for whom
the Moffat road was named, there were
quantities of flowers, and everything of
good quality on the market found ready
sale. Easter lilies and long-stemmed
American Beauties seemed to be favor-
ites, but a great many tea roses and
violets were also used. This funeral
work was done mostly by the larger
concerns, and it gave them an oppor-
tunity to dispose of a qviantity of
stock that might otherwise have been
a loss.
Nearly every ice-box in every flower
store is filled to the overflowing point.
This is especially true with reference
to those who have contracts with grow-
ers, and who take the cut from a cer-
tain number of plants each day
throughout the season. The bright,
warm weather is rapidly bringing out
the carnations and roses, and if it
keeps up for another week it will inter
fere seriously with the crop for Easter.
Weather conditions will absolutely con-
trol the violet supply for Easter. The
indications are that there will be plenty,
but should the weather suddenly make
up its mind to continue warm and
windy, all the violets will be burned np.
At last we are rid of the California
violet peddlers — this time, we hope, for
good. Their violets began to arrive in
poor condition, and the loss was more
than they could stand. It is a notice-
able fact that as soon as they leave us,
the violet business improves, but im-
mediately after their return it drops,
drops, almost out of sight.
There will be but little advance in
the price of cut flowers for Easter. The
retailers will be glad to hear this.
Various Notes.
The Cut Eate Flower Store, at 24G
Broadway, had its opening April 1. A
fern or other plant was presented to
each caller.
W. C. Walter has recently added a
few more greenhouses to his property
at Fourth and Josephine streets. He
has taken the building at Fifteenth
and Cheyenne streets, has made the
necessary changes and repairs and will
open it in the near future as a regular
flower store.
The Park Floral Co. was favored
ivith more than half of the work for
the D. H. Moffat funeral. The other
half was shared by three or four of
the other concerns.
The friends of J
awaiting his return
congratulate him on his recent election
to the presidency of the American Car-
nation Society. They are all proud of
Mr. Valentine, and feel that they have
been highly honored in having one
from their city selected to fill this high
office.
Charles Stone, of Pueblo, Colo., was
in the city the latter part of March.
He was looking for a saleslady or a
new store, wTiich he
open April 1. Other
A. Valentine are
from the east, to
salesman for his
was planning to
visitors were Mr. and Mrs. S. Knudsen,
of Boulder, Colo.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*
Apbil 6, 1911.
BUFFALO.
The Market.
The cold weather has continued for
several days and undoubtedly has been
a big drawback to spring business. On
the other hand, Easter stock can be
timed and handled much more easily
and without the large percentage of
loss in stock that takes place when
continued warm weather precedes a late
Easter. Lilies will probably be plen-
tiful in the shorter grades, with the
longer ones bringing about 15 cents.
Hydrangeas will also be plentiful.
Other seasonable stock is rounding into
shape nicely and if the weather is
pleasant, it should be a good year.
Business has been rather even dur-
ing Lent and the increased stock has
kept the windows crowded full of beau-
tiful stock. A window of Hhododen-
dron Fink Pearl caused much com-
ment last week. It certainly is the
most beautiful of the varieties which
are forced for Easter and the delicate
pink shades are perfect. Carnations
have been overplentiful the last two
weeks and have sold cheap at times.
Sweet peas sell well and take the place*
of violets, which are not' of such good
quality. Bulb stock has been none too
plentiful for the last week and has
brought a good price.
Miss Keitsch Attacked.
Charged with shooting Elizabeth
Keitsch, daughter of Henry Keitsch, of
H. Keitsch & Sons Co., after a violent
struggle while attempting robbery in
her father's store at 810 Main street,
August Seckendorf, 30 years old, a dis-
charged driver for William F. Kasting,
was locked up at police headquarters
April 2. He is charged with assault
and grand larceny.
According to the police, Miss Keitsch
narrowly escaped death at the hands of
Seckendorf. Only by a fierce struggle,
during which she was dragged down-
stairs into the basement, did she suc-
ceed in wrenching down her assailant's
revolver so that the shot, which took off
her right thumb at the joint, struck one
of her corset steels and was deflected
from entering her heart. Seckendorf
got away with $6, but his spell of liberty
was brief.
Various Notes.
Jacob Wiese has taken a trip east to
purchase his fancy Easter stock. This
is an annual trip and he usually brings
back some money-making stock.
S. A. Anderson and W. F. Kasting
were in attendance at the National
Flower Show at Boston,
Charles Edgar has been on. the sick
list during the last week.

■^*The old reliable firm, GODFREY ASCHNANN, is not connected w^ith any other firm and is more active than ever
Unexpected business prevented us from exhibiting our stock at the Boston Flower Show, March 25, but we
kindly ask all of our many customers of the past, and now, if possible to come direct to our establishment, the
Great Factory of Live Stock, a Plant Producing Mill that Never Closes, and make a personal inspection of our
"stock. The Germantown, Chestnut Hill, or Willow Grove trolley, at 13th and 8th and Market, will take you to
West Ontario street and from there walk two squares east.
Prepare for Easter
Keep cool! Don't worry! Don't be downhearted! Cheer up! Your old, reliable friend of Philadelphia,
Godfrey Aschmann, thinks of you, takes care of you and provides for you in hard times, in war times, in all
times. His big stock and his cheap prices of Easter stock will certainly pull you through Easter, 1911,
If you would know the fairest sight your eyes
can eTer see,
Where the most perfect plants are grown, to
Ascbmann'g come with me.
Why! Ne'er since flowers began to bloom was
such a glorious show
()f all the best that florists need found in one
place to grow.
The lutes are the very best yet seen on Easter
day.
Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect In
every way.
The Araucarlas matchless are, so are the ferns
all green.
With bulbs, and plumed Spiraea, the best you've
ever seen.
And Aschmann gives a challenge, let every florist
hear.
For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear.
If you wish to gather dollars like violets in
the spring.
Then send your largest order, his plants the cash
will bring.
Our reputation in growing Easter plants for
the wholesale market, to which we ship all over
the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many
years past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our
■bility.
No joke— we have this year an immense
stock of Lilies— Lilies to burn, to
beat the band. Order now
Easter Lilies, Lllium multlflorum, the genuine
Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us.
We have a friend in Japan who looks after our
Interests there. He picks out for us only the
good, healthy ones, and marks them while they
are growing, the lOin. bulbs, and therefore he
ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.
We have lilies this year to burn; can supply, If
nothing happens, every customer and others
who want lilies. If you see them growing in our
greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where
other florists get 15c per bud, we only charge
you lOo per bud, for plants In 6-in. pots, having
n, R, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plants
undcT 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-in. pots; in all
heights, green as grass, good foliage from Iwttom
up. Owing to lilies getting dearer every year,
tully 30 per cent of them have to be dumped
(we only keep the healthy ones for our cus-
tomers and others), illy growing is not profitable
and, as we sell our lilies cheap, it would be
very much appreciated if some other plants would
be included in the order.
liraea Gladstone for Easter
What is a Home? What is a Store? What is
a Church? What is an Easter present without
having a few plants of the so much admired and
80 greatly in demand Spiraea Gladstone? Oh,
those charming sprays of beautiful pure white
flowers! And the foliage, too, with its waxy,
deep green color is a Jewel in itself. Mixed with
beautiful lilies and other blooming plants it will
complete the flower cTecoratlons for your happy.
Joyful Easter of 1911. Knowing the great de-
mand for this plant the past Easters, when not
half our customers could be supplied, we are
well prepared this year for the rush and in
spite of the scarcity last fall in Holland when
other florists' supplies were cut short by Holland
growers, we were fortunate in obtaining enough
of the bulbs to fill two houses and we are able
to supply ail incoming orders promptly; 514, 6
to 7-in. pots, full of buds and flowers, and some
iire as big as a wash tub. 35c. 50c, 75c and

LOUISVILLE, KY.
The Market.
Business for the last fortnight has
been good. Lent seems to have no
effect on it. Stock of all kinds is in
good supply and the quality also is good.
Potted stock is having a good, steady
call and some choice plants are to be
had. The supply of bulbous stock has
been a little short, as a good many
growers have been trying to hold their
stock until Easter, but at present the
prospects are slim, and it is a risky
thing to hold stock of this nature in
this locality when Easter falls at so late
a date. The warm weather which we
may expect certainly plays havoc with
it. There are a good many other plants
that are far more satisfactory for this
day and a few growers here are begin-
ning to realize it and are drawing away
from the Dutch bulbs. Some good
azaleas, rhododendrons, lilac, astilbes,
daisies, genistas and a few other flow-
ering plants are to be seen and will be
on time for the occasion. A big short-
age in lilies will be felt here.
In the way of cut flowers we are well
supplied, but most of the roses and car-
nations handled here at Easter are
shipped in from Chicago and other large
markets, as the cut here amounts to
little at such a time when compared
with the demand. Some sweet peas are
coming in and are selling well. Valley
and orchids are the one best bet for
corsage bouquets, as violets are a thing
of the past here. Among other things
that are hard to get hold of are good
Beauties, which are as scarce as hens'
teeth. Other roses and carnations are in
good supply. Some few snapdragons
and a few other spring flowers are com-
ing in and are selling well. Greens of
all kinds have been hard to get at any
price.
Various Notes.
The various department stores and
millinery shops are having their annual
spring openings and some decorations
are required. Everybody seems to be
getting a share of the work.
The following local florists have re-
turned from the National Flower Show:
William Walker and his son, Lee, and
Geo. E. and Jacob Schulz. All are well
pleased with the time spent at the show
and are saying nothing but words of
praise for the Boston boys and the way
they did things.
The Kentucky Society of Florists ac-
cepted the invitation extended by Will-
iam Walker to meet at his residence.

Greenhouse Heating.
A BtJJtNER FOE CRUDE OIL.
I noticed that K. L. K., writing in
The Eeview of March 2, inquired as to
where he could obtain a good burner for
crude oil, to be used in heating his
greenhouses. If he will correspond with
J. W. Pippin, of this town, Brownwood,
Tex., I think he will find that Mr. Pip-
pin can furnish a burner that will an-
swer the purpose. A. M. Davis.
ONE HOUSE AND LEAN-TO.
We put up a small house, 20x40, last
fall and put in a hot water heater, with
sufficient capacity to heat 1,000 square
feet of glass, but we have not had
enough heat, on account of wrong in-
stallation. At present there are three
IVi'-inch coils running along each side
wall, under the benches, and fed from
2-iuch mains. We desire to extend the
present house thirty feet, making it
seventy feet long and eight feet to the
ridge, and wish to maintain a tempera-
ture of 45 degrees in this Idaho climate^
where the outside temperature some-
times drops several degrees below zerb.
We are now growing vegetables only,
but wish to grow a few carnations and
violets. If our boiler will care for it,
we wish also to add an 8-foot lean-to
along the east side. We wish to devote
one end of this to violets, and should
like to get some hints as to heating the
violet part and also as to the best plan
to follow for the entire plant. The
boiler is to be in a pit at the north end,
in a boiler shed. M. N. A.
When a house is seventy feet long, it,
is advisable to use 2-inch pipes as re-

STEAM TRAPS
RETURN — NGN -RETURN — VACUUM -CONDENSER
OU, Mr. Florist, can save fuel — cut down labor
— and grow better flowers by installing a
Morehead Return Steam Trap.
In the first place there is only a few degrees
difference between tne steam going into your heat-
ing system and the water of condensation coming
from the returns.
It is very foolish, therefore, to cool this water
down to a low temperature to pump jsaek to the
boilers when, by the use of the Morehead Steam
Trap, the same water of condensation can be re-
turned directly to the boilers at a very much less
expense than by any other method and without los-
ing any of the heat contained in the condensation.
In the first place, to make steam from water, fuel
is required to bring this water to the boiling point
under the required steam pressure.
For every ten degrees added to the water by any
other means, there is a saving of 1% on fuel.
You can readily see that the cooling of the con-
densation from 250 degrees down to 212 or less, to
accommodate your pump, means a considerable loss
of heat, fuel and money.
MOREHEAD Return Steam Trap will put this
water back into your boiler at a still higher
temperature than 250 degrees, and on 90%
less steam required by a pump for returning the
same quantity of water.
You then have a combined return trap and boiler
feed outfit that will prove out to be one of the best
investments you ever made.
The temperature in your houses is always kept
absolutely uniform, enabling you to grow better
flowers by reason of the improved conditions.
The Morehead Trap, when once installed, requires
little or no attention, thus enabling you to dispense
with extra help necessary to keep your heating sys-
tem in good order.
If you are having condensation difficulties, or if
you want to know about a better and more econom-
ical method of draining your particular steam lines,
feeding your boilers and save on fuel, water and
labor, write us for copy of "Trap Book," and our
trial offer proposition.
The ' ' Trap Book ' ' tells how condensation troubles
can be ended effectively, and considering results,
most economically. It will give you some new
ideas regarding steam and its distribution in the
greenhouse.

turns. To maintain a temperature for
carnations, when the temperature drops
several degrees below zero, there should
be two 2i^'-inch flow pipes and eight 2-
inch returns. If it is desired to use the
1%-inch return pipes, they can be used
for three l^^-inch returns, and, with
two S%-inch flows and five 2-inch re-
turns, will give the desired radiating
surface. For the lean-to use one 2-inch
flow and three l^^-inch returns.
The total amount of radiation for the
proposed house, including the lean-to, is
less than 825 square feet, and a boiler
rated for 1,000 square feet should there-
fore furnish a fair margin.
OIL STOVE FOB BOTTOM HEAT.
I need some bottom heat only for
kentia seeds, so that I require only a
small fire apparatus. I wish to know
whether it would do to put a Perfection
smokeless oil stove beneath the bench.
Although these stoves are widely adver-
tised as smokeless they spread some-
what the odor of oil and I should like to
know whether this odor would be in-
jurious to the seeds. If you know of
any other small heating device, I should
like to be informed about it. A. J. V.
The Perfection oil heater does excel-
lent work, and would probably do no
harm if the wick can be cleaned every
day, if the behavior of the heater is
carefully watched and if it is cleaned
once a day. Nearly all of the com
panies manufacturing greenhouse boil-
ers make small sizes, but as no state-
ment is made of the size of the house,
no details can be given.

phia, make the following statement
with regard to the present status of the
coal market:
"The summer schedule of prices on
anthracite coal went into effect April
1 and is the same as was in effect last
year, with the exception of the chestnut
coal price, which has been advanced 25
cents per ton. The customary advance
of 10 cents per ton will be made on all
domestic sizes monthly, beginning with
May.
"The prices for steam sizes, buck-
wheat, rice and barley, are strong,
owing to the fact that the demand for
the domestic sizes has not been strong,
and there has been a restriction of out-
put. In addition to that, however, each
year sees an advance in the price of
steam sizes of anthracite coal, as the
supply is not sufficient for the demand.
Prices in all sizes of steam coals will be
at an advance over last year. There
will probably be some of the lower

Srades remain about the same in prices
and will continue to. The levy grades
are procurable at exceedingly low
prices. The iron business, however,
seems to be improving, and that will
eventually strengthen prices on bitu-
niinous coals all around. There is con-
siderable restriction of output on bitu-
Jiiinous coal, the operator preferring to
Koep his coal in the ground rather than
<li^<pose of it at low prices."
HEATING WITH EXHAUST STEAM.
We note that C. F. C, in The Eeview
of March 16, asks for information in
■"egard to the use of exhaust steam for
Srt'enhouse heating, and we wish to say
thnt we have made plans and furnished
;•'"' necessary vacuum features for the
'n^^talling of heating systems in green-
'jp'ises, using exhaust steam at quite a
fli^ance from the houses.

In 1905 the Chamberlain & Bunker

from a flour mill 310 feet away. They
carried this steam pipe overhead on
posts and placed the return pipe under-
ground. They have since added some to
these original houses. They have also
connected exhaust steam into this main

station about 150 feet farther away;
this steam they use during the night

it is not necessary to carry a pressure
to exceed one pound, and usually a pres- ^
sure with the atmosphere or zero is
sufficient. It does not work back on
the engine, so as to consume any addi-
tional power, as would be the case with
the ordina-ry system, which would re-
quire from five to eight pounds of pres
sure to create a circulation.
This system was also installed in
1906 in twenty-two houses, 285 feet
long for the Dunbar & Hopkins Co.,
Ashtabula, O. There are over eleven
miles of 1 14 -inch pipe in the heating
system of this range. In 1909 the same
firm installed this same system in a new
range containing fully as much radia-
tion, and either of these ranges can be
heated with atmospheric pressure in the
steam lines during average winter
weather. With such a vacuum system
it is possible to convey steam long dis
tances. Instead of forcing the steam
this distance and through all of the cir-
culation and piping, the vacuum on the
return pipe really draws the steam to
every part of the system without any
power or pressure at the head end of
the system.

ST. LOUIS.
[Concluded from page 61.1
Anton Bros., of Clayton, Mo., are
sending to the Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. some extra fine carnations, nearly
all of the Enchantress variety.
C. A. Kuehn had heavy consignments
of carnations from his growers last
week. There was a great glut of them
all the week and, of course, the best
quality sold first, with prices rather low.
Sweet peas, tulips and lilies were also
too plentiful for the demand.
Eobert J. "Windier, the South Grand
avenue florist, announced his engage-
ment recently to Miss Amy Zender, the
handsome and accomplished daughter of
Adam Zender, a well known florist of
Chicago. The wedding is to take place
sometime in June, in Chicago.
The Standard Scale & Fixture Co., the
local agent for the MeCray refrigerators
for florists' use, is making a pretty dis-
play of boxes in its store under the
Coliseum on Washington avenue. The
firm says a number of orders have been
received for florists' boxes for early
summer delivery.
Some of our Kirkwood growers say
that considerable building will be done
during the coming summer. They have
all had successful seasons with violets,
carnations and sweet peas.
The Florists' Club holds its next
monthly meeting Thursday afternoon,
April 13, in Odd Fellows' hall. Presi-
dent Connon is looking forward to a
large attendance, as some important
business is to come before this meeting.

The Market.
Much effort has been put forth to
make the Easter flower displays attrac-
tive. As Easter comes late this year, it
is not an easy task to hold back the de-
sired quantity of azaleas, lilies and
bulbous stock. The flower stores, in
their Easter attire, present a beautiful
appearance.
Various Notes.
The large greenhouse plant of the
Baur Floral Co. is nearing completion.
The oflSce is well under way, while the
concrete benching is progressing rapidly.
Miss Hazel Offerle recently enter-
tained a number of friends at a well-
appointed luncheon. The favors were
small baskets of violets and lily of the
valley. The home was tastefully deco-
rated with palms.
Miss Lenore Niemeyer entertained at
her home a number of friends March
29. Music and cards was the order of
the evening. The floral decorations
were elaborate.
Among the recent visitors in Erie
were J. Dilloff, representing Schloss
Bros., New York, and R. H. Carey, of
Zanesville, O.
James Lougry, formerly with W. J.
Palmer & Son, Buffalo, has taken a
position in J. V. Laver's store, in this
city. B. P.
Beading, Pa. — The greenhouse of
John Spayd, in Frush Valley, has been
purchased by John Keller. Mr. Keller
has removed the greenhouse to the lot
at the rear of his home and will use it
in growing vegetables for the trade.
Attica, Ind. — Owing to failing health,
Jasper Cheak has sold his greenhouses
to W. S. Kircher, of Rochester, Ind., but
will remain in charge of the business
till August 1, as Mr. Kircher 's lease at
Rochester does not expire till that date.
When Mr. Kircher takes possession here
in August, he will proceed to add two
new houses, one especially for roses,
and will otherwise improve the prop-
erty. Mr. Cheak established the busi-
ness here about four years ago and has
been successful from the beginning.

The Market.
Eoses are plentiful and the prices are
more reasonable. Carnations also are
abundant, with prices low. Violets will
soon be gone. Bulbous stock is coming
on too fast. The weather is so warm
that it is causing a heavy loss to some
of the florists here. It will cut the sup-
ply short on hyacinths for Easter, as
they cannot be held back. We look for
a heavy spring trade, as orders are com-
ing in fast for bedding plants and porch
boxes at this early date. In shrubbery
there is an immense demand. Every-
body is busy filling orders.
A Visit to E. G. Bunyar's.
We found Mr. Bunyar busy packing
plants. His stock is looking fine this
year. He had 30,000 moonvines in 2-
inch pots before the shipping season
opened, but his supply will soon be at
an end, at the rate they are going. His
Lady Bountiful carnations in solid
benches are among the finest in this
part of the country. Large beds of
pansies are grown for winter cut flow-
ers and are in full bloom now. Mr.
Bunyar is quite successful with the
California violets. He prefers to grow
this variety, so he can have sweet peas
in the same house and in the same bed.
but in hills and far enough apart to
admit light to the violets. When the
violets are gone in the spring, the sweet
peas are in crop, so the house is always
occupied. His sweet peas are fine, with
long stems and large flowers, and he
gets the top price for all he is growing.
Large quantities of smilax are grown
here and Mr. Bunyar gets 15 cents a
string and grows four strings on each
hill in one year. They are planted eight
inches apart each way.
Mr. Bunyar expects to add three
houses during the coming summer, one
for cuttings and two for violets. The
violets are to be grown for Valentine's
day, and then geraniums will take their
place. Large quantities of stevia are
to be planted next fall, as the demand
is fast increasing for this flower and
there is never enough to go around.

Various Notes.
A. Arnold has four good houses well
filled with bedding plants, mostly
geraniums in 3-inch pots. Two-year-old
roses in pots are grown in fine shape
and such stock should find a ready sale,
as no other florist seems to grow them
here. Mr. Arnold sells all his output in
the city market. He runs two wagons
in the spring season. No cut flowers
are grown, except calla lilies, which are
extra large. They are grown on raised
benches. Mr. Arnold has been ill for
the last five weeks.
Judging by the lumber and green-
house material that are piled up in large
stacks, R. S. Brown & Son are going to
build more greenhouses this summer at
the Independence range.
Miss Jennie Murray had a nice show
window of blooming plants last week.
D. Freudenthal, who usually believes
in maintaining good prices on cut flow-
ers, last Saturday decided that he would
not be outdone by his neighbors, so he
stocked up heavily on carnations and
2 cents was the cry.
The Flower Shop, formerly at
Eleventh and Main streets, has opened
a large store between the walls of the
burned Ridge building. They are mak-
ing quite a large display on the out-
side. This location is near two of the
best banks and on a busy street, so
there is no reason why this ought not
to be a first-class stand.
We notice that the Alpha Floral Co. 's
show window shows some new and ef-
fective artistic touches, since the new
decorator has taken things in hand.
The Rock Flower Co. 's show window
is always good to look at, as good taste
is displayed here in decorating.
Samuel Murray never stands back for
any of his competitors. His window is
always full of rich stock, well arranged.

SHADING FOR GREENHOUSES.
What would be a good substitute for
lime shading on greenhouses? Owing
to the destructive nature of lime,
•which eats and destroys paint and
putty, causing leaks and decay and also
making it difficult to repaint while the
shade is on, I have decided to discon-
tinue its use. Here seems to be an
opening for some enterprising chemist
to invent ani put on the market some
canned and prepared shade. A. A.
Lime is now little used as a shading
material on greenhouses, for the rea-
sons you have stated. A far better
material is naphtha or kerosene and
ordinary white lead. Keep it well
stirred; apply either with a brush, or
with a force pump if the houses are
large. You can make it thin or thick,
according to the season and the vari-
eties of plants to be shaded. This
shading is more adhesive than' lime
wash and is 'beneficial rather than in-
jurious to the woodwork and putty.
For a still lighter sliade, kerosene and
ordinary whiting can be used. Any of
these shades can be easily removed
when desired, by merely damping them
and rubbing with a brush. The early
frosts assist in loosening it. Be care-
ful not to use linseed oil in your white
lead, or you will have serious difficulty
in removing it from the glass.
There may be some special canned
preparations on the market, but you
can easily mix your own shading and
economize quite "^a little by doing so.
C. W.
PERPETUAL FLOWERING FREESIA.
I have a freesia on my place that has
carmine or orange flowers and it has
bloomed several times this winter.
Every flower is the same. Is there any
such bulb on the market, or is it a
freak? F. T.
I do not know of any freesia which
flowers several times during the winter.
F. refracta alba and F. Leichtlinii
throw a single spike, and if yours
throws several it is certainly a distinct
break and one well worthy of perpetua-
tion. You cannot purchase bulbs of any
such variety. ^- ^^

No matter what kind of house you build you have to spend the same money for the sides, the
glass, the putty, the ventilating sash and apparatus, and the benches. If you buy flrst-class materials
for these the only difference in cost between it and oiu' Iron Frame House is on the frame itself. That
means that any money you save in putting up a cheaper house than our Iron Frame one is only cheaper
because of its poorer frame. It is a ciieapening of the most vital part of your house— the sup-
portinB part. Can you, tlien, afford to mal^e that kind of a temporary saving on a temporary
frame, as against a permanent frame as a permanent Investment? Of course you can't. If
you will give us a cliance wu can sliow you some surprising figures on comparative cost of houses.
They will certainly open your eyes.

BRAMPTON, ONT.
The Gardeners' Chronicle, published
in London, England, recently printed a
lengthy account of a visit to the Dale
estate, from which the following notes
are culled:
"From the Dale greenhouses go out
the roses and carnations which supply
the whole Dominion, or at all events
reach to the uttermost parts of it. Con-
signments of these and other flowers are
sent regularly as far as Newfoundland
on the one side and Vancouver on the
other. In times of glut the flowers of
the Dale nurseries invade New York it-
self, though for tariff and other reasons
that market is not favored at other
times. The distribution of cut flowers
over such great distances has compelled
the adoption of the most careful meth-
ods for preparing the flowers for trans-
port. The method found most successful
is to bring the carnations, roses, etc.,
into a cool room and to keep them for
one to two days in a temperature of
about 52 degrees or as much below 60
degrees as can be managed conveniently.
"Though carnations and roses loom
largest in the • Dale nurseries, other
plants are grown on an extensive scale,
and a considerable trade is done in the
distribution of plants (Ampelopsis Veit-
chii, which is hardy in that part of
Canada) and cuttings of carnations,
which are sent out in thin paper 'pots,'
five per pot, as far afield as the Eock-
ies. Adiantum is grown largely and
also lily of the valley. Orchids, which

in this department is under the charge

was started eight years ago by a Dutch-
man, who was originally engaged to
grow lily of the valley on a commercial
scale. The orchids grown include Cat-
tleya Mendellii, Lselia purpurata and L.

The Market.
The situation last week was depress-
ing, there being little demand for any-
thing in the way of flowers, and as a
result stock piled up and prices ruled
low. The supply of carnations seems to
have had no limit, though conditions at
the time of writing seem to have some-
what improved. The quality has been
exceptionally fine, but buyers were un-
usually discriminating. Cheap and com-
mon stock was entirely neglected and
cleaning up sales were made in many
instances at extremely low prices.
Easter lilies are beginning to be seen
on all counters in liberal quantities.
The indications are that the supply will
be large. Callas are also plentiful.
Roses are of exceptionally good quality
and are moving fairly well.
The consignments of southern daffo-
dils are now about at their height and
the receipts are evidently more than can
be handled. Many consignments arrived
in bad condition — in fact, so soft as to
be unsalable. Greens are more plentiful.
The market men are out in force and
the sidewalks look like a flower show.
The class of goods offered indicates an
oversupply of bulbous stock. Q.

THE QUESTION
OF INSURANCE
j^c;i^i::^L
IT'S VITAL FOR GROWERS.
Fire Insurance.
The number of inquiries regarding va-
rious forms of insurance received by the
Review indicate that an article on this
subject will be of interest to the trade.
First, in regard to fire insurance. An
interview with W. A. Blodgett, western
manager of the Springfield F. and M.
Insurance Co., of Springfield, Mass.,
brought out the fact that most of the
leading fire insurance companies now are
glad to write insurance on greenhouse
buildings at their regular rates for this
class of risk. These rates vary accord-
ing to location, construction, fire protec-
tion, location of boiler house, arrange-
ment of heating apparatus, precautions
taken to prevent fire, etc.
Many times a little foresight and plan-
ning in the proper arrangement of a
greenhouse plant will effect a great sav-
ing in the insurance rate at practically
no additional construction expense. For
instance, if the boiler room is built en-
tirely separate from the houses, the rate
will be much lower than it will if the
boiler room is surrounded by the houses.
Again, if the boiler and main flow pipes
are covered with asbestos, the rate will
be lowered, and if concrete, stone or
brick, instead of wood, is used for the
boiler house walls, a further saving in
the insurance rate will be secured.
In fact, before building a greenhouse
it would be well to take up such questions
with the local insurance agent, who could
tell just what should be done to secure
the minimum rate.
Of course, a greenhouse that enjoys
city fire department protection will get a
lower rate than one without that advan-
tage, although the fact that every green-
house is supplied with hose for watering
purposes, and always quickly available in
case of fire, is necessarily a help.
The reason that greenhouse insurance
is comparatively recent is because insur-
ance men for years looked upon green-
houses as poorly constructed from the
fire risk point of view, but since modern
methods and up-to-date materials are be-
ing used, the usual type of present day
greenhouse is a much improved structure
and is able to hold its own as a fire risk
with any other type of building.
Of course, in every class of buildings
growing plants is constantly changing,
and that, therefore, there is no definite
basis on which to fix rates or settle
losses; second, that the crops grown
vary with the seasons and consequently,
even if a reasonable basis could be found
for a certain crop, the following crop
would, in nine cases out of ten, have a
different value.
Taking all the foregoing into consid-
eration, it is evident that florists will
have to be content with insurance against
fire loss on the buildings alone. Of
course, there is no question but that such
insurance is a wise precaution, and any
local agent representing the well known,
reliable fire insurance companies, should
be able to \7rite such a policy at reason-
able rates.
Hail Insurance.
In taking up the matter of hai* insur-
ance, it was found that few of t>~ *^g-
ular glass insurance companies will -^^--are
Establishment of M. M. Miesse Before the Fire of March 29.
there are some individual cases of old,
tumble-down structures, which are abso-
lutely refused insurance by the respon-
sible companies, and naturally the green-
houses are no exception. Therefore, if
insurance is refused, it is well to inquire
for the reason and, if possible, improve
the conditions till all the objections are
overcome.
Mr. Blodgett further stated that, so
far as he knew, none of the reliable com-
panies will accept insurance on stock in
the greenhouses, and he gave the follow-
ing reasons: First, that the value of
greenhouses against loss from breakage
of glass, either from hail or other causes.
Nearly all of them seem to be of the
opinion that the percentage of loss from
such risks is so high that in order to
write such policies with profit the rate
would be away beyond the reach of the
great majority of florists.
This view of the matter would seem
to indicate a surprising lack of investiga-
tion by the glass insurance companies, be-
cause, as is well known to practically
every greenhouse owner, the Florists'
Hail Association of America insures

greenhouse glass at a low rate, and is in
a flourishing condition and pays all losses
promptly.
This association was formed in 1885,
in conjunction with the S. A. F. In fact,
one of the principal objects in organizing
the S. A. F. was the formation of this
Hail Association, as the need of such in-
surance was badly felt. The oflBcers and
directors of the association are all well
known in the trade and the association
now has over 32,500,000 square feet of
glass insured. It is a purely mutual or-
ganization, in which the members place
in the hands of the treasurer one ad-
vanced assessment in order that losses
may be paid promptly. The reserve fund,
which is used only in great emergency,
now amounts to $21,700. The present
membership numbers over 1,600, located
in nearly every state, and several in Can-
ada. The fact that over 1,430 losses,
amounting to more than $165,000, have
been paid during the last twenty-five
years is in itself suflBcient argument in
favor of the wisdom of hail insurance.
In view of the heavy losses in broken
glass, caused by hail in recent years, it
appears evident that every greenhouse
owner in the country would do well to
join the association. John G. Esler, Sad-
dle River, N. J., is the secretary, and full
particulars may be obtained from him.
Storm Insurance.
In endeavoring to obtain storm insur-
ance (the insurance companies call it
is typical of the conditions to be met in
many similar sections of the country. In
the first place it must be remembered
that this plant Avas only recently con-
structed and is modern and up-to-date in
every particular.
This firm found several insurance com-
panies that would write tornado policies
on their risk, covering the entire estab-
lishment, including the glass, at rates
that varied from $2 to $5 per $100 of
insurance, but they considered this
charge excessive and the manner in
which their insurance agent finally ob-
tained the policies at only about half of
the lowest rate mentioned before, was
quite unique. Of course, it is understood
that this rate is applicable only under
similar conditions and is mentioned be-
cause the principle involved might be
tried in any locality. The method of in-
surance follows:
A responsible casualty company was
found that would write a policy against
the breakage of the glass from any
cause; hail, storms, tornadoes, in fact,
any breakage of glass whatsoever, but
not covering any other damage that
might result from the same cause. Then
a tornado insurance company was in-
duced to write a policy covering all the
buildings, etc., but excluding the actual
glass. In other words, this policy cov-
ered the framework of the houses, the
benches, boiler-house, smokestack, and
various other buildings, but under any

tornado insurance), the average green-
house owner is apt to experience consid-
erable diflSculty in getting it at a rate
that he would think at all reasonable.
As is probably well known, this insur-
ance covers loss or damage of any kind
resulting from wind storms, tornadoes,
cyclones, etc., and naturally the rates
vary greatly according to the weather
conditions that prevail in various sec-
tions of the country. For instance, in
Kansas, which is known as one of the
tornado states, the rates would be much
higher than in a territory like that
around Chicago, where disastrous wind
storms are a rare occurrence.
It has been a hard matter, however,
even to get this insurance at a reasonable
rate in Chicago, and the experience of
one of the large greenhouse concerns
near that city may be of interest, as it
and all circumstances excluded damage to
glass. The combination of the two pol-
icies, however, covered everything and
by dividing the responsibility between
the two companies, a rate resulted that
was just about half that asked by either
company if they insured all the points in-
volved.
The principle is to divide the responsi-
bility and reduce the cost, and this might
be done to advantage in any part of the
country, the rates being lower or higher
according to the individual risk and its
location.
Boiler Insurance.
When we come to the question of
boiler insurance, we reach a phase of in-
surance that is entirely different from
any other. In what way? In the fact
that the inspections which are constantly
being made of the insured boilers fre-
quently point out defects in time to avoid
serious accident, and often reveal ineflB-
ciency on the part of employees, whose
ignorance may ruin a valuable plant,
even without causing an explosion. At
first glance the foregoing statement does
not show the full extent of the protection
offered as compared with the payment of
loss resulting from an explosion, so let us
consider further.
A serious boiler explosion is a terrible
thing. It frequently, in fact usually,
means a loss of life, in addition to great
property damage. Anything that can be
done to prevent these disasters is a sa-
cred duty. Just think — since October 1,
1867, there have occurred over 10,000
recorded boiler explosions, causing the
death of more than 12,500 persons, the in-
jury of 16,000 others, and the destruc-
tion of millioi/s of dollars ' worth of prop-
erty. Boiler inspection would have saved
a large proportion of those lives and
much of the damaged property.
Many owners of heating boilers have
the mistaken idea that, because of the
low pressure carried, the boiler is not so
liable to explode as a high pressure
boiler. This is not true, however. A
high pressure power boiler is fully as
strong, in relation to pressure carried, as
the low pressure heating boiler, and
the one is no more subject to ex-
plosion than the other. This fact
is fully shown by the many explo-
sions that occur in low pressure heating
plants. The accompanying illustrations
give some idea of a most disastrous heat-
ing boiler explosion which occurred in
the greenhouses of George M. Kellogg,
Pleasant Hill, Mo. The damage was es-
timated at $75,000. No one was injured,
as the explosion occurred just before the
employees arrived for work in the morn-
ing, but about 50,000 square feet of glass
were destroyed.
This boiler was one of thirteen, and
investigation after the accident showed
that inspection service would most likely
have found the defect in time to prevent
the disaster. This case is only one of
many, and, if space would permit, exam-
ple after example could be given show-
ing conclusively that heating boilers
should be inspected as regularly and thor-
oughly as the power variety.
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection
and Insurance Co., which is the only com-
pany that handles boiler insurance ex-
clusively and is, without doubt, the
strongest and most reliable concern in
the business, makes the following state-
ment : " It is sometimes difficult for a
layman to understand how it is possible
for a steam heating boiler, operated at a
pressure of from five to fifteen pounds
per square inch, to explode. It is more
difficult to understand how a hot water
boiler can explode, when it is not sup-
posed to carry any steam pressure at all.
To those of us who are in the business
of inspecting and insuring boilers of all
types, there is nothing strange about it,
particularly in view of the conditions of
care and management under which these
low pressure boilers are operated."
Here is another case which emphasizes
the facts previously stated. A horizontal
tubular boiler used for heating the gfreen-
houses of Miller & Sons, at Bracondale,
near Toronto, Canada, and operated at a
pressure of from five to ten pounds per
square inch, exploded at 1 : 30 p. m., April
21, 1909. The boiler was completely dis-
rupted, a portion of it weighing about
one ton being thrown a distance of nearly
one-quarter of a mile. The property dam-

age amounted to about $50,000, and not
a cent's worth of insurance was carried.
Even supposing that inspection would not
have prevented the accident, insurance
would have taken away the sting of the
loss.
When considering the advisability of
boiler insurance, remember that the in-
spections are really the most valuable
part, and these points should be borne in
mind: That is cheapest which is best.
This is especially true of boiler insur-
ance. Good mechanics cannot be secured
at less than standard prices, and good
inspections require that a certain amount
of time be consumed in making them. A
few dollars saved in premiums at the
cost of eflSciency in inspections, may mean
thousands wasted in the end. The advice
that a good company is able to furnish
its policy holders is frequently the means
of saving them, in economies, many times
the cost of the service.
The Eeview heartily endorses insur-
ance of all kinds, when taken out in repu-
table companies, and recommends to its
readers the aerious consideration of this
protection wherever and whenever possi-
ble.
CEMENT BENCHES IN ENGLAND.
It may be remembered that when
W. Wells, of W. Wells & Co., Merstham,
England, visited this country last fall,
he was favorably impressed with the
results obtained here by the use of
concrete benches, and one of the fea-
tures of this system of benching that
especially appealed to him was its econ-
omy. Since his return to England he
has given the concrete benches a trial
in some of his own carnation and chry-
santhemum houses, and is highly
pleased with the outcome of the ex-
periment. The Horticultural Adver-
tiser (English) gives the following ac-
count of Mr. Wells' method of con-
structing the benches:
"The benches have all been made
on the nurseries at Merstham by the
handy man, and two entirely different
methods have been tried in the con-
struction. At first, a flat surface was
prepared with floor boards, which was
bordered with boards firmly fixed to
form the edges of the bench. Molds of
the exact size were then made from
floor boards to form a partition, so
that the bench was composed of sec-
tions eighteen inches wide, to enable
one to handle and fix them. The ce-
ment was then leveled in the bottom,
and, to hold the edge inside, a plank
was tacked to the inside of the part-
ing mold, making the bottom surface
two and one-half inches thick, and the
side edges two and one-half to one and
one-half inches. These benches were
three feet wide where they fitted
against the sides of the house, and
five feet, when in the center. Three
feet is quite as far as one can reach to
plant, etc.
"The proportions were four parts of
sharp sand to one of cement, which
was knocked up wet. In about a
week's time the sections could be
moved from the molds and stood up
on end with care, and from then given
plenty of water until set quite hard.
The second method is much preferred,
however, for it is quicker and does not
take so much ground space. For this,
a box mold was made in two pieces,
so that the cement could be rammed
in and the mold taken off, merely by
opening the two parts. The propor-
tions here are the same, but the cement
or sand should not be wetted at all.
It should be put in the mold and well
rammed when moist enough to cling
when squeezed in the hand. In half
:ui hour the mold can bo taken off
and the newly made section be damped
down with plenty of water from a fine
rose. In three days this section will
be solid enough to be stacked close
to others, so that the sun and wind do
not dry them too quickly. In less than
a month they can be placed in the
house, but it is best not to hurry.
' ' Drainage holes should be allowed
for by either method, also two pieces
of thin pipe. Or, better still, bed laths
should be put almost the whole length
of the section to give it support. The
bench system has been tried and found
unsatisfactory by some growers in
England — due, no doubt, to the incor-
rect method of fixing. The idea is to
get good drainage, warmth and air un-
der and around the roots. It should
not be confused with the raised border,
from which it has quite a different ef-
fect. In fixing, the bench should be
raised at least six inches clear from
the ground, and is best supported on
light iron rails, such as are used by
contractors. These can be obtained
cheap. By this mode, a man can wa-
ter 1,000 plants in a few minutes;
in fact, a house does not require a tenth
the labor spent on it when pots are
used. It does not take so long to plant
as it does to pot, and, finally, the re-
sults in the first trial at Merstham are
quite suflicient to warrant extensions
without considering the labor-saving
point of view, and growers are recom-
mended to give the system a trial."
ABRANGEMENT OF SHBUBS.
Never plant shrubs, nor flowers, nor
anything else, in the center of the lawn,
says the National Council of Horticul-
ture in one of its recent bulletins dis-
tributed to the newspapers of the coun-
try. Such planting dwarfs the place
and spoils all artistic effect.
Where the house foundation meets
the lawn is a harsh line. Plant shrubs
around the house, close to the founda-
tion, to bide it. The view under the
front porch is not pleasing, so plant
something to hide that. The weekly
wash and other things occasionally seen
in the backyard are not beautiful, so
plant a screen of tall shrubs from the
back of the house to the fence on either
side. » The division fences are not hand-
some, so shrubs may be planted to hide
them, at least partly. Square corners
are not pleasing, so plant shrubs in the
corners to round them off.
If there is anything unsightly about.

Boiler Insurance.
When we come tn the ipiestion of
boiler insurance, we reach a ydiase of in-
surance that is entir(dy different from
any other. In what way? In the fact
tli.at the inspeidinns which are constantlv'
being made of the insured boilers frc-
(|ncntly point out defects in time to avoid
serious ac(ddent, and often I'iweal inefli-
(deney on the |iart of employees, whose
ignoiance may ruin a valuable plant,
e\-en without causing an explosion. At
lirst glance the foregidiig statement does
not show the full extent of the |irote(dion
olfei'ed as compared with tlu,' paynu'ut of
loss resulting from ;ui explosion, so let us
consider further.
A serious boili'r explosiiin is a terrible
lliing. It fre()ueutly, in fact usually,
means a loss of life, in addition to great
property damag<'. ^Vnything that can be
clone to ]U'C!vent t iiese disasters is a sa-
cred duty. Just think- since October 1,
181)7, there ha\i' occurred over J (1,000
recorded boiler oxj)losions, causing the
death of more tlnin 12,500 j)crsons, the in-
jury of l(j,000 others, and the destruc-
tion of millions of (.lollars ' worth of prop-
erty. Hoiler insjiection would ha\e saved
a laig(> ])roi)ortion of those li\cs and
much of the danuiged jiropcrty.
.M.any owners of h(?ating boih'rs have
the mistaken idea that, because of the
low })ressure carried, the boiler is not so
liable to explode as a high ])res3ure
boiler. This is not true, liowever. A
high pressure power boiler is fully as
strong-, ill relation to jiressure carried, as
the low [iressure heating boiler, and
the one is no more subject to ex-
plosion than the other. This fact
is fully shown by the many explo-
sions that occur in low juessure heating
plants. The aceoinpanying illustrations
give some idea of a most disastrous heat-
ing boiler explosion which occurred in
the grocnhouses of (ieorge M. Kellogg,
I'leasani Hill, .Mo. The damage was es-
timated at $75,000. No one was injured,
as the explosion occurred just before the
employees arrived for work in the morn-
ing, but about 50,(J00 S(piare feet of glass
were destroyed.
This boiler was one of thirteen, and
iinestigation after the accident showed
that iiis]iection service would most likely
ha\e found the (hd'cct in time to prevent
the disaster. This case is only one of
many, and, if sjiaee W(uil(l permit, exam-
ple after exampl(> couKl be given show-
ing coiicliisix cly that heating boilers
-hould be inspected as reguharly and thor-
'Migldy as the jioAVfr \ariety.
The Hartford .Steam iioiler Insjjection
.and lusiirance Co., \vl)i(h is the only com-
pany that handles boiler insurance ex-
I lusively and is, without doubt, the
strongest and most reliable concern in
the business, makes the following state-
inent : "It is sometimes diflieult for a
layman to understand how it is possible
for a steam heating boiler, operated at a
pressure of from live to fifteen pounds
per square inch, to explode. It is more
ililliciilt to understand how a hot water
boiler can explode, ^vhen it is not su{)-
posed to carry any steam pressure at all.

'if insjiectiug and insuring boilers of all
types, there is nothing strange about it,
pait iciilarly in view of the conditions of

Here is another case which emphasizes
tli(^ facts previously stated. A horizontal

houses of .Miller & Sons, at Bracondale,

anything <dse, in the center of the lawn,
says th(^ National <'oiincil of Ilorticul

tribiiteil to the news[ia]iers of the coun-
try. Su(di |)lanting dwarfs the place
and spoils all artistic (dVect.
Where! the house t'oiindation meets
the lawn is a harsh line. IMant shrubs
around the luMise, (dose to the founda-
tion, to hidf> it. The view umbu' the
front |iorch is not ple;ising, so plant
soiiKdhing to hide that. The weekly
wash and other things occasionally seen
in the backyard are not beautiful, so
pl;iiit a screen cd' tall sfnnlis from the

side. The division t'enc(>s are not hand
some, so shrubs rnav be planted to hide
them, at le;i.-t partly. S(piare corners

which can be hidden by plantations of
shrubbery, plant it out. Use shrubbery
for all these purposes, because while
flower plants are dead seven months in
the year, shrubbery partly conceals and
has pleasing forms even in winter.
Do not make a circle in the lawn
around every shrub you plant. Plant
the shrubs in borders and plant them
fairly thick, since if you get them too
far apart they will suffer from drought
and winter winds.
CAVEAT EMPTOR.
A number of letters from florists in
the state of Ohio recently have reached
The Review, complaining of the treat-
ment the florists have received at the
hands of a concern, salesmen for which
had induced them to put in perfumery
as a side-line. The florists state in their
letters that the salesmen make it ap-
pear that the florist has everything to
gain and nothing whatever to lose, but
that, having signed his name "to a
little printed form," it turns out that
the florist has agreed to do a number
of things about which the agent said
nothing. The florists say that threats
are employed to compel them to live up
to the agreement signed without under-
standing its character. One florist
writes: "The company's agent told us
they were looking up the florists to in-
troduce their goods, and in return for
the privilege of placing them on sale
would give the florist $150 worth of ad-
vertising free. The salesman made the
.proposition look like gold, and not to
cost the florist a cent, but to insure him
a neat little rum at the end of the year
for his trouble. The agent winds up
with a neat little contract that he reads
to the florist, but only the part best
suited to hi-3 purpose, and gets the flo-
rist to sign bis name to it. When ob-
jection is made to signing he says in a
smooth way that it is only a little form
to show the florist 's good intention in
taking care of the stock and giving it a
chance to sell. In a few days along
comes $200 worth of goods, with a bill
showing you have bought the stock at
thirty days net, or your notes for four,
six, eight and ten months. In my case
the bill arrived one day before the goods
and I saw at once how the game was
going, so I flatly refused to accept the
goods. After the goods had lain in the
freight house unclaimed for over thirty
days, on advice of my attorney I paid
the freight both ways and sent them
back. The company has since been try-
ing to get me to sign the notes in settle-
ment, or they would bring suit."
One of the best rules to apply in deal-
ing with a plausible stranger is to retain
a copy of all his literature and not close
the deal until after a sufficient time for
consideration and investigation. An-
other rule, and one that is so plain that
it seems strange any man would fail to
observe it, is not to sign any paper
until you have taken that paper in your
own hands and read it through with
care.
HERE WE SHOW YOU.
At St. Joseph, in the Show Me state,
the Stuppy Floral Co. has two estab-
lishments. They are pictured herewith.
The older place adjoins the largest
cemetery in the city and from it the es-
tablishment gets the name of Mt, Mora
Greenhouses. This range of glass is de-
voted entirely to carnations and bedding
plants. An extremely large cemetery
trade is handled here. The newer es-
- tablishment, out in the country, con-
sists of eleven houses, each 29x200. All
of these are in roses, eight of them be-
ing devoted to Killarney and American
Beauty. It is an ideal location for cut
flower growing, with plenty of good soil
right at hand. The picture does not
show the service building at the new es-
tablishment; it stands just to the right
of the houses.

I SEASONABLE
SUGGESTIONS
I
Left-over Easter Plants.
Spiraeas unsold should not be thrown
away. It is not generally known how
much finer home-grown spiraea roots
are than those imported. If large, chop
them in two with a sharp spade and
plant out in nursery rows in good
ground, allowing eighteen inches be-
tween the plants. If set out now, these
plants should not be dug up until the
late fall of 1912, when many of them
will need cutting in two or three pieces
to make them go in 7-inch pots.
Azaleas should have all flowers and
flower seeds removed. After the middle
of May they can be planted out in any
good garden soil, where they can be
reached with the hose. If kept well
syringed, these will bloom earlier and
more freely than what are imported.
Ericas can have much the same treat-
ment as azaleas, at least such varieties
as Mediterranea, Caffra densa and me-
lanthera. Prune back the long shoot?
a little. They can be planted out at
the same time as the azaleas, as can
any left-over camellias. In the case of
rhododendrons, these plants prefer some
shade, particularly from the morning
sun, and should have a liberal mulch of
spent manure or partly decayed leaves.
Genistas, if of considerable size, hardly
pay to carry over. They cannot be
planted out, as they do not lift well,
and it is really more work to keep them
than to grow along younger stock.
Memorial Day Crops.
Hydrangeas should now have their
heads just peeping. Give them suffi-
cient space so that they will stand clear
of each other. Water they must have in
abundance. Few plants require greater
quantities. Apply liquid manure every
third day as soon as the flower heads
show, discontinuing it when the flowers
show color. In order not to draw the
plants, a night temperature not exceed-
ing 55 degrees is to be preferred, but
in case they are late give them 10 de-
grees more for a time. A spraying
overhead on clear days will greatly
refresh the plants. If a sufficient num-
ber of cuttings have not yet been put
in, look over the plants and take off a
quantity of shoots which will not
flower. These will root in about three
weeks and make excellent plants for
another season. Do not allow the earli-
est batch of rooted cuttings to remain
too long in the sand or to become much
potbound before shifting them.
Benches containing ten weeks ' stocks,
g^ladioli, snapdragOLS, candytuft and
other Memorial day crops should be
scratched over at least once a week and
have all weeds removed. Pull out all
single stocks. They have little com-
mercial value. Rub the side shoots
from the snapdragons and see that they
have the necessary supports. Mark
plants of extra good varieties and insert
a batch of cuttings of each. Lilium

'ongiflorum, if it shows its buds at
I'.'aster, can easily be held for Memorial
lay. In the case of L. candidum, if
imds can be seen May 1, they will be
in time, provided they have a light,
sunny house.
Standard Heliotropes.
Heliotropes as bedding plants are
well known and popular. A bed of
them is much improved if one or two
standai;ds can be dotted through it. The
growing of standards presents few diffi-
culties. They can be had either from
cuttings or seed. The latter produces
the more vigorous plants. Select the
most robust plants for standards. Rub
away all side shoots and remove all
flowers. Carry up the stem to any de-
sired height before finally pinching it
and allowing it to make a head. Of
course, a stake of sUjfficient stoutness
to hold the plant erect must be used.
It is not now too late to root cuttings
to grow on into standards. If grown
along all summer and winter, these can
be flowered if desired for Easter, as
more than one enterprising grower has
done, or if preferred can be potted on
and sold in large pots or small tubs for
summer flowering. If kept well watered
and fed, these heliotropes will bloom
practically all summer, and if big speci-
mens are desired, the old plants can be
carried over winter moderately cool
and dry and then pruned back a little
and started in heat as spring advances.
These standards, when securely staked
and plunged to prevent blowing over,
are charming features in any garden.
Marguerites.
Marguerite plants which are grown
for cutting should now have the pots
or boxes stood on the bods or benches,
so that they can root through freely,
and will, in addition, need lots of water
and frequent feeding, or the stems will
not have the length or the flowers the
size we would like to see. Plants set
out in narrow benches will now be
coming to flower freely and should give
a crop until the latter part of June.
Marguerites as winter bloomers must
have their root run restricted, but after
the early spring they flower finely
planted directly in the benches. Young
stock, both yellow and white varieties,
should have the flowers pinched off.
These should be carried over summer
in a cold house or frame, and if they
can have shade from laths to keep them
cooler, they will summer much better,
especially the yellow varieties. Mar-
guerites are being more grown every
vear and sell as well as any flower on
the market, and the grower who may
have a house not quite adapted for car-
nation or rose culture may turn it to
good advantage by filling it with mar-
guerites. Myosotis can be planted
along the edges of the benches and, if
there are any posts, run a few sweet
peas up them.
NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY.
The National Sweet Pea Society of
America will hold its annual convention
and summer exhibition at Philadelphia,
June 23 and 24, 1911, under the auspices
of the Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety and in connection with its annual
sweet pea exhibition.
A guarantee fund for a general list
of prizes has been headed by our presi-
dent, W. Atlee Burpee, the Henry F.
Michell Co., Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Ar-
thur T. Boddington and other seed
houses contributing. A preliminary
schedule will be published in a few
days, showing list of prizes, cups, etc.,
and a general program for the conven-
tion. Contributions for additional prizes
in the form of cash or cups, etc., -are in-
vited from the trade.
The prize list will amount to about
$500, which should act as a great stim-
ulus to the lovers of sweet peas, and
intending exhibitors should make due
preparations for this, the third annual
exhibition given by our society. For
further particulars write to the under-
signed at 342 West Fourteenth street,
New York city.
Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y.
THE CUT FLOWER CROP.
Growth is now rapid under glass, and,
unless the plants are looked over fre-
quently, there is a danger of the haulm
becoming bent, which will spoil the
flowering stems for sale purposes. With
increasing sun heat, the beds dry out
more quickly and water supplies must
be increased. March and April are the
two months when sweet peas under
glass reach their greatest perfection.
When the early summer torrid waves
arrive, they rapidly deteriorate in qual-
ity. They are naturally cool, moisture-
loving subjects and no attempt should
ever be made to force or coddle them.
Plaiits flowering should be supplied with
liquid manure once a week, or in place
of this have a top-dressing of cow or
sheep manure hoed in before watering.
Keep the ventilators open whenever the
weather will permit, and there are few
days after April comes in when they
cannot be opened for at least a few
hours daily. A night temperature of 50
degrees will be about right. This can
be advanced 2 or 3 degrees as the
month progresses. The Spencer varie-
ties are now starting to flower and
from this time on will command the
best prices. Out of the numerous va-
rieties now listed, the original Countess
Spencer remains at the head of the pro-
cession as a seller.
As the outdoor sweet peas come
through the ground, run the cultivator
freely among them, and where they
have come up too thickly this is an
opportune time to do necessary thin-
ning. If strong haulm, which will carry
stout flower stems, is wanted, the
plants must be given ample room in
which to develop. A row of plants
thickly sown may look pleasing in the
early stages of growth, but as the sea-
son advance^i these thick seedlings sim-
ply smother one another, stem-rot de-
velops and the flower stalks, instead of
carrying three and four flowers each,
average half that number. Get sup-
ports into position as soon as possible.
Plants started in pots in a cold green-
house or coldframes can go outdoors any
time after the middle of April. Harden
them off gradually first. Before setting
them out place the supports in the
rows and do not crowd the plants. A
foot apart will prove more satisfactory
than half that distance; that is, if the
little pots contain an average of three
plants each.

Tlic Weekly Florists' Review.
Afbil 18, 1911.
IN FAS ALBEBTA.
Probably the average florist, if he
knows where Alberta is to be found on
the map, mentally ijegards it as next
door to the jumping-off place, but the
fact is that many a prosperous florist
is to be found in this western province
of Canada. At Lethbridge, on a branch
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, Frache
Bros, made a start in 1910. The accom-
panying illustration shows their estab-
lishment. It consists of two houses,
one 32x140 and the other 32x200. Car-
nations are the only cut flowers that
are grown. Ferns, smilax, lettuce and
tomatoes, the latter during the summer
season only, occupy the balance of
the space. The houses are of semi-iron
construction, with concrete walls and
concrete benches, iron purlins and iron
purlin supports. The houses are heated
with steam carried at a fairly high
pressure in the boiler and regulated by
a pressure reducing valve to the desired
low pressure carried on the coils. The
condensation is taken care of by auto-
matic return traps, and altogether the
plant is strictly up-to-date. Business
has been good ever since the houses
were completed, and an early addition
to the range is anticipated.
BEDDING STOCK.
With Easter flowering plants out of
the way, it is now possible to give the
geraniums the space which they have
sorely needed for some weeks. All of
them, unless late propagated, should
be in 4-inch pots. The latest batch
should not go beyond 3-inch. They will
not retail for as much as the larger
ones, but even if customers are not
found for them all they will -come in
useful to plant out for stock. When
spreading out the planter,- 'pick them
over and remove any weeds. If any,
perchance, have a slimy surface, scratcli
them over. This sometimes happens, al-
though it should not if the plants were
properly watered. If any of the earliest
potted batch are showing signs of
starvation, a light top-dressng of fine
bone mixed with loam, or a watering
with nitrate of soda or weak cow ma-
nure, will tone them up. A pinch of
Clay's fertilizer will also have a mag-
ical effect on such plants. It can be
safely applied once in ten days, either
in liquid form or as a top-dressing.
After the middle of April it is per-
fectly safe to place a quantity of the
largest geraniums in frames. If a few
inches of warm manure and leaves are
moistened, well mixed and tramped firm-
ly, and if a layer of fine ashes three to
four inches thick is spread over this and
the geranium pots partially plunged,
you will be surprised to note how well
they thrive. Greenhouse space is valu-
able until Memorial day is past and the
coldframes make a valuable overflow,
which can now be fully appreciated.
Some covering will still be needed on
cold nights, but ventilation can be free-
ly afforded on all pleasant days.
Unless there is a demand for plants
early in the season, it is better to keep
the flower trusses picked oflf until to-
wards the end of April.
Some growers make quite a little
business in geraniums at Easter and
there is every reason why they should
be more used at this festival. They are
something people of moderate means
want and can easily grow and nice 4-
inch pots carrying a good truss each
should sell, especially if the varieties
are up-to-date and embrace the most
popular shades of color.
GERANIUM FOLIAGE SCALDED.
Can you tell me what is the trouble
with my geraniums, of which I send
some leaves? The trouble started last
January near the heater and on a level
near the top and I thought some hot
water must have come from overhead
and scalded the leaves. About a week
or two ago the trouble got much worse
arid I risked spreading it by moving the
I^ants and it is a little better. Callas,
where the geraniums stood, now have
their leaves badly spotted. Can you
tell me what causes this? J. F. T.
A number of the leaves had a much
scalded appearance and the mere fact
that callas placed where the geraniums
had been growing were similarly af-
fected, would go to show that hot water
was the probable cause of the scalding.
The spots on some of the leaves (in
batch No. 2) may have been caused by
a sun scald, due to inferior glass, or
may have been induced to some extent
by growing the plants soft and warm
and keeping the atmosphere too damp
and stuffy. The compost, too, has to be
taken into consideration. If you have
used much decayed manure in your soil,
it promotes a rank and soft growth,
which falls an easy prey to disease. On
the other hand, by using little manure
and that old and well decayed, and
some fine bono at the rate of a 4-inch
pot to each bushel of soil, you will pro-
mote a firm growth which will give you
short-jointed wood, which will flower
freely. Then again, you should always
pot firmly. Loosely potted plants .re
never a success.
Geraniums are not usually troul ed
with any disease if soil and other eoi U.
tions are to their liking. Never co(, He
them; 45 to 50 degrees at night is ivu m
enough. Do not treat them as seal-
aquatics, but; let them dry out well Se-
tween waterings. Do not make a hadt
of playing tne hose on the foliage. T! ey
do not need it and if you have soiie
poor glass, scalding may be the o it-
come. Ventilate freely and never et
your house have a close, stuffy feeliig,
as such conditions are exactly wLat
geraniums dislike. Pick off all the badly
affected leaves. Give as much space as
possible. Pick over weekly, and any
which may have a starved look will be
improved by a weak dose of nitrate of
soda water. C. W.
CUTTINGS.
Making and Booting.
Cuttings may be made of leaves,
shoots, branches or roots, but for the
purposes of these notes I shall only deal
with the cuttings of soft-wooded plants
and those which are to some extent
hardy, the whole subject being large
enough for a small book. The time and
manner of taking cuttings, the. kind of
parents they are taken from, the mate-
rial in which they are placed, the treat-
ment to be given them afterward, and
many other details are so varied that I
can do no more here than mention a few
general principles upon which success in
rearing cuttings rests, says Alger Petts
in an article in the Gardeners' Magazine.
First, as to the best kinds of material
for cuttings. When a piece of zonal
pelargonium, for instance, is separated
from the parent plant, if the cutting, aa
it now becomes, is put into a suitable
medium, a thickening, or callus, is formed
along the cut edge, and from this roots
are subsequently emitted. If the shoot
had remained on the plant the leaves
would have continued elaborating plant
food for use in the formation of new tis-
sue in all parts of the plant, including
the roots. As tissue-forming material
cannot get down to the roots of a new
cutting, it gets as far as it can — the cut
end — and there accumulates.
The Bight Cuttings.
The cutting selected, then, must have
enough inherent energy not only to main-
tain itself while it is without roots, but
also to form roots; in other words, the
substance of the cutting must contain a
sufficient proportion of solid matter, witb
leaves in the full vigor of plant life. It
is obvious that if a shoot is not in a
condition to make fair growth while on
the plant, it will not be able to grow and
form roots in addition when made into a
Establishment of Frache Bros^ Lethbridge, Alberta.

Getting Out Fourteen Hundred Plant Orders in One Day.
cutting, and this bars the taking of any
shoot with a flower or flower bud at the
tip, as the growth of such a shoot has
already nearly reached its natural limit.
On the other hand, plants that have been
growing rankly will not be able to main-
tain themselves when suddenly cut off
from the liberal supply of nourishment
to which they have been accustomed.
Plants grown in the shade, with, per-
haps, in addition an exc6BS of moisture,
will provide watery shoots with little of
the solid substance necessary to the for-
mation of roots.
The ideal material, then, for making
into cuttings must not be too watery or
too rank in growth, but should possess
the maximum of solid substance in itielf
consistent with the possession of leaves
with their vital Xunctions unimpaired by
age.
The Sight Preparation.
Then as to the preparation of the cut-
tings. Prom what has been said above,
it will be seen that if the cutting is too
long, or the leaves too large, failure vrill
result from excessive transpiration, while
if the cutting is too small the formation
of roots will be slow. What is a long
cutting for plants with slender laterals,
like the antirrhinum, is short for thick
growth like that of the zonal pelargo-
nium. The shoots should always be cut
straight across just below a joint, and
this should be done with a sharp knife,
M a smooth cut heals over much more
quickly than a ragged edge.
Many plants lend themselves to the
taking of laterals as cuttings with a heel
attached, and such cuttings need little
preparation beyond the removal of the
lower leaves close to the stem, and pos-
sibly' a trimming of the heel. In the
fuchsia it is usual to remove two large
leaves and perhaps two small ones, but
in the pentstemon sometiitaes as many as
•ix or eight.
An interesting point was raised by
Professor George Henslow, in a paper
fead before the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety in June, 1908, on ' ' The Absorption
of Rain and Dew by the Green Parts of
Plants." He referred to a German
scientist, who, in accord with his theory
•^1 at the frequent fading of cuttings be-
fore they have struck root is to be ac-
counted for by the fact that the trans-
P' ration from the exposed leaves is
greater than the amount of water which
tlie cut end can supply, recommends that
the cutting should be longer than usual,
and that some of the leaves should be
buried to assist in the absorption of
water. It is claimed that cuttings of
roses, pinks, and others usually not easy
to strike, will make good roots in thlB
way if the soil is porous enough to per-
mit of the free access of air to encourage
the formation of roots- before the leaves
have time to decay. This is a case where
each may experiment for himself, but it
is certainly suggestive.
The Bight Time.
The time for taking cuttings is too
various to admit even of generalization,
there being no time of the year which is
not the best time for some plants, as we
take chrysanthemum cuttings from No-
vember to March, most things in the
spring, carnations and pelargoniums in
the summer, calceolarias and pentstemons
in the autumn. Many plants will strike
at any time of the year, though there is
a best time for most, and experience is
the best teacher. As a rule, however,
most soft-wooded plants strike well in
the spring.
The compost in which cuttings are put
is in many cases important, though some
will strike freely enough in the ordinary
soil of the border. Silver sand is one of
the best mediums for most plants, not
only for mixing with the soil, but for
putting round each cutting, as, being free
from animal matter, it delays putrefac-
tion, and, by reason of its fineness, as-
sists in the rise of water to the base of
the cutting, besides filling up every in-
terstice so that there is no likelihood of
the cut end being suspended clear of con-
tact— a fatal error.
Pots should be filled half-full of clean
potsherds, and rough material put over
these. If the soil is dry it should be
well soaked and left for some time before
the cuttings are put in it. Many cut-
tings do best when inserted round the
sides of a pot, though others do equally
well in any part.
Later Treatment.
There is one point about the after
treatment which is of general application,
and that is that the cuttings should not
be allowed to flag more than can be
helped. To compensate for the dimin-
ished power of absorbing moisture on the
part of the cuttings, we usually keep
them in a moist atmosphere, often, in-
deed, within a propagating frame inside
a greenhouse.
There is an immense difference in the
amount of moisture which cuttings of
different kinds of plants will stand, and
a degree which is necessary to some will
cause others to damp off rapidly, but the
liability to do this is lessened in all cases
by a proper airing at least once a day.
This applies also when bell glasses are
used, as these, when pressed tightly down
on the soil, are almost air-proof. The
air in these is consequently maintained
in a very close state, and cuttings of
many plants can be successfully raised
under them. Some need bottom heat, so
that not only the air, but the soil in
which the cuttings are put, is kept warm,
thus accelerating the formation of roots.
Most need shading from the direct rays
of the sun, but an almost full amount
of diffused sunshine is beneficial as a
rule. If the weather is cool, water should
be applied very sparingly, and then only
enough to wet the leaves, which is usually
sufficient so long as the soil is mout
about the base of the cuttings.
THE MAIL OBDEB PLANT TRADE.
This is proving an exceptionally
heavy season for the plant department
of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines. They
frequently fill from 600 to 1,000 plant
orders per day, but one day last week
they filled and packed for shipment by
mail or express 1,400 plant orders. What
that means during freezing weather
every plant shipper will appreciate. A

CUTTINGS.
Making and. Rooting.
Cuttings may be made of lea\<-,
shoots, branches or roots, but for t'v-.e
purposes of these notes I shall only dcnl
with the cuttings of soft wooded planis
and tho.'^e which are to some extent
hardy, the whole subject being large
enough for a small book. The time and
manner of taking cuttings, the kind cf
parents they are taken from, the matf
rial in which they are placed, the treat
nient to be given them afterward, and
many other details are so varied that I
can do no more here than mention a few
general principles upon which success m
rearing cuttings rests, says Alger Petts
in an article in the Gardeners' Magazine.
First, as to the best kinds of material
for cuttings. When a piece of zonal
pelargonium, for instance, is separated
from the parent plant, if the cutting, as
it now becomes, is put into a suitable
medium, a thickening, or callus, is formed
along the cut edge, and from this roots
are subsequently emitted. If the shoot
had remained on the plant the leaves
would have continued elaborating plant
food for use in the formation of new tis
sive in all parts of the plant, including
the roots. As tissue forming material
cannot get down to the roots of a new-
cutting, it gets as far as it can — the cut
end — and there accumulates.
The Right Cuttings.
The cutting selected, then, must havr
enough inherent energy not only to mail;
tain itself while it is without roots, but
also to form roots; in other words, tb-
substance of the cutting must contain ■
sutticienl jiroportion of solid matter, wit
leaves in the full vigor of plant life,
is obvious that if a shoot is not in
coiiilition to make fair growth while c
the plant, it will not he able to grow aL :
form roots iu addition when made into

r iig, and this bars the taking of any

;. :idy nearly reached its natural limit.

limits grown in the shade, with, per-
'i.i)is. in addition an excess of moisture,
a; II provide watery shoots with little of
liic solid substance necessary to the for-
iiuUion of roots.
The ideal material, then, for making
niio cuttings must not be too watery or
I no rank in growth, but should possess
till' inaximuin of solid substance in itself
.tiiiisistent with the possession of leaves
with their vital lunctions unimpaired by
The Right Preparation.
Tiicu a.s to the preparation of the cut-
tint,'s. From what has been said above,
It. will be seen that if the cutting is too
lung, or the leaves too large, failure will
result from excessive transpiration, while
■ f the cutting is too small the formation
uf roots will be slow. What is a long
I'utting for plants with slender laterals,
like the antirrhinum, is short for thick
growth like that of the zonal pelargo-
'liiun. The shoots should always be cut
siiaight across just below a joint, and
tins should be done with a sharp knife,
'*^ a smooth cut heals over much more
iliiickly than a ragged edge.
Many plants lend themselves to the
I'lking of laterals as cuttings with a heel
ntiachcd. and such cuttings need little
pr'-paration beyond the removal of the
l"^M'r leaves c^ose to the stem, and pos-
^ ''.V a trimming of the heel. In the
' ■ lisia it is usual to remove two large
■' ' fs and perhaps two small ones, but
' 'lit- pt^'ntstemon sometimes as many aa
■ "1- eight.
" interesting point was raised by
' '-'ssor George Henslow. in a paper
before the Koval Horticultural So-
• in June. 1908,'on "The Absorption
'''ain and Dew by the Green Parts of
ts. " He referred to a German
tist, who. in accord with his theory
the frequent fading of cuttings be-
tliev have struck root is to be ac-
'ed 'for by the fact that the trans-
'ion from' the exposed leaves is
Her than the amount of water which
lit end can supply, recommends that
the cutting should be longer than usual,
and that some of the leaves should be
buried to assist in the absorption of
water. It is claimed that cuttings of
roses, pinks, and others usually not easy
to strike, will make good roots in this
way if the soil is porous enough to per-
mit of the free access of air to encourage
the formation of roots before the leaves
have time to decay. This is a case where
each may experiment for himself, but it
is certainly suggestive.
The Right Time.
The time for taking cuttings is too
various to admit even of generalization,
there being no time of the year which is
not the best time for some plants, as we
take chrysanthemum cuttings from No-
vember to March, most things in the
spring, carnations and pelargoniums in
the summer, calceolarias and pentstemons
in the autumn. Many plants will strike
at any time of the year, though there is
a best time for most, and experience is
the best teacher. As a rule, however,
most soft wooded plants strike well in
the spring.
The compost in which cuttings are put
is in many cases important, though some
will strike freely enough in the ordinary
soil of the border. Silver sand is one of
the best mediums for most plants, not
only for mixing with the soil, but for
putting round each cutting, as, being free
from animal matter, it delays putrefac
tion. .and, by r(;as(m of its fincno.ss. as
sists ill the list; of watrr to tli<! base of
tlio cutting. b»!side3 tiiliii;; up every in-
terstice so that there is no likelihood of
till' (Mil did being siisjtendcd clcjir of con-
twcl a fatal error.
Pols should be tilled iial f full of clean
[intslicrds. and roii^^li niatcri.-il put over
these. If the soil is dry it .should bo
woll soaked and left for sorno time before
tlit^ cuttings are |)ut in it. Many cut
tings (111 best wlu'ii inserted round the
sides I)!' a j)ot, though others do equally
will ill any part.
Later Treatment.
There is one point about the after
tieatiiieiit which is of general apjilication.
and thai is that the (Uittings should not
be allowed to flag iiioro than can be
helped. To compensate for the dimin-
ished power of absorbing moisture on the
part of the cutting.s, we usually keep
them 111 a moist atmosphere, often, in-
deed, within a propagating frame inside
a greenhouse.
There is an immense difference in the
amount of moisture which cuttings of
diflfereni kinds of plants will stand, and
a degree which is necessary to some will
cause others to damp off rapidly, but the
liability to do this is lessened in all cases
by a proper airing at least once a day.
This applies also when bell glasses are
used, as these, when pressed tightly down
on the soil, are almost air proof. The
air in these is consequently maintained
in a very close state, and cuttings of
many plants can be successfully raised
under them. Some need bottom heat, so
that not only the air, but the toil in
which the cuttings are put, is kept warm,
thus accelerating the formation of roots.
Most need shading from the direct ray»
of the sun, but an almost full amount
of diffused sunshine is beneficial as a
rule. If the weather is cool, water should
be apj)lied very sparingly, and then onJy
enough to wet the leaves, which is usually
suflKcient so long as the soil is moi«t
about the base of the cuttings.

EASTEB TABLES.
For a Itong Banquet Table.
The egg and duckling decoration, as
already described in my article on
"Easter Windows," may be easily
adapted to a table decoration. If for a
long banquet table, have a number of
eggs scattered along on the table,
mounted in the same way and not over
six or eight inches high. Use the pussy
willows or fruit blossoms between. The
smaller eggs will be much more easily
made of marguerites, the white outside
and the yellow inside, or they would be
daintily made of light blue and white
pansies. Smaller eggs still may be
used, one at each plate, and a duckling
or chick, either within the shell or
standing beside it.
A breakfast or luncheon decoration of
sweet peas can be arranged by filling
blown egg shells with sweet peas, one
at each place.
A Pansy Luncheon.
For a pansy luncheon, the whole cen-
ter space of the table may be arranged
in the form of a solid pansy bed in sev-
eral sections. Use the blooming plants as
a background. Enrich by adding many
cut blooms, stemmed. Any color scheme
obtainable may be worked out — purple
and lavender, brown and yellow,
white and blue, or all of these colors
carefully blended. Eggs and ducklings,
or chicks with full-blown roses, prefer-
ably pink, are scattered loosely over
the pansy bed. The poses of the birds
will have much to do with the effective-
ness of the decoration. They may be
perched on a stem, peeping into a rose,
nestled in a group of flowers, etc. A
bed of crocus or violets, arranged in
the same way, would be an equally at-
tractive decoration.
To Avoid Bepetition.
Some toy rabbits frolicking through a
bed of tulips or narcissi, with here and
there a broken stem and a flower lying
flat, will take with people who are much
entertained. Quite often one florist gets
the bulk of the trade of all the mem-
bers of one social set, and his center-
pieces should not be repeated often.
The more novelties and changes he can
introduce, the better. Seeing certain
society announcements, he can plan and
be ready for milady, giving her some-
thing new and planned especially for
her. Gertrude Blair.
AN AUSTBALIAN CLOCK DESIGN.
One of the standard funeral designs
in the United States is that which in-
cludes the clock dial, marking the
passage of time or the end of life. It
therefore is interesting to note the
same design as used in far-off Australia.
The illustration in this issue, in which
the dial appears, is reproduced from a
photograph made at Sydney at the time
of the obsequies for the late King Ed-
ward. Searl & Sons were too far from
The Kings Clock.
London to have orders for flowers for
the funeral, but they arranged their
window as a memorial window for the
occasion. The clock was the center-
piece of the display.
Review readers will be quick to note
that the style is considerably more open
than in the American "clocks." "Wt;
make them with more flowers. Perhaps
our method may use up more stock, but
it is doubtful if it results in any othet'
good purpose. Considering that this
design was made merely for display
in a store window, there is no criticism
of the somewhat unusual amount o'
lettering. As a rule, the inscription
should be kept down to the fewest pos
sible words, but it nevertheless is i;
fact that the design-maker often find-
himself at his wits' end to locate ap
propriately all the lettering he is re
quired to put on some piece of insig
nificant size. In the present instance
design and lettering are in harmony.
The space at the top seems to have
been specially designed for the words
"With His King," and the field at the
base, bearing the words "The Lpng
Day Closes," would necessarily have
been made up with loosely arranged cut
flowers had it not been for the letter-
ing that was to fill the space. The card
at the bottom is not a part of the de-
sign. The words, "Time, like an ever
rolling stream, bears all its sons away, ' '
were merely a part of the general
scheme of the memorial window.
RETAILEES' ADVERTISING.
The Eeview has from time to time re-
produced a number of the advertise-
ments which have been published in their
local papers by florists both in the large
cities and in country towns. It is not
always the man who has the largest busi-
ness who does the best advertising, but
it may be taken as a fact that the man
who does the best advertising steadily is
forging to the front, for the one whose
advertising shows that he gives it
thought is pretty sure also to give
thought to the other details of his busi-
ness and may be trusted to give atten-
tion to an order.
The reproduction of these advertise-
ments has afforded an idea to many
readers, for they are largely utilized in
the construction of advertisements for
others than the original advertiser. There
can be no harm in a florist in Iowa
using an idea gleaned from an advertise
mcnt published by one in Connecticut.
In fact, it is by adapting and develop-
ing the ideas of others that the best ad
vertisements usually are produced.
Good display is an important factor
in any advertisement. If you are not
sure of what you want in the line oi'
display, give your idea to your locai
newspaper man and let him work it uj'
for the printers. If he is at all up to
date he will make your interests his in
terests and get up something for yoi:
which will make an attractive showing.
As to what to put into an advertise
ment, opinions are as different as the
men who hold them. There is no ques
tion of the virtue in a brief argumen
as to your superior facilities, but if yo'
notice what advertisers in other line-
are doing you will see that the larges
advertisers invariably quote prices.

AN AUSTRALIAN CLOCK DESIGN.
One of the staiidar.l funeral tlesigns
in the I'nited States is that which in
(ludes the (dock dial, m.arking the
passage of time or the end of life. It
therefore is interesting to note the
same design as usc^d in farolf Australia.
The illustration in this issue, in which
the dial apj>ears, is reproduced fiom a
])hotogra|di made at Sydney at the time
of the obse(piies for the late King Ed
ward. Searl lic Sons were too far from
The King s Clock.
London to have orders for llo%vers for
tiie funeral, Imt they arranged their
window as a memorial window for the
occasion. The clock was the center-
piece (d' the display.
I.'eview readers will be fpiick to note
that the style is considerably nujro op( •
than in the American "(docjvs." \\
m.ake them with more flowers. I'erhaj
our nudhod may use u[) more stock, br
it is doubtful if it results in any otln
good pur])ose. ( 'onsidering that tli
design was made mends- for disphi
in a store w-indow', there is no criticisi
of the somewhat unusual amount >
hdfering. .\s a rule, the inscriptio
should he ke|)t down to the fewest ])()-
silde words, but it ne\-erth(dess is
f.'ict that tlu! design maker often find
himself at his wits' end to locate aji
|ii-opriat(d\' all the hdtei-ing he is re
(piired to |)ut on some piece; of insij.;
nilicant size. In the jiresent instano
design and bdtering are in liarmoii}
The space at the t(jp seems to ha\'

•'With His king," and the li(dd at tin

sign. The words, ''Time, like an e\(>'

RETAILERS' ADVERTISING.
The h'e\ ieu has from time to time rr
produced ;i number of the advertise
ments which iia\e iieen jniblished in tlieii
local p-i|ie>s hy florists ludh in the larg.
cities and in country towns. It is uoi
always the man who has the largest busi
ness who does th(> hest advertising, bii
it may be taken ;is a fact that the man
who does the best advertising steadily is
forgi)ig to the front, for the one whose
ad\t'rtising shows that he gives it
thought IS pretty sure also to gi\(
.hought to tiie otiier details of his busi
ness and may be trusted to give atten
tioii to an Miller.
The i-ennnlnctiou of tli(>se advert isi

The Weekly Florfets^ Review*
Apbil 13, 1011.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
The dark and cool weather which pre-
vailed last week shortened up receipts to
such an extent that normal prices again
1 eigned. It also kept stock in good shape,
for the quality of cut flowers is fine, in-
deed. The supply of carnations and roses
was equal to the demand, while valley,
violets and bulbous stock were a little
more plentiful. The only flowers in which
a decided shortage is felt are American
Beauties; even the Chicago market was
of no help when this line of stock was
called for. "Wild smilax is also a thing
of the past for this season. Common
ferns braced up somewhat and now com-
mand $4 per thousand. The supply of
Easter lilies, both plants and cut flowers,
will be equal to the demand.
Various Notes.
At the club meeting, April 6, various
topics cf interest came up and created
some entliusiasm. The entertainment com-
mittee was empowered to arrange for a
May party sometime next month. Nic
Zweifel entertained those present with a
brief description df his trip to the Bot-
ton convention, plus the numerous side
trips.
The Florists' Bowling League lost the
final match with the Odahnas, which was
rolled at Sonnenberg "s, on Third street,
April 7. Thus the florists lost two out
of three games. According to present
plans, the local boys will journey to Chi-
cago May 7 to roll the return game.
Anyone desiring to be in it (for all are
welcome), kindly inform Gust Rusch, care
of Helton & Hunkel Co., who is the man
in charge.
William Currie, C. C. PoUworth and
Nic Zweifel, who attended the Boston
convention, returned last week. They
state it was the finest and largest show
this country ever had, and a credit, in-
deed, to those who helped make it such.
The G. H. Hunkel Co. reports a heavy
call for plumosus seed of late. Mail order
trade is fully up to last year.
The C. C. Pollworth Co. cleaned up on
Perle roses on Palm Sunday, owing to the
confirmation exercises in the various
churches. The firm 's plants and cut stock
for Easter are all in prime condition.
At the greenhouses of the Holton &
Hunkel Co. they have been busy as bees
shipping plants for the Easter trade in
all directions. At the time of writing all
the best stock is spoken for.
The Fox Point Floral Co., which forces
a large batch of pot plants for Easter,
reports being cleaned out, with the excep-
tion of a few spiraeas, on Palm Sunday.
The Mueller & Schroeder Co. is cutting
exceptionally fine snapdragons, which
command a fancy price. This firm's car-
nations, too, are in fine shape.
Roy Currie, of the Currie Bros. Co.,
says the firm sold an exceptionally large
number of plants on the Saturday pre-
ceding Palm Sunday.
If business keeps up the pace it set the
first day of this week, the Edlefsen-
Leidiger Co. can be more than satisfied.
Christ Peterson, lately from Chicago,
has opened a stand for the sale of pot
plants at 53 Martin street.
William Zimmermann is keeping, up
with the times, for one of his latest pur-
chases was an auto.
The following were visitors: Ed Win-
terson, Chicago; James Matthewson, She-
boygan, Wis.; Mrs. Miller, Mrs. J. T.
Hinchliffe and Mr. Adams, all of Racine,
Wis, E, O,
NEW YORK.
The Market.
Palm Sunday made a unique spring
record. Early risers found the earth
completely covered with winter's snowy
mantle. The warm sun of Monday
melted this final reminder of winter and
rapidly, rising temperature gives hope
of the real advent of spring. The
plantsmen especially hope to avoid the
extra trouble and expense of wrapping.
Prices of cut flowers are steady, and
the improvement gradual. There will
be enough of everything. For years
' ' plant Easters ' ' have been the fashion.
The chances are about even again this
year for both branches of the trade
and plants and cut flowers will vie
equally for public recognition. The
week opens encouragingly. There is no
surplus. The left-over stock of last
week cleaned up rapidly. Beauties fell
to 30 cents April 8, There seems to be
an abundance of every variety of roses.
If values rise twenty-five per cent above
Monday's prices for Saturday, it is
generally believed that this will be the
limit. White carnations rose to 3 cents
April 10. All varieties are abundant
and quality is generally perfect; 4 to 5
cents will likely be the top quotation
for Easter. Fine cattleyas sold at 75
cents and even $1 was paid for the
best of them. A goodly variety of or-
chids are arriving and all of the best
wholesale houses will have their share
for distribution. The shipping demand
is increasing all the time, keeping pace
with the more numerous and larger
sources of supply.
There will be {)lenty of lilies, and
12 cents seems to be the top quotation
in pots, and 8 to 10 cents -for the cut
lilies, at which figure most of the pre-
liminary booking has been made. Callas
are holding at about the same figures
and valley is steady at 3 cents for the
high grade, with much inferior stock
selling as low as $1 per hundred. There
are oceans of sweet peas, violets and
flaflfodils. The best violets will be
scarce, the experts say, but of the me-
dium grade there will be enough and
to spare. Bulbous stock, especially tu-
lips, is a drug, and hard to move at
any figure.
Club Meeting.
The meeting of the Florists' Club,
April 10, was of exceptional interest.
Routine was quickly dispatched. The
dinner, reception, transportation and
legislative committees made reports and
were thanked, as were the donors of stock
for the annual dinner decoration and
Alex. McConnell for his decorative work.
Robert Young reported all arrangements
complete for the club's outing June 28.
Resolutions on the deaths of Mr, Kessler,
Mr. Pioroski and George Lorenz were
ordered. L. W. C. Tuthill was elected
to membership and M. H. Duryea, Joseph
Roberts and James Fisher were proposed.
Exhibits of the evening included:
Calla Elliottiana, from John Lewis
Childs, of Flowerfield, L. I., was
awarded the thanks of the club. Car-
nation Wodenethe, showii by Mr. Whit-
ney, was given the thanks of the club,
having previously been exhibited by C.
H. Totty, the disseminator. Harry A.
Bunyard, general manager for Arthur T.
Boddington, staged a splendid collec-
tion of sweet peas, flowered from his
firm's seed by William Sim, of Clifton-
dale, Mass. Twenty-one varieties in
many colors were included and a cultural
certificate was awarded.
F. R. Pierson gave an interesting ad-
dress on the National Flower Show. He
said the total expenditure amounted to
about $25,000, over $8,000 in premiums
being awarded, but the admissions were
over $19,000, and he assured those on
the guarantee list that they will not only
get their money back, but a dividend in
addition. C. B. Weathered spoke of the
many courtesies the New York visitors
to the show had received and J. H. Pep-
per showed some views of the exhibition.
Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., gave
a most interesting address on the gladi-
olus, illustrating his talks with colored
stereopticon views. He was enthusias-
tically cheered.
The house committee, Messrs. Fenrich
and Rickards officiating, provided most
appetizing refreshments and it is dif-
ficult to understand why only one-third
the club's membership attends these de-
lightful monthly reunions. Among those
present this evening were C. S. liord,
Minneapolis, and Fred Lautenschlager,
Chicago.
Various Notes.
This will be the busiest auction week
of the year. Extra sales are announced
and the Fruit Auction Co. is offering
stock every day, with John P. Cleary
on the rostrum. Prices are at high tide,
hardy roses selling at from 9 cents to
30 cents each. The crowds at Elliott's
and MacNiff's are double those of last
year, mostly made up of suburban buy-
ers. Easter flowering plants are the
principal offerings this week.
Of the better grade of plants the big
growers announce nothing left. The ad-
vance orders have been enormous.
John F, Sharkey died April 6 at his
residence, 102 West Forty-eighth street,
and the funeral services on Sunday
were attended by many of his florist
friends. He leaves a wife and son.
The bowlers have decided to use
Thumm's alleys, at Broadway and
Thirty-first streets, Friday evenings the
balance of the season.
J, J. Fellouris will move, May 1, to
larger and more convenient quarters at
116 West Twenty-eighth street.
Robert Berry has become manager of
a large estate at Great Neck, L, I,
Patrick O'Mara is in the south.
Arthur T. Boddington has returned
from a trip to Bermuda.
A, T, Bunyard will open a Newport
branch in June.
John Donaldson is convalescing.
The new market is open, and the
growers are slowly changing to the
larger quarters at Fifty-ninth street.
The first shipment of Easter lilies from
Bermuda arrived April 10, 1,500 crates;
price, 3 cents per flower.
Arthur Merritt is in business on his
own account, on upper Broadway, in the
store formerly occupied by Mengum &
Westwood. Mr. Mengum is with Thor-
ley and Mr. Westwood is manager of
Fleischman's branch in the Pennsyl-
vania terminal.
J. W. Merritt, of Brooklyn, has moved
his florists' supply establishment to the
ground floor at 386 Pearl street, where
he has abundance of room and facilities
for a large business.
The large dailies carry quite exten-
sive advertisements of Easter stock,
many of the large department stores
making their floral displays a special
feature. Trepel has this department in
three of these stores under his man-
agement, and his aggregate purchases

will amount to many thousands of dol-
lars.
Eussin & Hanfling say they will be
open all of Saturday night. All the
supply houses will doubtless concede
this opportunity to their patrons, and
every cut flower establishment will keep
open house, as usual.
,t,^ . J. K. Allen says that during the last
week he has averaged receipts of 500
Brunners daily.
J. Houck, of Bloomfield, N. J., is
building 10,000 square feet additional
to his greenhouse plant and installing
a No. 14 Kroeschell boiler. This will
make his total close to 40,000 square
feet. He is a member of the Growers'
Cut Flower Co., Ill West Twenty-
eighth street.
Mrs. Krick has a handsome store at
1379 Broadway, Brooklyn, close to the
locality of the old store and business
that was established by the firm in
1852. The trade welcomes her back to
the fold.
Secretary Eagleson, of the American
Institute, announces the fall dahlia
show for September 19 to 21, and the
mum show November 1 to 3.
A. T. Boddington gave a farewell
luncheon to the £!nglish visitors on the
eve of their departure for home April 4.
These gentlemen were greatly pleased
with their reception by the trade every-
where they went and were unanimous
in declaring they had had the time of
their lives.
April 12 the Horticultural Society of
New York had an Easter plant and
flower exhibition at the Museum of Na-

NEW OBLEANS.
The Market.
With the i^proach of Easter the
flower stores,. and many nurseries are
filled with all-ifeiiiSs of flowering plants,
especially lilies, iind, although the late-
ness of this festival this year makes
a large sale of plants and cut flowers
somewhat doubtful, a generally optimis-
tic view is prevailing^ Easter lilies, the
.predominant ••pjaires for the occasion,
are not quit^ as plentiful as in former
years, but those on Band are of a good
quality, especfSlly.the ones grown from
Louisiana bulbs. Spiraea Japonica, both
white and pink, are much less grown
than in former years and, with the ma-
jority of the growers, have finished
blooming. What is still on hand should
find a ready sale and bring a good price.
Ehododendrons, lilacs and hydrangeas
are scarce, as also is Azalea mollis, and
every one of these plants on hand will
surely go in a rush. The usual amount
of lily of the valley is forced by the
various -florists, and the market garden-
ers will bring in their usual supply of
small sized flowering plants of many
varieties. Since the last month the sale
of outdoor plants has increased con-
siderably, and the frequent, heavy rains
we have had of late helped the outdoor
stock along a good deal. For two weeks
the first gladioli, both light and dark
colors, have been in the market. Span-
ish iris has had a short season and hard-
ly any are to be cut now. The same can
be said of sweet peas; in fact, outdoor
flowers are at present exceedingly
scarce. Asters are planted by many
florists in greater quantities than in
former years; so are single tuberoses,
and both of these furnish valuable sum-
mer cut flowers for different uses.
Many large orders for wedding deco-
The Trade Exhibits were Attractively Staged at Boston.
rations after Easter have been booked
with several of our leading florists, and
the different social functions following
the dull lenten season will be gladly
welcomed by all the florists.
Variotis Notes.
Abele Bros, have a nice lot of white
hydrangeas in bloom. Their enlarged
grounds are constantly restocked with
all kinds of commercial shipping plants.
They report the present season the best
they have known in the last five years.
Doescher & Jones, a young and en-
terprising firm, have a fine and healthy
stock of different varieties of nephrol-
epis of all sizes, besides a large col-
lection of outdoor plants for shipping.
C. W. Eichling's Easter plants are in
time. He has a well grown lot of lilies
and spiraeas, besides his usual fine lily of
the valley.
The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. has
a large and elegant stock of Easter
lilies (gigantoum and longiflorum), also
gloxinias, bougainvilleas, Spiraja Ja-
ponica, in white and pink varieties, and
valley, besides a fine collection of foli-
age plants. The four large rose houses
are still furnishing a constant supply of
fine blooms, as well as thousands of cut-
tings to grow their own stock and for
the shipping trade.
J. A. Newsham 's Easter lilies are
among the best in the city. They are
mostly grown from Louisiana bulbs and
have strong stems, with large, perfect
flowers. Besides these, he has gome ele-
gant cattleyas for the holidays.
P. A. Chopin has his Easter lilies
in first-class shape. They are all grown
from bulbs raised by himself in differ-
ent parts of Louisiana. The stems are
extremely strong, with an abundance of
buds, and the flowers are perfect in
every detail. He was one of the first
local florists to introduce the lily culture
in Louisiana and hopes to start the ship-
ping of bulbs in a few years.
U. J. Virgin has some of the finest
rhododendrons, lilacs and hydrangeas
ever grown for Easter, and will un-
doubtedly find ready buyers at top notch
prices. R. E.
IMPROVING THE STAGINO.
Some of those in the allied trades who
exhibited at the National Flower Show
at Boston made something of a grimace
at the price of space, but it is pleasant
to record that now that the show is
over and there has been time for cast-
ing up results, practically every trade
exhibitor expresses himself as well
pleased with the business done. It was
the first time that the allied trades
have bought space in an Q^hibition de-
signed primarily for the general public,
and of course they wanted to put their
best foot forward. There has been no-
table progress in the last few years in
the staging of our trade displays. Not
so many years ago all that was consid-
ered necessary was to set one's mer-
chandise upon a table. The only ad-
junct was a sign. The larger it was,
and the more glaring its colors, the bet-
ter it suited. At the Boston exhibition
many of tho.so of the allied trades had
the advantage of the use of some of the
fixtures remaining from previous exhibi-
tions, and on the whole the trade dis-
play was staged much more attractively
than any of its predecessors, as can be
seen from the accompanying illustration
showing the booth of one of the ribbon
houses, though quite naturally the ex-
hibitor thinks this the most attractive
display of the lot. So well was the
S. A. F. executive committee pleased
with the appearance of this exhibition
that in framing the rules for the August
exhibition it was voted to cut out the
big signs and glaring placards, to the
end that all our trade displays may in
future have greater dignity and be more
pleasing to the eye.

EESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
From Easter to Memorial day this
year is only six weeks — none too long a
time to get the bedding plants into con-
dition and most of them sold.
There is complaint from all over the
country that the giganteum lilies for
Easter have flowered on too short stems
to realize the hopes of the growers.
After having been without a varie-
gated carnation for several years, it looks
as though a couple more seasons will see
the markets heavily supplied with striped
and blotched varieties.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Beview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
A GREAT many florists are buying more
glass than they have any immediate in-
tention of using; at present prices a few
hundred boxes of glass on the place are
a cheap form of insurance.
Spring weddings will now be in order.
Don't forget that the sweet pea is quite
a different flower from what it was a few
short years ago and that it is the coro:
nation flower in England. Use the mod-
ern sweet pea in your spring work and
you will make a hit.
The annual report of the Society of
American Florists was received April 6.
It is the usual volume of 260 pages and
contains the stenographic record of the
Rochester convention of August, 1910,
fully reported at the time in The Re-
view, with lists of members, etc.
Few of the florists who cater to local
demand have had, in past seasons, enough
stock to go around. For such as these the
low price of glass this season is an un-
mixed blessing. There is no danger that
the resulting sudden increase in supply,
whatever it may do to the big wholesale
markets, will work harm in the country at
large.
GOSFEK
A good many people find it easier to
criticise what others do than it is to do
something batter themselves. The pub-
licity work of the National Council of
Horticulture may not have been or be
perfect, it may not be as strong as the
trade would like, but there are in it
fundamentals that are worth bringing
again to the attention of some profes-
sional planters, as well as the amateurs
for whom they are intended. For in-
stance, how often does one see a florist
disregard one or more of the rules laid
down in the following:
"It is just as important for the man
or woman who would beautify his home
to consider where to plant as what to
plant. Never plant flowers in a round
bed. Plant in long beds in front of
shrubbery, where the flowers will have
a background of green foliage. Plant
the tall flowers at the back, especially
those with brilliant colors, like cannas,
hollyhocks, and the like. Instead of a
big canna bed in the center of the lawn,
string the cannas out, two or three
plants deep, in front of tall shrubbery,
preferably back in the yard. Plant
smaller and more delicate flowers near
the front. Put some sweet-scented va-
rieties near the porch and the windows
of the living room. Little triangular
beds in the sharp corners of the walks
are good, unless you already have roses
planted there. Above all, watch the
color scheme and do not put clashing
colors together.
"Do not plant flowers at all unless
you are prepared to take care of them.
Starved, sick, discontented flowers cry
out for help to every passer-by. If you
will consider carefully the questions of
suitable soil, proper fertilizer, and
choose varieties which fit your location,
however, you can have a flower garden
which will richly repay every hour's at-
tention that you give to it."
Every florist ought to practice these
things as well as preach them.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
This is the busy week, the one in
which the market handles a greater
quantity of material than in any other
one week in the year. The start was
made Saturday, April 8, when most of
the wholesale houses had the biggest
day since Christmas. Prior to that the
demand was what one of the whole-
salers likes to call lackadaisical, and in
the early days of the present week the
business was spotty; some houses had
more than their share, and others less,
and a rush of morning orders would
be followed by a dull afternoon, and
vice versa. Bright, warm weather
April 9 and 10 accelerated production
to a marked extent and all flowers were
plentiful, even Beauties being fully
equal to the demand, though that is not
saying much, for buyers have almost
ceased asking for Beauties.
The opening of the present week
found the wholesalers in a quandary.
Easter always has produced the largest
volume of business of any day in the
year, but as late as April 10 the whole-
salers were practically unanimous in
saying that the business booked was far
below what it was the Monday before
Easter last year. A few houses were
able to report the normal number of
orders on hand, and some said they
were well booked up on certain special-
ties, but in the aggregate the orders
placed in advance have been extremely
light. It is a peculiar circumstance
that the business booked from city re-
tailers is much heavier, in proportion,
than the bookings from out of town;
usually it is just the other way. What
has become of the orders no one seems
to know. The general impression is
that the falling off in advance orders is
due to two closely related circumstances.
First of these is the general impression
existing throughout the country that
there will be an abundance of stock this
Easter, and, second, the recollection that
at Christmas there was a sharp break
in prices. There is every confidence
that the Easter business will in the end
make as largo a total as last year, if
not larger, but about the best that can
come now will be a deluge of late mail
and telegraph orders. These will add to
the difficulties of handling in three days
as much business as is ordinarily done
in three weeks.
A couple of bright days have added
immensely to the supply of stock and

Let Those Late Orders Come!
We are ready for them.
Don't Miss a Sale while there is Time for us to get the Flowers to the Train.
EASTEIt LILIES
Really good, long Lilies are scarce, but OUr Lilies are fine — all true Giganteums, clean, healthy
and even, mostly long stems. 100 1000
Long stems, the best in the market $15.00 $125.00
Medium stems, fine flowers 12.50 100.00
Short stems, good flowers 10.00 85.00
Packed at the greenhouses, in boxes of 100, and shipped without rehandling.
KILLARNEYS
These are extra fine and plentiful.
Retailers should order freely of our Killarney and White Killarney,
for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making
friends for those who buy of us. Finer Killameys never were seen — better
flowers, stronger stems or more perfect foliage — the crop is so large that we
are able to give the trade all lengths in quantity.
CARNATIONS
We have never had a finer lot of stock at Easter. The cool weather
has held them right up to the midwinter quality. If you need good car-
nations, wire us— we can take care of a very large demand.
SWEET PEAS
For years we have been headquarters for Sweet Peas, but we never
have had at this date such fine stock or such large quantities as now. Extra
long stems, carrying large, perfect flowers. All the fancy colors as well as
white and pink. We are shipping these Peas, fresh picked, in great
quantities and they never fail to give buyers the best of satisfaction.

Fine Valley is something you need
every day in the year. We alw^ays

it is the general statement that recent
weather conditions have been all that
anyone could ask. The quality of stock
is much better than it ordinarily is at
80 late a date in spring. Beauties will
be the one really short item. The fail-
ure of the growers to get a Beauty crop
is the subject of wide remark. When
the largest growers say they are unable
to handle Beauty orders and practically
everyone is in more or less the same
boat, the observers wonder what com-
bination of circumstances could be re-
sponsible for so unfortunate a result.
Everyone in this market had more Beau-
ties for Christmas than ever before
was known, and everyone has had fewer
since Christmas than in any previous
year. The weeks from Christmas to
Easter have passed witli some of the
largest places completely at a loss to get
the Beauties into crop again, something
that never before has happened. The
shortage has been so long continued that
the demand also has become extremely
light. The general impression is that
there will be other roses of superior
quality to meet any possible demand.
At the opening of the week white
carnations were scarce, a condition not
generally noted at Easter. The opinion
of many is that greenhouse storage
rooms are full of them, but there are
those who sav that first clas-.s carnations
will be good property all this week.
Single violets are gone, but the doubles
coming in are better than usual for the
middle of April. Bulbous stock bloomed
indoors is not in large supply, but there
are uncounted thousands of thei Vir-
ginia jonquils. Sweet peas are not so
abundant as they were a fortnight or so
ago, and the better quality sells excel-
lentlv, though at no fancy prices. Or-
chids are slightly less abundant. Valley
is among the most plentiful of items.
The predictions that the bulk of the
lilies will be short-stemmed are turning
out to be true; some of the houses
found themselves sold out of long-
stemmed lilies early in the week, while
thov had an abundance of short-

stemmed ^tock. Under the circumstances
long lilies ought to be worth the prices,
but with so many shorts seeking a
buyer it serves to demoralize values on
all grades, for there still are long fancy
lilies to be had in quantity, advance or-
ders having bten lighter than was ex-
pected.
There is an active demand for green
goods, but an abundance of ferns to
meet the Easter call.
Club Meeting.
At the meeting of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club April 6, when there was a
large attendance, the club received an
intimation that an invitation will be
received to join with the Milwaukee
Florists' Club in a meeting at Milwau-
kee May 4, and it was voted to author-
ize the secretary to act as seems desir-
able in calling the May meeting. Those

:ind purple.
James Pseneeka, for several years
foreman for Wietor Bros., is preparing
to devote his time to the business at

DETROIT.
The Market.
Business last week was good, consid-
ering the approaching storm. Easter
prospects are quite promising. In fact,
if the present fine weather holds out,
there is every indication that all pre-
vious records will be broken. Large
shipments of plants are being made
daily by local plant growers.
The outlook for a good supply of cut
flowers is bright, and it is the opinion
of the retailers in general that the
sale of cut flowers will be by far the
• best in the history of the city. Car-
nations will not be in as large supply as
in some former years, but there will be
enough to fill all orders. The indica-
tions are that violets will be good.
Sweet peas are good, but by no means
equal to the demand.
The large growers of Easter lilies re-
port that these flowers will be well
cleaned up, and on Monday, April 10.
many growers of lilies and other plants
were sold out.
Various Notes.
The report of the only exhibit by a
retailer at last week 's show, held by
the Detroit Florists' Club, was unin-
tentionally omitted in last week's notes.
This one exhibit was unusually inter-
esting and consisted of three attractive
baskets of the newest in roses — Double
pink Klllarney, Aaron Ward and Irish
Melody — and was staged by Albert
Pochelon, of the Bemb Floral Co.
Ere long, horses will be used only
for hauling soil by Detroit retail flo-
rists. J. F. Sullivan placed an order
for an Oliver this week and W. B.
Brown is having a delivery body built
upon a newly purchased Beyster
chassis.
No doubt one of the busiest men in
town is Michael Bloy. He is doing both
a retail and wholesale business and is
working night and day.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Bising Eastern Market.
The cut flower market is fairly active,
yet conditions are hardly satisfactory.
The weather has had a steadying ef-
fect, keeping up quality and retarding
the crops; still there has not been
enough business to market all the flow-
ers at listed prices.
The chief interest at the close of the
present week, April 12, centers on
Easter. Carnations advanced April 10,
closely followed by callas, in anticipa-
tion of the demand for the churches for
Holy Thursday. Sweet peas and vio-
lets have joined in the upward move-
ment. But the important lilies and
roses are expected to show little or no
advance. There are immense crops of
both Easter lilies and lilies of the val-
ley in sight — crops too large to warrant
any advance, except for the finest se-
lected stock. The rose crops are likely

to be fairly heavy. With such a wealth
of other material, a general advance is
not warranted.
There was a scarcity of white carna-
tions on one or two days of the last
week. Snapdragons are plentiful and
cheap. Cattleyas have shortened de-
cidedly. Single violets are still obtain-
able. Southern daffodils have arrived
in fine shape. Beauties are more abun-

rather light in color. There has been

Every florist who has Easter plants
expects his friends and neighbors to
call on him on Palm Sunday and see
all there is to be seen. Of course even
the most energetic could not see more-
than a few of the many pretty sights

one was selected. The choice fell on
William K. Harris. There were two
reasons for this; first and foremost,
Mark Patton Mills had extended one
of those cordial invitations that are a
distinction in themselves and — matter
of interest to a newspaper man — there
was a little invitation in the papers to
see the Easter show at Harris's on
Palm Sunday.
I have been there before on that day,
always in the morning, with a select
few securing a stage rehearsal, so to
speak, of the afternoon performance.
I have there listened with deep interest
to discussions in which his Grace of
York and other famous horticultural
celebrities took part; discussions on, for
instance, the exact proportions of white
and of green that should properly apr
pear in a high-bred variegated plant
of this or that variety. To go in the
afternoon when the crowd was there
was a treat never before enjoyed.
It was glorious. West Philadelphia
came in force, despite the cold winds,
undismayed by the inch of snow, fast
disappearing, that had startled them on
wakening that morning. Fathers, moth-
ers, sisters, brothers, youngsters, lovers,
all were there enjoying the beautiful
sight. The shed was arranged as it
always is, with groups of plants in half

ris secured one bulb of the genuine
simon-pure stock from a careful gar-
dener to whom he had sold this variety
when at the zenith of its fame. This
bulb in such hands must have produced
something in these four years, hence
the question. Mr. Harris smiled
thoughtfully and led the way to a
barred greenhouse door that gave the
manly physique of Mr. Shoch a close
squeeze before admitting him. Once
within the house and the door closed
to the curious throng without, Mr. Har-
ris led the way to the extreme end,
where there was a noble group of the
true Lilium Harrisii grown from bulbs
of walnut size. These lilies showed
their pyramidal form and handsome
flowers to advantage. "This is my
hobby," Mr. Harris said, "a toy that
gives me pleasure. You know I helped
my father care for this lily when a
child; it has associations. My toy is
proving profitable, too. These lilies are
all sold as cut blooms to one man; no
one knows where they go. ' ' It oc-
curred to me this was strikingly true.
"I shall keep the bulbs and have per-
haps an exclusive strain of rare merit."
You may think that to write a para-
graph just on a lily with such a wealth
of material about you is iraprovidently
wasteful. Yet remember, kind friend,
that this was a holiday; the joyous
laughter of children, inquiries of flower
lovers, the throng everywhere, is the
excuse. The jam was so great that
when the time was up, leaving would
have been a slow matter were it not

Vivsitors to the Floracroft Green-

rewarded by a really magnificent sight.
One large King house is entirely filled
with specimen hydrangeas, many of
them in tubs — all unstaked. Just think
of it, a house of big hydrangeas, a sea
of pink and nary a stake! Is not that
a feather in the cap of Edward Ross?
Lilies, too, are well done — taller than
last year. And valley — yes, 75,000 of
it; the kind of valley that makes Mr.
Stokes wonder what brand to select to
impress on all the fact that Floracroft
valley is the standard. Why not call
it I'loracroft?

The Weekly Florists' Review*
Apbil 13, 1911.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Trade has been quiet for some days.
The arrivals of flowers have fallen off
somewhat, preparatory no doubt to the
customary Easter pickling process, but
the demand has been light. This, how-
ever, is the rule just before Easter and
everyone is anticipating a bumper busi-
ness at the end of the present week.
The supply of Easter lilies appears to
be about normal. With giganteums,
which are mainly grown here, the com-
plaint has been less of disease than the
extreme dwarfness of the plants, many
not exceeding a foot in height. Good
lilies, either cut or in pots, are readily
making $12.50 per hundred, but a good
many are being sold at $10 and a few
even less. These latter, however, are
not first quality flowers at all.
Carnations have been abundant at
from $1 to $3. There will be an ample
offering of these for Easter and low
prices on pickled stock are probable.
Roses are in heavy supply. The warmer
weather last week greatly increased the
cut and caused a reduction in prices.
American Beauties are of extra fine
quality and rather more plentiful, but
the Killarneys remain leaders.
Single violets are about done; such as
still arrive are getting small. Some
nice coldframe stock will last until
Easter. There is still a good quantity
of doubles, these usually flowering until
the middle of May. Sweet peas are in
tremendous supply, and the quality is
superb. It is noticed that colors other
than white, pink and lavender are hard
to sell, dark blue and purple especially
so. A few of the Countess Spencer type
are now arriving. Dutch bulbous flow-
ers contiuue abundant. Of Spanish iris
the supply is increasing. Gladioli of
the large-flowered types are coming in,
but none of the small-flowered ones.
Antirrhinums are fine and good colors
sell well. Quite a number of stocks are
seen. These sell better at Memorial
day than now. Marguerites are in-
creasing in quantity; the yellows are of
grand quality and sell well. There is a
heavy supply of pansies and more Eng-
lish primroses than a week ago. Mig-
nonette is still seen of good quality.
Callas are bverplentiful. Valley con-
tinues to move rather slowly. Orchids
are scarce, but not in much demand.
Gardenias are plentiful and cheaper.
Green supplies are selling better.
Trade in pot plants is now active and
some of the largest growers are already
pretty well sold out. In ramblers Taus-
endscbon, Hiawatha and Dorothy Per-
kins are most in evidence. Some nice
hybrids and Clothilde Souperts are also
coming in. Among other plants seen
are quite a variety of hydrangeas.
These, however, are less popular at
Easter than Memorial day. Margue-
rites are selling well, also genistas,
ericas, Acacia paradoxa and azaleas.
Deciduous shrubs in variety are being
featured quite a little, and in the way
of small and cheaper plants geraniums
are being picked up in considerable
numbers. In spiraeas the pink Queen
Alexandra is seen well flowered, as well
as grandiflora, Gladstone and astil-
boides.
Various Notes.
Henry M. Robinson & Co. have had
quite a call for lilies in pots. These
they ship direct from the greenhouses
to their customers. They are looking

for a bumper Easter business. They
state that the National Flower Show
proved a grand advertisement for them,
as it brought them many new custom-
ers. They have just shipped orders to
Michigan, Illinois, Canada and Man-
chester, England.
L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, has a
fine crop of annual chrysanthemums
coming into flower. Winsor and Pink
Delight carnations are extra fine with
him just now.
The large new white carnation, Gene-
vieve, which secured a silver medal for
Patten & Co. at the recent exhibition,
will be worth watching. It is a fancy
flower and the fragrance beats that of
any white on the market. They have
had a heavy call for rooted cuttings
this season.
C. E. Holbrow, of Brighton, has a
beautiful lot of rambler roses, mar-
guerites and other Easter plants.
Edward MacMulkin has an interest-
ing group of named cacti as a feature in
the center of his big show window. He
has a fine lot of Erica cupressina and
splendid batches of specimen azaleas,
bougainvilleas. acacias, ramblers and
other Easter plants.
Among those still bringing in single
violets of excellent quality are Kidder
Bros, and C. A. Sanborn, of Woburn;
with doubles, H. F. Calder is still
strong, also W. B. Goodenow. of Stough-
ton.
Thomas Pegler has added a fine cash
register to his equipment at the Boston
Flower Exchange. He is handling at
present quantities of excellent gladioli
of the large-flowered type from W. A.
Biggs, of Auburndale.
The finest golden yellow trumpet nar-
cissus seen at the recent exhibition was
King Alfred. This has a mammoth
flower which completely places Golden
Spur in the shade. William Patterson,
of Wollaston, Paine Bros, and Mann
Bros, have all grown some this season.
Lester Mann states, however, that it
will not force successfully, and as the
bulbs are about $1 each yet, it is un-
likely to be heavily grown commercially
for some time.

your attention to the branches of the Huckleberry Tree as a most elegant decorative green. The
branches are flat, very thickly furnished with exceedingly lustrous green leaves, and it seems to adapt itself
to almost any position in decoration that the Wild Smilax can be used in, and will prove of great value to
you for your decorations through the months of April, May and June.
Do not order to arrive much before the date of using. Huckleberry will retain its color several days in decoration,
but is not a good keeper in the case. All Orders filled promptly. NO DISAlPPOINTHENTS.

to Pink Delight and Enchantress in the
light pink class. All their carnations
have stems of exceptional length. They
sold over 8,000 sweet peas April 9.
William Sim is rapidly filling his nu-
merous violet houses with tomatoes. His
shipments of sweet peas are now im-
mense in quantity and superb in qual-
ity.
P. L. Carbone is showing some grand
standard Hiawatha roses and beautiful
specimens of Ghent azaleas in pink, white
and yellow; also quite a variety of
charming deciduous flowering shrubs.
Frank J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has as
usual an excellent lot of lilies, acacias,
genistas and other flowering plants for
Easter.
Mann Bros., of Randolph, have this
season 4,000 spikes of Lilium candidum,
the true broad-petaled type. The con-
trast between this and the narrow-
petaled sort is marked. The latter is
simply worthless in the market, but big
bulbs offered at a low rate continue to
tempt buyers.
Mrs. J. F. Flood, of Woburn, is just
recovering from a serious sickness. Mr.
Flood finds a ready market for all the
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri he
can grow.
Herman Waldecker, of Braintree,
among his other specialties has at pres-
ent a fine lot of geraniums flowering
in small pots, also sweet peas and mig-
nonette, in addition to his main crop,
which is carnations.
Adolph Koch, of Nobscot, has excep-
tionally good antirrhinums. He grows
these in 7-inch pots, which he stands
at intervals along his carnation houses,
allowing them to root through. By this
method he secures as many as fifteen
to twenty spikes on many of his plants.
W. W. Edgar Co. has a capital lot of
hybrid perpetual roses in pots for
Easter, embracing many of the leading
varieties. They have hit it just right
with their lilies. White genistas^ hy-
drangeas, acacias, azaleas, etc., are all
in prime shape. H, H. Bartsch was in
charge of the W. W. Edgar exhibit at
the late national show and not J. F.
Edgar.
Peirce Bros., of Waverley, have a fine
lot of lilies for Easter, also large quan-
tities of azaleas. Of gladioli they will
have many thousands in a short time.
The finest pots of lily of the valley
ever seen here are those grown by J. T.
Butterworth for Easter. W. N. Craig.

Six Pages of RetaOers' Cards
This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the facili-
ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help-
ful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and
make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service
for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers' cards remains the
one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. If you are the only florist in your city
represented here, you. get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not
represented and "the other fellow" is — ^we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders.
To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch
space. Other spaces in proportion. i^*jf.
Why not send your order today — ^now — before you forget it? '^'

there was plenty of one kind of stock or
another to keep pace with the call.
Lilies now rule the market, but carna-
tions are a decidedly scarce article.
They are completely off crop and the
dull weather of the last two weeks has
not helped the situation. Roses are
right in their glory, as thej' are fine in
quality and abundant in quantity,
while American Beauties are in a flour-
ishing condition. It has been necessary
to do a little scheming in order to keep
the Dutch bulbs back, but in spite of
best efforts many will be ready too soon;
consequently a loss is e-xpected along
that line. Valley will be plentiful for
Easter, likewise daffodils and narcissi.
The outdoor daffodils will also be right
in line, which is something the florists
prefer not to see at this time.
Green goods are exceedingly scarce.
Pot plants, such as spineas, azaleas, etc.,
are in good demand, the supply being
equal to it thus far.

The Dayton Florists' Club held its

session, the club adjourned for a social

attendance and Mr. and Mrs. Young
proved themselvea to be royal entertain-
ers. Dainty refreshments were served,
and a good time enjoyed by all. H. H.
Ritter, the retiring president of the
club, was presented with a beautiful
walking stick as a token of appreciation
of the faithful services he has rendered
to the club in the two years of his ad-
ministration. Mr. and Mrs. Horace

BOOT-ROT OF UBTTUCE.
I have been growing lettuce for 'two
seasons, in rich soil on the ground
level. I have been cutting Grand Rap-
ids weighing from half a pound to a
pound and a half. Yet, in spite of
ventilation and cultivation, I am
troubled somewhat by root-rot. Would
equal parts of sulphur and lime,
sprinkled over the soil and worked into
the soil between crops, help any? Would
the sulphur injure the lettuce of the
succeeding crop? Would chrysanthe-
mums grown in this soil be affected by
the same fungus? H. S. M.
Lime and sulphur are much used for
this fungus, which spreads over the
surface of the soil, causing the young
plants to rot off and fall over. It is
usually applied only to the affected
parts of the beds, after removing the
rotted plants.
I am wondering if you are not water-
ing too often. Fresh air is most i:?i-
portant, and careful watering next, in
preventing all lettuce diseases. Water
well when you do water, so it will not
be necessary to water so often, and do
not keep the soil too wet. In the win-
ter months less water is required. Cul-
tivating the surface soil will also help
it to dry out on top and to keep
sweeter. Water carefully between the
plants and do not wet them any more
than is necessary.
I do not think the sulphur could do
any harm to the next crop, as the per-
centage of sulphur would be small. It
is customary, however, to scrape off
the top soil and wheel it out before
spading under. This takes out some
disease and insects and would get the
sulphur out also. Chrysanthemums
would not get the same fungus.

PACIFIC COAST.
Santa Cruz, Cal. — E. C. Amling, the
Chicago wholesale florist, was a visitor
here April 2.
PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
Business is about the same as previous-
ly reported; funeral work constitutes the
major demand, with an occasional wed-
ding to help out. The counter trade is
brisk, but usually of small amounts, and
the totals are discouraging. Stock is
plentiful in almost every line, and close
attention is required to keep it on the
move. Sweet peas are plentiful, but vio-
lets are becoming scarce and a few days
more of sunshine will put them out of
the market.
The Easter stock of lilies matured early
and some of the growers had trouble in
keeping stock back till it was needed.
Ramblers, tulips and rhododendrons about
round up the potted stock and, of course,
lilacs are in great demand.
Outside flowers are progressing rapidly,
tulips and hyacinths are at their height
and lilacs will soon follow, but there is
hesitancy about putting out bedding
stock, as all danger of frost has not
passed. E. B. C.
TAOOMA, WASH.
The Market.
The weather of the last month has
been all that could be desired and,
while some of the garden stuff is not as
far advanced as in previous years, still
we feel well satisfied, especially when
we read of the cold, disagreeable
weather our eastern friends are having
to contend with. Bulbous stock is
blooming outside and it looks as though
that kind of material will be plentiful
for Easter. Carnations are of a good
quality, but the supply seems to be
rather limited. Valley and roses are
scarce and are bringing a good price.
Pot plants seem especially scarce,
with hardly an azalea to be seen. Ferns
and palms are in good demand, but are
mostly of the smaller grades; no one
seems to care to go in for the larger
sizes. Most growers are having trouble
with their Easter lilies and it seems
that we Tacoma growers have been
given a bad lot of bulbs in general.
Most of them will be on time, but there
seems to be too great a variation in
height, some of the giganteums ranging

Business last week was unusually
good, due, perhaps, to the visit of our
esteemed ex-president, Mr. Eoosevelt.
Various Notes.
The Floricultural Society met in its
new club room in the Chamber of Com-
merce building April 6. After a gen-
eral business meeting it was unani-
mously voted to hold a rose show in
Tacoma about June 20. A committee
of five, Messrs. Olson, Halkier, Sea-
mons, Benthein and Smith, was ap-
pointed to make arrangements. Mr.
Eoberts has been asked to lecture on
roses at the next regular meeting.
J. L. S.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Everything in town is satisfactory
with the exception of retail trade, but
the less said about that the better.
There is such a superabundance of all
kinds of stock that prices have been
thrown to the winds and the growers
take about what they are lucky enough
to get and say nothing. There is a
decrease in bulbous stock, however, and
daffodils, early tulips and narcissi
are not quite as much in evidence as
they have been. Gesnerianas and other
late kinds of tulips move fairly well,
but at low prices. Irises in several
shades, as well as peonies, help to keep
up the showing, together with a world
of fruit blossoms, lilac and native wild
flowers and greens. From all accounts,
there will be a great quantity of stock
for Easter and prices, in consequence,
are liable to be lower than they were
a year ago.
The Spring Flower Show.
The spring bulb show, given under
the auspices of the California State
Floral Society and the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society, from March 30
to April 2, was one of the most success-
ful ever given here, both from a finan-
cial and artistic standpoint. The gen-
eral public took a tremendous interest,
as the heavy attendance showed, and
practically all the growers in San Fran-
cisco and vicinity aided, both by their
exhibits and attendance. The weather
was all that could be desired and every-
thing was just right. The display of
seasonable flowers was the finest ever
shown in San Francisco, and too much
credit can not be given to those who
had the affair in charge. Although it
was too early for much of an assort-
ment of outside stock, with the excep-
tion of bulbs, these, with a large va-
riety of greenhouse flowers and flower-
ing plants, filled the large hall at the
Fairmount hotel.
The MacRorie-McLaren Co. had a
large and dazzling array of potted aza-
leas, wistarias, palms and evergreens
